How long do the rubber surround of a subwoofer last? 

I play mines almost full tilt and rms power every day. Recently the rubber surround started to crack and break . When I touched it, some of it was very brittle. It never in the sun and I had the subs for 8yrs.

Not sure why you bumped this...if the surrounds are falling apart, those subs are done.  You'll need to replace them or recone them.  You got 8 years use out of them and that isn't terrible.

bassmunky just rebumps his threads for no reason, even after he gets answers.  Thats just what he does, and we accept him for who he is. ❤️

I agree with Crazy. The answer is “it could be anything (heat, humidity, bad batch of material, etc), but you got 8 yrs of use so thats not a bad deal”. All the possible reasons are things you cant control anyway. Unless you specifically wiped them with windex or some shit like that.

the islands UV index hovers from 9-11 year around, coupled with high humidity,high temps,high salt,strong biology and things start to degrade very very quickly out here.

At that point it depends on how well you take care of the equipment, 8 years is pretty good.

I start to get bored with my equipment after a few years, would have been sold long before the 8 year mark.
