Subwoofer Foam Fix
 

I added a subwoofer foam fix to our Common Fixes Thread, just in case you all needed to see the process in replacing blown or torn speaker foam. Enjoy.

Issue: Got Blown Subwoofer?

Fix: My Ford Expedition custom sub box I build 14 years ago finally blew the foam surrounding. I decided to repair it with a new foam surround that I bought off eBay for around $26 for the kit with two surrounds. My woofer is a dual voice coil rockford fosgate punch, which is a saver if I could.

First step is to remove the old foam. Then put the included (kit) adhesive to both the speaker coil and foam, let it try till tacky, then apply. Do the inner first. Let it dry for about an hour, then proceed to do the same on the outer. Let it dry for another hour.

I wish I could have saved my Fosgate Power HX2 but something happened and one of the voice coil wires broke and I think it hit unbalanced which cause the voice coil itself to arc to the housing. =(

Hence the keyword "saver." Mine was just age and not blown. I put the box back in my Truck today as I had to seal it up with some silicone and let it dry.
