Fellow Pi-ers,
The driver in question is an Em Delta Pro 15 and it's got two creases that form a rough triangle from surround to dust cover. It didn't rip, but you can see the cone is weakened and I'm afraid it'll flap itself to death under power. It's used as a midbass up to 1.6k or 1.8k and won't see much below 80 or so.

The cone sort of pulled itself back into shape after sitting for a while so it's not oval or anything, but when I push it in gently at the cone/dust cover joint you can see that the crease wants to flex.

Should I paint a couple of coats of thinned dammar just on the creases to bond the fibers together? Some other kind of goop? I've got some duct tape left over from the last time I did my sneakers...

Thanks in advance,
John
