Sh!t don't you feel dumb when that happens? I know, I know you're supposed to cover the surround with your hand while your driving screws but I was in a hurry and all....anyways the drill slipped and put a small hole in the rubber surround...not a bad one at all...does anyone know a good fix for this? I thought about Krazy Glue but I heard some glues have an appetite for rubber and foam surrounds....so has anyone tried Krazy Glue on rubber? Any other suggestions would be great....I really don't wanna have to buy a new sub just because of a little friggin hole....man I suck....

All I ever did was: take a lil piece of elec tape, and put that on the back. Then smeared black rtv sealent onto the tear, smoothed it out with a q-tip. Once dried take tape off. You havto look close cause it's not that noticable.

HAHAHA! Oh my god how many times have I done that, Too many to count. DOnt worry about it it happens.
Silicone has a tendency to eat through some (mostly foam) surrounds so be careful what you put that on. On those type woofers there isnt a whole lot you can do. I suggest going all out and buying a surround repair kit. Prices arent that high if it is important to you.

slaps you silly... chris... I used black silicone then smeared it over the hole really thin and WA-LAH gone
