sundown sa8v2 surround not glued down properly

[req 0]

Hey there!

I have this awesome little subwoofer that i have barely used more than a few hours - and the surround in a small area is comming up from the landing. i heard chuffing in a sealed box with the grommet and thought there was an air leak. upon further inspection i came to notice that the surround was not fully adhered to the basket surround landing!

this is a project for a customer of mine, and i have already sent an email into you via your web support contact form - but this is kind of an emergency, as i am supposed to be finishing the fiberglass box for him this weekend - i am about 50% done with it and i am going to push forward with the baffle and port still - but i need to know what you recommend to fix the problem.

i do have some bob smith industries IC-2000 ca glue that i could use to re-glue this area - but i did not want to start putting glue down without express permission from you guys because i do not want to be liable for any warranty items - just in case. i have plenty of expierence at putting speakers together, i just want to make sure its not an issue.

also, you may want to put an addition to your website about the specs of the overall diameter of the speakers WITH the gasket... i added 1\4" to the OD of the speaker when i made my flush baffle, and it does not fit with the gasket on - its real close, but im not about to jam it down there. maybe just add a line "overall speaker diameter with mounting gasket 8.5" or something. just food for thought.

cheers-

I would use amazing goop for it or 2 part epoxy.

amazing goop is the way to go imo

and why not IC-2000?

That glue is not designed for porous surfaces; also I don't suggest using accelerator on the foam.

A "soft" glue like Amazing Goop or E6000 is what I'd suggest.

ok, now is it OK for me to apply this glue without any reprocussions to the warrantyfailure of this speaker? because i will repair it to the best of my abilities - but i do not want to be responsable if the glue fails.

thanks for getting back to me so quickly

Yes that is fine.
