My friend gave me a 12" Type-R that had the rubber surround blow from the cone. Is it possible to fix this with some kind of adhesive to get it back on and working again? Here is a picture:

you could try a CA glue or something like that it sould hole if you can give it presure i would just take it easy on the sub for a lil while to make sure that it will hold good and dont give the woofer to much power those type r's really dont want more than 500 watts

I wanted to see if standard super glue could work first. And I won't be powering it up in my car for awhile, I just wanted to see what I could do to get it fixed. |

my friend had some type rs but and he blew them underpowering them and it looked alot like that. He glued them back with i think super glue and they sound about like they did before (very underpowered) but it has held for almost a year now.

CA glue is basically super glue with a special chemical in it to make it dry faster and a little stronger, it can be had at hobby stores and Krazy glue from walmart is the same thing it just takes a little longer to dry, you normally dont have to use a lot of it but it couldnt hurt to use a good bit for something like that

it looks bad but a regular clear silicone culk if you can access from both sides will work fine.

There's a fabric glue you can get at Michael's or a craft place called Tacky glue - it would be perfect for this because it will retain a little bit of flex. Basically it's like Elmer's glue but WAY stronger and with that little bit of flex.

RTV anyone? Used it at work to seal an air leak on a portable air breathing unit. Thats gonna put out way more pressure than the sub.
