Cool vid. 9 years later and still useful. I used flex seal though. And it worked great. get the kind in a can like paint, use a small paint brush. Apply liberally. It is a rubbery material so will flex with the speaker. You can also apply electrical tape to the back of the crack on the inside of the driver, and slap some flex seal on there as well for additional support on the cone Edit: I used this method on an 8 inch sub inside a mackie/tapco monitor speaker. Very big driver
Thanks for this video it help and now I can turn my speaker up your a genius my friend, all I do is add more layres to it and now it's the bomb thank you
@@teddypi9689Prob polish. Polish will crack if flexed. Id use rubber cement, silicone or anything that dries w a little flexibility but this is cool if u have nothing else around.
woah, thanks, now I can blast hardbass all day without concern of speaker sounding lousy because its torn, if I turn the volume up the blown speakers sound really bad and the subwoofer doesn't get to shine.
Pardon my ignorance on speaker basics - would like a tiny direction for my problem. I bought a 8inch 50 watt woofer (not sub woofer) about 15 years back, used it for few hours and it sounded good. I opened it today and connected it to my amplifier and it outputs too little volume. I gently pushed the cone and spider up, and the volume goes up and it vibrates well. How can I fix it? The spider feels hard... the soft rubber on the outer edge of the cone is soft/flexible...
the only problem with that is nail polish contains acetone usually. Any sort of spray paint or glue or any harsh chemicals can eat away your outer edge of foam or rubber
Use bicycles puncture repair kit, the patches are elastic and the glue is elastic. Glue two patches, one on the front and another one one the other side
