JL woofer ripping.

I was getting ready to install my JL 10W6v2 sub into my Z and notice this rip in the outer foam.



I'm assuming that this woofer is toast. Am I right?? Kind of bummed out. I really liked the woofer. I picked it up used from a member on this board, but didn't get a receipt. So, I don't think I can send it back for warrant repair.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's not good.

I do know that you can get that repaired at a speaker repair shop. I wanna say the foam ring can be replaced for pretty cheap, maybe $25.

Is the speaker still under warranty?

were is the rip at exactly. u can maybe use black tape on the inside of the foam. Or some rubber sealent, a light coat should be good. First call JL see waht they say. They will try to help u out.
