Sponge type material

[Gobot]

I have an older JL that I'm trying to refurbish but i can't seem to find the foam/paper material that goes around the outside where the mounting holes are. Anyone know what the technical name of that stuff is or where i can find some?

Are you thinking of a gasket? The thing that the sub screws down onto to stop air leaks?

No it's on top of the sub. I've seen it made out of foam sometimes paper. Maybe I should take a picture.

Should be the gasket. Take a picture.

Part I'm pointing to.

if it's an older JL sub it pressed paper that is used to give a little depth to the sub. I personally wouldn't redo that, I would just peel the remaining pieces and get a rubber gasket for it.

Ok so I'm looking for a rubber gasket

Is there any place I can buy parts that are specific for that sub?

You can use the foam gasket material that is used to seal around doors/windows, if you want to go the cheap route. It usually comes in a roll in various widths/thicknesses to suit your needs.
