[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1864289, member: 561023"] No, No, No, No. Let me reiterate that ~ [B]NO[/B]. If silicone sealant was detrimental to rubber speaker surrounds (I cannot speak to its effects on foam surrounds) then doing this would have been a really bad idea: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v369/prowler573/DSCF0033.jpg[/IMG] See the area enclosed by the red line. The idiot that I had helping me put these 10s in their box made a slip-up and while trying to sink the mounting screws screwed up and ended up punching a very small hole in the surround of that sub. I coated that section of the surround with a thin layer of [B][I]silicone sealant[/I][/B] to make sure that very small hole did not become a larger one. That was about three years ago now. No adverse effects as of yet so I would assume there aren't going to be any. [/QUOTE]
