I have split the cone on my subwofer can you repair it or should i just bin it.

It is a pioneer plastic type.

where has it split? if only a small tear in the cone then a bit of duct tape for now, if its torn at the interface of cone and flexible outer ring then bin

Epoxy resin (araldite) has worked very well for me in the past. But like MrLee said, it's hard to say without knowing more...

Hi here is the sub cone in question.

(Not mine but the same model)

The black line represent's the split.

I will give Epoxy resin (araldite) a go first if not i wil have to bin Them.

Dont have the money at the moment to buy new sub's.

Especially since i have done it to both of them.

Thank's for the advice.

Epoxy resin on the back of the cone (give it a bit of ruff up) apply in thin layers and then before the last layer is fully dry stick duct tape over it. and on the front strong clear tape. my old jbl was all cracked all over same plastic cone, still works fine
