Small Hole in My Subwoofer Cone... How Can I Fix This?

I recently took my car in for an inspection sticker, and while they were at it, they mentioned a brake light was out. They quickly fixed it, no big deal. Got everything sorted and the sticker, but when I opened my trunk later to grab a window scraper from the box near the speakers, I found a perfect screwdriver hole in one of my subwoofers. I want to know what the best way to repair this is. Would nylon patching material with E6000 work since it’s stretchy once it’s dry? Looking for some advice before I fix it myself. I have two Kicker CompQ 12s powered by a Rockford Fosgate R2-1200X1.

E6000 and no patch. Just use a tiny dab.

I’ll try that, thanks!

Do you have a pic of the hole?

Not at the moment, I’m at work. I can grab one later this evening though. It’s not a big deal, just a small puncture. I don’t think it will affect anything, but I’d like to patch it up to keep it from getting worse.

In that case, I’d still go with E6000 like you mentioned. If you can, tape up the front and apply the adhesive to the backside. Once it dries, you can remove the tape. That should give you a nice finish.

Wait, the inspection shop put a hole in your subwoofer’s surround? They should at least offer to replace the sub or the cone or surround and install it for you.

They’re pretending like it didn’t happen, so I’m not dealing with it. I’ll just try to fix it myself.
