[QUOTE="stones, post: 1340501, member: 540734"] I always put a bead of silicone around the mounting hole before mounting the woofer, it helps hold the screws and provides a nice airtight seal. There is some controversy about silicone eating foam surrounds, I will elaborate on this. The fumes given off by fresh uncured silicone do indeed corrode foam. However, this rate of corrosion is very slow, you would need to keep the foam in direct contact with the fumes of uncured silicone for a very long time before any noticeable damage to the foam surround to occur. A bead ran around the opening of the box will cure within hours and cause basically no damage. [/QUOTE]
