If you're thinking you might not get to your upgrade soon, a $50-$100 or so solution might be to find a pair of Cerwin Vegas in your local classified paper -- they'll take a TON of punishment, not sound shameful, and get you by for a while. Sell them for the same or a hair less when you're done with them. As for the tear... try electrical tape. Outkast? Can't help you there (too Nu!) Try some old-school metal like Kreator or Testament. Wait, you had friends over. Never mind.
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?
