Ok my little cousins where over my house and they droped something on my sub. It caused a pretty big rip in the subwoofer. 4-5 in. What do I do? Can the sub be repaired? Will it sound the same?
is it on the cone or the surround? If its the cone...maybe. If its the surround, you can repair it. Theres a kit made to repair the surround if it gets torn. But most likely, in your case, I'm assuming its the cone. Either way, if you were to decide to send it to JL to have it repaired, it would cost nearly as much as a new subwoofer (from what I heard). Anyways, take pictures and post them up.
"rip in the subwoofer. 4-5 in. What do I do? Can the sub be repaired? Will it sound the same?"
If the rip really is that big I reccomend sending it in to JL for a repair and it WILL cost you.If you do it yourself I have a feeling it will rip again or fall apart upon excursion.
it depends...i cant really tell from the pic bc its not a close up...regardless its not gonna sounds 100% like it should but if you did a good job on the repair then it should be sounding pretty good.
