[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8850404, member: 682903"] This is kind of a tough one, it's lifting half way around, which could cause an alignment issue. The problem with lifting the entire surround, is that you really need to shim the voice coil and this get a bit more involved / tricky if you need to remove the dust cap too. E6000 is a good glue for this. The best repair would be to lift the entire surround from the frame, remove the dust cap, shim the voice coil, and then glue / clamp the surround. This is a solid long lasting repair. However, if you were trying to do as little as possible: You could try scraping the frame where the surround has lifted, remove any old adhesive that remains, spread E6000 all along the frame, use a tooth pick to get it into the edge where it is still holding, clamp the surround, then quickly feel if the cone moves without coil rub up and down, then let it dry. I did this to an older Alpine Type S 10 I got for free that came unglued about a quarter of the surround, worked fine, but I didn't care how long it lasted, though held up even when I got rid of the sub. At any rate, good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
