small holes under tinsel leads

I picked up a Fi BL today and noticed small holes in the spider under the tinsel leads. Looks like some serious tinsel slap. The holes are no bigger than .25 inches each. Repairable?

Lot of spiders will wear where the leads rub on them. Not much you can do. Keep running until they totally fail. Odds are it's using multiple spiders anyway so it should retain most of its compliance.

Looks like I'll be taking a ride to Largo and getting my money back.

They are pretty small holes, glue is a no go?

nope. Get money back if u can. I'f u can't then just beat them to death till they blow and recone. Or make the person u bought them from pay for the recones. SPLAUDIO can take care of that for ya.

Update: The holes have not worn through the second spider. My buddy built a box and we hooked it up to a Planet Audio AP2000D. Sounds fine and hits hard. The guy I bought it from sent me $100 to get it reconed. So as of now I paid 40$ for this working sub. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
