One of my friends has a JL 10W6v2 Subwoofer, that developed a tear around the cone. There have been a few cases where this happens and JL fixes the sub and sends it back, but because the sub is past warranty, JL wants 200 dollars for it. I wanted to know if anyone knows of a shop that fixes subwoofer surrounds or any sort of adhesives that might work. thanks in advance, and here is a picture of the sub.

 

If you live in a big city there's usually speaker repair and electronics repair companies that can do it. I know there such places in San Diego anyway.

 

If it's in the surround and not the cone itself, you can sometimes do a garage job by sealing it with clear silicone caulking, FROM THE REAR, with your finger.

Or go see Neal:

Great guys! wow Neal is in my area i will give him a call and keep everyone posted!

 

Yeah, amazing what happens when you google "Speaker repair" and "Sacramento" : )

Good luck on that!

 

i actually did but i guess i need to refine my searching technique's because he didnt come up at all

 

Mr. Neal responded to my email within hours and quoted me $35.00 to replace the foam surround!

that's peanuts compared to the $175 price id have to pay to send teh woofer back to JL.




thanks once again, elduderino for finding the link

i will keep everyone posted whether or not my friend goes down this path.

 

if it's an old sub and you don't care for it much ... glue gun also works.
