[QUOTE="bbeljefe, post: 8159137, member: 655960"] You can buy it at Autozone or any other parts house. And it comes in black, which would be a close match to the color of the foam. Before you repair it, clean the foam with some sort of solvent. Isopropyl or denatured alcohol should do it and the former is in most people's medicine cabinet anyway. Spread a thin layer of the silicone over the crack(s) on both sides of the surround, making sure that it gets all the way into the crack but also making sure to leave a thin layer of it spread over the surround about 1/4 to 3/8" past the edges of the crack(s). Let it dry for at least 8 hours before using the sub and you should have a long lasing repair.... unless the foam has deteriorated, in which case it will just crack somewhere else. ;-) EDIT: Just saw the thread title again and realized you said rubber surround. Sorry about the foam comments... I'm getting old. [/QUOTE]
