[QUOTE="02parkave, post: 4094342, member: 551920"] rubber is heavier, does last longer, and looks better (imo) is it superior? absolutely not. foam is light, strong, and very durable as well. is it superior? nope. its all in what you are trying to get out of the woofer. a few points here- don't base your sub buying decision off of a video on youtube (or any site) and with current technology- i would venture (and actually, i would put a small amount of $$$ on) the fact that the surround would detach from the cone before breaking because of pressure in the box, be it a foam or a rubber surround. neither is likely to happen... and also- many "foam" surrounds have rubber impregnated (or mixed) into them anymore, anyways.
