Done and did it again

SOLUTION! READ ME: the best stuff for a permanent cheap forever repair:
Get a tube of black urethane roofing cement. the good stuff.
It is really sticking coming out of the tube, and a mess if you start getting it on you. BUT, it dries into a thin, super flexible membrane. PERFECT for those stupid rotting woofers that you just want to work.
Just smear it carfully onto the surface of the surround, as thin as you can do it. Where it is ripped you can even put a thin bit of fabric tape to bridge the gap. let dry for at least two full days. And NEVER worry about those surrounds again.
I am serious. I used it on my Infinitys and it was just what I wanted.

I worked in a store once and fried $5000 pre-amp and a $600 sub in the same week by just touching them. I have witnesses too. I was simply near them. I've owned maybe a dozen Denon recievers and dvd players,- all of them have gone nuts or died or simply half of it doesn't work. At least you have some fun in the killing of your speakers. At least you know why and have a good reason. A good party could do any of us in!

Thanks Elizabeth, i think i have a tube of that laying around somewhere too.

Toomuchstuff Man thats wierd dude. Are you sure you are not "Magneto" off of X-men? Maybe you should try to focus your destructive powers and take down the evil BOSE empire.
hehehehe

...keep on rockin'!

duc-k-t tape or silicone or whatever is only the small problem. the larger one in rewinding a voice coil how'bout that?
i'd inspect visually the voice coil first before trying any of above said methods to cure the diffusor.

c'mon Slap,
there are plenty of opportunities to get a kit for less than $200 to build up a superb sounding monitor that literally smokes all entry level Kefs Tannoys and B@W's. It's very easy to start with kits but after that you can build up a speaker only on crossover circuit and cabinette drawings from row materials that even more can save you money.
