ISO Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) He only has the 10 inch and 8 inch left. Nothing else. My recone job didn't take. I reconed them perfect but the glue did not adhere to the Santoprene rubber surround. The spiders are solid but the surround is not attached. I still have a 50% chance of finishing the job rite if I could find something to adhere to the Santoprene. Rockford and Kicker will not come off their secrets about their special glues so I don't know what to do next. I had them playing till they came apart. So just a warning its really hard to find something to adhere to Santoprene.

ISO Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) ca glue wont hold? I didn't try the CA glue I tryed something from another sub, amp manufacture. Rockford didn't use CA glue either. From my research it doesn't look like CA glue will work with Santoprene but I am willing to try it anyway. I'll have to get ahold of Groundpounder and order some. Ya the research on Santoprene was shitty. Its a high quality material but is very,very picky with what you can use it with. If the dust caps weren't glue on, it woudn't be a big deal but I built the whole sub so I will just have to glue the surround down and try and keep things centered. Its some mean ass adhesive I have, it just dosen't like Santoprene. I haven't givin up yet chevyboy.
