My question is this, if there is a tear or small hole around the rim of the speaker, I am assuming it is no good. this speaker is an Alpine X10. can it be fixed? can the top part be replaced so the rest is still useable? any help on this would be great as I know nothing about this stuff. Thanks! |

I was trying to get a picture up but no matter what size I did it at it kept saying it was too big. so sorry I dont have a picture. but yes its the subwoofer. there is a small hole where the screen part meets up with the flex part of the rim. I dont know if that makes any sense without a picture. I just didnt know if someone would buy it for like $50 with the hole there and could get it fixed and if that would be worth it to them. thanks. |

New member Username: Popscoffone93Post Number: 3 Registered: Sep-12 | yeah, sorry I could have added the link, I wanted to show where the hole was. but if you look at that picture there is the netting part or whatever you call that, and then a wide solid ring and then ridges, the hole is where the solid ring meets the ridges. is that part fixable if the sub still works? also do you know how to test an amp without hooking it up to a car? I have a bunch of amps that I dont know if they work or not and Cartoys wants $35 a test, not an option. Thanks! |

Anyways fixmyspeaker.com can do it and do it well is just that is not cheap. Regarding the amp testing it can be done with a car battery or with a beefy PC power supply (low output only). However you need to be a little familiar with wiring stuff right and with amp settings. |
