    Hey, i was given this box, someone put their hand through it to see if anything was in there lol, don't ask. Was going to attempt to fix it, it is missing a piece so was thinking to put a piece then epoxy it like crazy. I would just toss out the speaker but it looks like it's a good one, will take it out and see what it is.:)

    not bad..1000 watts peak 500 watts rms
    Is there a proper way to fix this, maybe fiberglass? Or it's a lost cause.

    I've done this myself to an old RF punch sub

    It had a hole in the paper cone...just took some NOTE CARDS, elmers school glue, scissors, and a black sharpie.

    cut the note card to fit over the hole with about .5 inches all around the hole...roughed up the paper cone a lil bit and glue it on....then I did the same to the back side of the cone.

    Then colored the card black and it worked great...it sounded like it was new and was pretty strong...after coloring it black from about 3-4 feet away you couldn't even tell it was repaired...I actually had fun repairing it

    I got a slit in a cone of one of my old sub.s the "hole" was small enough so that if you put the two teared pieces together you wouldn't notice. Its still pounding but currently hooked up to a home stereo.

    HAHA, it's going to be like NEW!! Mint Condition lol. I used a piece of cardboard from a box for the back, used a nice epoxy that i use to glue everything, then looking at the front i noticed it's material is very similar to a coffee shop tray. So i used a piece of that for the front. Now I just have to wait for it to cure then maybe put some more epoxy on the back piece around the edges. Then paint!
