Who knows a lot about car subwoofers? Need repair help.
    #5696456 - 05/31/06 08:20 PM (17 years, 7 months ago)

I think my subs are fucked up, but I'm not sure.

I opened the trunk the other day and my sub box had fallen over. The sub side of the box was laying on the floor of the trunk. When I flipped it back up, one of the subs was fine, one of them is messed up.

The subs are Infinity Kappa Perfect 12.1's.
Here's a pic of them:


Alright, see that thick rim of rubber that goes around the edge? It's notched for screws and whatnot. About 1/4-1/3 of that thick rubber ring came off. The actual rubber surround (part that flexes) doesn't appear to be torn and the cone is not damaged.

The subs are in a sealed box. When I push on the one that is messed up (radio off), there is a lot less resistance(easier to push back) than on the one that is fine. I can push the broken one back further too.

Is this a problem? Is it repairable? What do you reccomend? I was thinking about getting some silicone glue and regluing the rubber rim back onto the sub. Good idea, bad idea?

As long as it was just the rubber ring around the edge, it should be fine.

Only way to really find out is put something bassy on and crank up the v :wink:

You will more than likely want to put that sub on a diet with less watts and try siliconing it.
