Torn Q12 surround help

[Torn Q12 surround help]

No it isn't separated from the cone. My friend tore it lifting it up and he says his finger slipped cuz it was heavier than he expected. The tear is about 3/4" up from the cone and about 1" wide running parallel with the cone/surround seam.

As a side note, are they that desirable? Does the double stacked magnet make a difference?

Haha, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it first. I'm a noon when it comes to driver building or repair. Amps, that's simple.

Yes I agree, I just hate the idea I spending the money on the shipping. Friggin sub weighs 50 pounds boxed up.

I need help on how to fix my torn surround. Can I get a replacement from Fi and repair it myself or do I have to send it in? Is there a proven way to fix a tear in a foam surround other than shoe goo?

Also, can you determine the options a sub has without tearing the speaker apart? Thanx guys.

Also, any ideas on determining the options it has? I can't remember what I ordered, haha.

I don't like the idea of shoe goo. I'm more into the idea of replacing the actual surround. Can you get a new surround from Fi?

Hi folks, new poster but old owner of a q12 sub. I love the driver but I can't use it right now because my bonehead buddy tore the surround with his finger lifting the sub up one day. There's a 1" horizontal tear in the surround now and I'd like to know if I can repair it or if I have to send it in for a recone. Also, it's an older dual stack motor, is there a way to figure out the options on it without tearing it apart? Thanx for any help.
