Done and did it again



Hey folks.

I done did it again.

I threw a little shin-dig this weekend, and i was jamming that new Outkast CD, and managed to rip the foam surround. It is a tear along the driver cone, about 2-3 inches in length. That's what i get for running 200 WPC into some 50W radio shackers.

I am planning to upgrade to something better anyways, but that is not for a little while yet. I certanly dont want to send them in and pay the costs for repairs.

Does anybody have a reccommendation for repair? Im thinking of maybe lining the driver cone edge where the tear is with a little epoxy.

any reccommendatios?
slappy
Wait until you see used pair on eBay, etc. Price is likely to be less than you could send in & repair speakers for.
In no particular order:

1. Grow a brain
2. Quit listening to that crap
3. Throw the speakers in the garbage.
Wow! Im glad to see the level of maturity of your responses.
Grow a brain? Wow. If i do, can i come up with snappy responsed like that? Stop listening to that crap? Another nice one. I bet your parents would be proud of that brilliant response. I guess i must be stupid to own these speakers huh? I guess instead of getting ready to buy a house and supporting my fiancee while she finishes school instead of blowing my cash on a set of speakers that i plan to upgrade a little down the road makes me an idiot huh?
Line your ears with epoxy! While rather rude i did find that one amusing.

Beavis, thankyou for sending a good responce, at least 1 out of 3 posts arent from bitter old men.
I'm waiting for a real upgrade, thats why im looking for a quick fix. The system i currently run is a result of bad happenings, but it gets me by. Well, it did. I really dont want to buy another set of these. Im just looking for a 2-3 dollar fix.
