    Question Subwoofer repair?

    Does anyone know where I can get my sub repaired? The foam ring came unglued. Can I send it back to JL. It's old as dirt.

    The was once upon a time a place called speaker clinic in marietta area.. they did everything from reconing and re surrounding to completely rebuilding a speaker from just a basket and magnet... however i have heard that particular location is no longer there and they have moved. unfortunatly i dont know to where..

    honestly, most companies repair their own stuff for a flat labor rate. at one point, kicker would recone a woofer for $35

    You could use something like shoe goo or rubber cement (or similar) to fix the surround, but its not the "best" thing in the world. Its definately a temporary fix to get you by until you get a new woofer. It might hold for 2 years, and it might hold for 2 notes. You want to use as little as possible to stil hold the surrond. The weight WILL effect the speaker to a certain extent, but probably not enough to make a huge difference. If your sub is old enough (3-4 years), its probably time to replace it anyway (IMO)...
