I ended up using loctite epoxy, seems to be working fantastic! Going to hook them up tomorrow and check it out.
-
I don't have a "local hobby shop" lol. What about the glue from fixmyspeaker.com? Its meant for recones and what not.
-
It seems like super glue would just crack away though

So super glue? No epoxys?

I was talking my girls subs out of her car today so she could haul some stuff. I noticed when i went to put them back in that the rubber surround had separated from the cone? WTF!!! just my luck right? well Its not fully pulled apart all the way around just 3/4 Of it is. How to you glue the rubber surround back to the cone? The subs are in my sig, the eclipse 12's, thank you in advance!!

Interesting thread. I just put a hole in the surround of a 15" BTL yesterday and bought some of that RTV gasket maker after searching and reading many many threads that recommended it. Since some of the material was scraped off also I needed something more than a glue, that would provide a bit of fill/support. So far it seems to have stuck very well. However, this appears to be a foam surround, and you appear to have a rubber surround.
Yeah The RTV silicone seems to work for a lot of people. I wish i was one of those people lol. Damn RF and there Rubber surround. I put some awesome goop and clear DAP calking on mine and it worked better, I just decided "screw it" and put it back in the box. It wont be hooked up for a few days so I'll let it dry and see how it worked out. As long as it lasts till my next pay check, I will be able to buy a replacement.
-
Dude, get a tube of CLEAR silicon from home depot. The kind that goes into a big caulking gun. I did it on a sub and it worked perfectly. Please STOP using gasket maker and wasting your money.
I got dap clear calking and awesome goop I used both and put the sub back in the box. I won't be using it so it can dry for a day or so. Let's hope it holds up!
-
How about shoe goo(p)? I just want the hole Sealed so it wont tear any bigger or leak. I don't care how it looks as long as it still sounds / plays good.
-
hardware store, flexible silicone. clear or white, put a tad on the back side, call it a day. i've done that to a few subs and it'll last just as long as the sub. costs just a few dollars
What exact brand? I tried using two types of permatex silicone gasket maker. The rtv and just some copper stuff, also tried rubber cement the rubber actually absorbed it. Clear finger nail polish falls off. Nothing wants to bond with this sub except me! I'm trying some super glue now, but seeing what the nail polish did, I'm not getting my hopes up. Maybe the rubber on my hx2 is different from other subs.
-
I picked up rtv gasket silicone, it seems to not want to stick to the rubber. Am I not letting it fully set? Will it bond better after the 24-hr setting period. I keep wasting money on all these silicones and glues.

Hey man not to thread jack but you guys are the first other people iv'e seen that live in washington. What part do you guys live? I live in the tri-cities.
Nine8SST Is from tacoma, I live in ellensburg man!
-
If you can up your budget a little, I have a NIB Eclipse XA1000 for $125 shipped.
I already purchased an amp thanks though!!
-
Tried rubber cement today, didn't work. Tried clear nail polish and it worked alright. I picked up some RTV gasket maker chit and im gonna try and use that on the back side.
-
coulda just used nail polish.
Someone said that "Back in the day we could just slap on some clear nail polish and BAM good to go lol". The gasket chit peeled right off. Now for round two. Car tire patch kit? What else can I use!?! Like a piece of rubber and some rubber cement?
-
CA glue... works like a champ...
be sure to use only enough to cover the cracked area and then some... should be fine.. let it sit for a few hours... before playing and shouldn't affect the sub at all...
The gasket making silicone is already on and drying, I really appreciate everyone's help and sympathy It was a really bum moment.
-
Dude calm down and take a deep breath. It will play just fine, just make sure you give it enough time(adhesive or gasket maker) before playing it. At least 24 hours to be safe I'd say. You don't have a HU yet right, so that should give it plenty of time.
I think i have a RF R500-1 on the way tomorrow, Yes i still need to get a HU and installation kit for that. I need an amp installation kit and what not. Gonna be at least 4-5 days before i get everything in.
-
I'll just play it till it falls apart. I gotta say for one 12 it sounded damn good. Here in the next couple months if it falls apart I will look for another sub.
-
it'll play just fine. i hope that gasket maker is flexible tho. never heard of or used it before and too lazy to google it right now
It is silicone pretty much, Seems flexible semi dry. I didn't want to use any glue's. I'll check it out in the morning and see how it set. I just put another layer on it.
-
He had it wired in series i believe, I took it out and pulled the crap 12 gauge wire out of it. It was wired from terminal to one positive terminal to one negative and then a jumper wire from each + to + and same for - to -. I had it hooked up to my girls R500-1 amp today and the thing pounded. I just wanted to put new wire in the box.
-
Alright, I am kicking myself in the ass right now. I couldn't find another Hx2 in this condition for 60$. The damn thing is practically new. I guess if it tears it tears I'll have to wait a while to get another sub.
-
I don't have any more money for subs. Its dual 4ohms
-
How serious is this? like honestly What would be the worse case scenario? I will be pushing the sub with a RF prime R500-1 amp. The sub is a 1000 Watt @ 4ohms DVC 12" HX2 RF
-
Use some "Amazing Goop" brand or 3M brand Windo-Weld. Not all silicones will stick as well. Don't glob it on, apply a few light layers.
I put some of that gasket maker on, it seems to be sticking fairly well. It seems "oily" leaves like a residue when you wipe it off. I am so pissed at myself right now >.< grrrr. I just got this sub today. I wanted to take the sub out to put some better wiring in the box. I applied one thin layer on the outside and took my finger and rubbed some on the inside. I'll see how it holds up i guess.
WTB: amp that does 200-300 @ 4ohms
