Scratch on the rubber? How bad is it? (Picture attached)

i have had good experiences with using clear rtv on the back of the surround when i had that happen to me. clear rtv is flexible and sturdy. just remember, dont go banging a few hrs after u apply it, make sure u let it cure at least over night...

Use goop.

Ive heard this stuff stays pretty flexible.

As far as price, I just sold my pair of 15's (sw9152's) for $520 for the pair. They were pretty minty, though.

And that scratch doesn't look like it is all the way through, and those subs have a pretty thick durable surround. I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts to get worse. Just keep an eye on it.

doesnt look horrible, to prevent it from getting worse id use some silica based windshield replacement glue, never used goop, but i would imagine it would work the same

what's a goop anyway. Never heard of it.

U just go to the store and ask for goop or there's an offcial name for it?

no its not broken through. But isnt that going to affect the subs performance?

Audio is correct. I highly doubt any change in sound/performance.

If it makes you feel better you can add a little silicone

Well i guess it go narrowed to:

goop, silicone based windshield glue and silicone.

Any specific name of the product i should buy? or any silicone or goop will do?

alsp heard about clear nail polish
