hole in my subwoofer

I was just trying to mount my subwoofer in my sub box and i slipped and put a hole in the rubber of the woofer. Anyone have advice for how to fix it? This was of course on the last screw of the subwoofer

wakeboardin2k4, ouch! I think you're pretty much screwed. Any chance of taking it back to the store? They might give you a break on the next sub?

I bought it from a friend. Its a very small hole. I am going to try some silicon and see if that helps. Otherwise, screw it. I will just run the sub until the hole is too big and then get a new one. Its an old sub anyway.

Duct tape

Just kidding, I have no idea what the best material would be

I've used clear fingernail polish on a sub rip, worked ok.

Wakebrad, Really? Even with the expansion and pounding that a subwoofer does? I will give it a shot. Thanks man

I have had a JLw3 with a hole in it about the size of a quarter, and I couldn't tell any difference in the way it sounded and the other one that didn't have a hole. So if you just really don't care about it jus run it with the hole in it like you said until it gets just to big and then upgrade to a new one. Since its an old sub.

Ya, its an old polk sub and it sounded fine when i just ran it, my hole is maybe the size of a dime so i will just deal with it

If it's small ... silicone will probably do the trick. Leave it and it will likely rip over time.

ah yes, the small text. So tricky for those of us that are slightly special needs Mr. Green

Silicon worked for me.

also if its a bigger size hole, ive used a bike tire patch and crazy glue/ contact cemenet to seal it up and keep it from making the fluttering noise

I have used a piece of magazine with some silicone. It works.
