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?

Roofing cement is a good idea which I had not considered, but it really isn't very hard to replace a driver. This might be a fairly inexpensive repair too. I don't know if the cement will alter the drivers ability to travel.

Regardless of which of these routes of repair you decide to go with I would still recommend the epoxy in your ears!

What would your mother say if she heard you listening to Outkast?!?
