Help! What's the white glue coming from Celestion SL600SI


Hi,

Help! Can anyone help me make sense of the white gluey thing coming from Celestion SL600Si? I purchased them used from a seller here, have enjoyed them for 2 years, and noticed this anomaly today. Not sure when it started to happen. It looks like melted glue. See the pictures below:

Just the sealing compound getting squeezed out, could have been after a very hot day which softened it? If it worries you, undo the tweeter or bass which ever one it's coming from and push it back.

The crossover capacitor blew up and leaked. You probably drove the speaker too hard or an after market capacitor was installed that was not rated enough.

Many large electrolytic caps have white goo in them. You can confirm by opening up your speaker and look for a swollen capacitor. When they explode the goo can go in almost any direction - just like a pin prick leak in a pipe that sprays a couple of feet. I am surprised it leaked out the front - speakers are supposed to be air tight.
