Done and did it again


Hey folks.

I done did it again.

I threw a little shin-dig this weekend, and i was jamming that new Outkast CD, and managed to rip the foam surround. It is a tear along the driver cone, about 2-3 inches in length. That's what i get for running 200 WPC into some 50W radio shackers.

I am planning to upgrade to something better anyways, but that is not for a little while yet. I certanly dont want to send them in and pay the costs for repairs.

Does anybody have a reccommendation for repair? Im thinking of maybe lining the driver cone edge where the tear is with a little epoxy.

any reccommendatios?

i second the duck (duct) tape, followed by a stress test with some NIN "the fragile" (don't forget the kleenex :)
dude, are you in the south? (no offense) i never heard anyone say "done did it" until i moved down here to north cackalackey.........

Third the duct tape. If that doesn't work well then go with a glue (epoxy) and some other cone material from a junk car speaker or something.

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!
