help with fixing a tear in the speaker [message #15426]

I have a pair of vintage Koss M/60 + bookshelf speakers that ive enjoyed over the years.

The problem is the speaker driver ripped and i need some help bonding it back together. The sound is unnoticeable at low volume but when i turn it up or the music has a lot of bass i can hear the air coming our of the ripped hole and it's very annoying. Is there any kind of special glue or tape so i can bond the rip together?

Thanks ahead of time.

Buy a surround kit and replace the surround. If the cone is torn and the damage is small, you can usually patch it with white glue. But you can't repair a foam surround that way. You'll need to replace the surround. They're inexpensive though.
