screws are usually good... in the holes they provide. Other than that, some double sided tape around the back of the mounting face works.

yeah, don't use adhesives of any sort... it'll void your warranty and the chemicals involved may have an adverse effect on your sub.

dude... don't use double sided tape... just use no more gaps... take sub out and get those fingeres dirty...... i've been building PA speakers for years... thats the way i've always done it and it's never failed... $2 from bunnings!!!

use speaker sealant from Jaycar (cat# CF-2762) comes in 2metre roll, non-hardning, perfect to run around speaker edge without making a mess Click Here For Info (http://www1.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=CF2762&CATID=&keywords=speaker+sealant&SPECIAL=&form=KEYWORD&ProdCodeOnly=&Keyword1=xxxxxxxxxx&Keyword2=xxxxxxxxxx&pageNumber=&priceMin=&priceMax=&SUBCATID=) Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what Morgz85 said that stuff's ok, but if u use silicone i hope that you have enought cash for a new sub cause the fumes off silicone sealer actuall slowly eat away the rubber/foam surround on your sub. Ads
