Chamois Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 Im pushing my Alpine Type R 15" on 1200 Watts RMS And i broke the seal on the Subwoofer, where it connects to the basket .. Does anyone know what is used to bond them together? Can i just use some type of epoxy? Ill upload pics if requested 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T
chapo123 Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 yeah pics would help Steve I don't know why but everytime I see your new paint I want a Dr. Pepper...... is this normal? heres an analogy for you. running a high power stereo without a fuse is like having unprotected sex with that hot chick at the bar with the sketchy sexual history. Sure you may be fine and nothing happens but that one time something does happen you're fucked. i dont want woofer broke like bass sound clip clip and voice coil overheat 2 sa12s, saz1500 build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/91183-chapo123s-sundown-build-log/page__gopid__1250604entry1250604

Team-Atomic-Andrew Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 i think he ment he broke his surround

Chamois Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Posted August 19, 2010 Yeah i ment the rubber surround, where it attaches to the basket .. Ill upload pics as soon as i can, probably tommorow morning, cuz its almost 1am here and i cant take pics of it in the dark :: 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T
Chamois Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Posted August 19, 2010 Bump.. Morning pics See what i mean? Im assuming that it ripped a little bit at first and i didnt notice, so then i kept bumping it, but then i realized it wasn't as loud as normal, so i checked what was up, and now 3/4 of the surround is separated from the basket .. I guess 1200wrms is to much for my poor Type R :: 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T
skittlesRgood Posted August 19, 2010 Report Posted August 19, 2010 well, looks like fox was dead on. so go to harbor freight and get a tube of little clamps/clips for a couple bucks and some epoxy. put the epoxy on the basket and put as many clips as you can fit onto that lip. if any part of the surround comes up, it will "zipper" all the way around very easily. thats why you want a lot of clamps. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

So what kind of clamps do i need? Just something that will fit rightly around the basket and surround? How many clamps do you suggest i need? Im going to the store right now 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T
