Hole in foam surround


TzA

Recommended Posts

I slipped with my screw driver and put a hole in the side of my surround.

Below is a picture - I repaired it with Sureflex. I may have used a bit much.

Where you see the most concentrated area of the adhesive is where the hole was.

Is this something that needs to be replaced (re-cone)?

Will this effect sound at all?

What are your thoughts?

I appreciate any help..

Thank you.

The Sureflex has an flexible bond, also the package said it was good for speaker tears.

However, is the damage too great in my case or is this something that will not make too big of a difference if it doesn't get larger?

A small hole in the surround is really nothing to get worried about unless you are pushing the subs way past their limits all the time

I think thorshammer completely covered his surrounds in duct tape, and that shit banged hard, but this was before my time.

A little gorilla glue or a small strip of industrial tape is fine and you likely wont notice any difference

be careful gooping shit on there as it could rub on the mounting ring while playing

I appreciate the information. I guess I'll just have to keep my eye on it. It is a team 1k that I got on a group buy, I know recones are a great price. That's always an option if it gets worse.
