TL: need help with a torn foam sub surround

sunny201 · 11-05-2009, 2:56 PM

Okay so I bought this Cascade Designs Omega 12" sub. Its been awesome and Ive been loving it. It makes my ears bleed when im in the mood ;c] . At first the dust cap was coming loose, I took it off and epoxied it back together. Then the surround came loose and now its torn. Pics are attached

Is there any way that I can fix this with a glue and epoxy of some sort, or is it too late since its a big tear? Ive tried looking for high roll surround kits on ebay and cant find any. Idc if its rubber or foam but I want this fixed. Also if somebody can recommend a place in Jersey that would be good. Thanks.

Sorry about the big pics.

Whoa dude,that thing been taking a beating.
You can either try some of the rubberized dust cap glue PSI sells or get a new recone. That sub deserves a new recone since the surround looks too damaged to fix.
Even thou it looks like you threw it out of a helicoptor those are nice subs. Just get a recone and it will look and perform like new.

^^^ agreed great system but it definetly looks like you beat it up well, just make sure you have disengaged the sub because if it continues to try and play it can pull to much air and blow out the entire sub

Call Alex. IIRC, the Omega has a high roll surround now, so you might be able to get one of those for it.

What are the box specs? What amp are you running to it? Electrical upgrades? Any other pertinent info on your setup? If you have something way off in your install, it won't matter what sub you put in there, it will continue to do shit like this...
