Speaker repair question

[Fierce Critter]

...that you can repair a small hole or tear in the fabric of a speaker with super glue?

And if the round, center part is pocked in a little bit, what's the best way to pock it back out again?

Depends on the material the pseakers is made of... RTV works great for the outer edge... super glue is pretty rigid.. I would think it would buzz.. I could be wrong...

Good ole' ask.com

Most speakers need minor repair or adjustment. I always try to repair a speaker before resorting to re-coning. You can repair large tears and holes in the cone as well as loose cone edges. An old speaker rebuilder once told me to glue torn speaker cones with RTV (silicone caulk). I thought this was messy and "unprofessional" , but I found that it works great! RTV looks really bad, but unlike other glues, it remains flexible. Gluing a speaker cone with a rigid glue often just results in another rip since the glue will not flex with the rest of the cone.
