Sub-woofer surrounding repair
So i found a tear in the rubber surrounding of my Infinity Perfect a while ago and repaired it. but everything i repair it, it doesnt last. i tried nail polish, electrical tape/nail polish and a plain old inner tube patch. none last for more than a few months.
so does anyone else have any suggestions for this repair? seems i need something that'll seal the hole up like the nail polish did but has to be more flexible and able to withstand sub freezing temps.
and no, i dont have the money for a new sub or to have it re-coned. that is outta the question, unfortantly.

actually the surrounding was rubbing on the back of my seat and wore a hole through then it tore out a little.
someone on another board mentioned using liquid electrical tape, i have some so ill give it a try. if not ill try the silicone. i was a little worried some silicones would eat the butyle rubber...

ya i thought so...
anyway i ended up using liquid electrical tape. well after its initial run after being repaired it seems to hold VERY well. i also redrilled new holes after wood filling the old ones and put a new seal around the box where the sub sits.
sound is incredible, i forgot how good it sounded...now i remember why i bought the Perfect
i hightly recommened liquid electrical tape for rubber butyle surround repairs :)...thanx to another fella on a different forum for this tip!
