Ok, well I folded down my seat today, just to check on my amp and subs, etc. I noticed a little black circle with an Image Dynamic logo on the ground of my trunk.... turns out the son of a gun blew off the sub.

What would be my best way to put/glue this thing back on... the sub still sounds fine with it off, just makes it look like a Cerwin Vega Stroker "eek"

You can get several industrial glues that are designed for applications like this, but you can also just use some of the gel type adhesives that cure very fast (work like super glue, but are thick), and it should work fine.

Just make sure of a couple things, if you use a runny glue, dont let it run back into the VC, and try not to get it everywhere. (thats why i recommend the gel type, it wont run, and is easier to work with)

i would just use a very strong contact cement. i wouldnt use anything that dries too hard because it might crack and the dust cap would fall off again....

Flying ID Dustcaps Never saw a mouse do that. JLW3 12's Were infamous for flying dustcaps. The hell with the glue just get a shocker or somethin.

Sell it on EBAY as a Stroker! you will get twice the money the woofer is worth (not putting down IDs, very nice woofers).

Or you could buy another Stroker, but then it would be out doing the other... so buy two Strokers.... ah crap you will need a bigger box as well. But hey its only money right?
