[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8877468, member: 682903"] The Kevlar part of the cone looks to have absorbed some oil or something while being in the scrapyard, I'm not sure it would take any glue very well? I think I could E6000 or similar the surround to make it "work" but not sure if it's worth bothering with. The superglue job previously done appears to be holding fine still, but that oil might hinder attaching a surround to it. I suppose gluing to that edge of surround could work if done right. Spiders are still attached fine. I could honestly probably get a cone / surround combo off ebay cheap, and salvage the coil from this old cone and swap it over, even the spiders, I've done this before, making Frankenstein subs out of old damaged subs laying around. The current 15" in my car is a 15" Kove Armageddon / 12" American Bass Elite parts hybrid. 😅 Cone and basket from the Kove 15", motor, spiders, and voice coil from the AB 12", and a plywood shim under the surround as the basket wasn't deep enough with the AB spider pack. :LOL: I'm certainly not against hacking things together, just no use for this little 8 at the moment, but at least it's in a climate controlled environment where it can rest safely out of the elements.
