Painting the subwoofer cone

[Fiercetimbo17 10+ year member]

I know many of you think it stupid and it will change the ts parameters, among other things. However i do no care, this is not my sub and i have to get this logo on this amp rack/sub box and this is the only place i can think of, so please dont reply telling me how it will do so.

Anyways, im going to be painting the cone and then painting a logo on it.

The sub in question is an alpine type-e, so even if it ****s it up i dont care ill buy a new one. So my questions are what type of paint should i be looking to use? I was just thinking some rustolem spray paint or something similar.

Thanks

cant be any worse than people fiberglassing their cones or putting popsicle sticks on the back of them back in the day with glue to make the cones more rigid...

Why don't you just get a diffrent dust cap and put your own decal on it that you made. so much easier.

Maybe you should post a picture of the whole thing and get some oppinions on where to put the logo, since you said it has to be somewhere on the whole enclosure.

best idea so far BESIDES NOT DOING IT.

you might see if the paint will even stick to the cone.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
