I have some vinyl lifting on my rt800i.Any suggestions on how to fix this. A glue or something. Is there another coat I can put on the speaker if the vinyl is not salvageable?
Also I need spikes for these speakers. What is the width I need to look for?

    I would try some elmers glue. Maybe use some tape to hold it in place until it dries. If that don't work then I would try some contact cement. With contact cement you need to make sure it is where you want it before anything touches. When it makes contact thats it, there will be no moving it. You can get it apart but you will tear it in the process. I think parts express sell replacement vinyl but not sure how you apply it.

    On the lower half of one of the speaker the vinyl that wraps around the front face is peeling back. it might have shrunk as well because I dont think it wraps all the way back.
    and on the bottom board it is peeling back as well. i put some black electric tape on it to make it look pretty. I will see if I can get a pic for u guys.

    Also what size thread for the spikes on that speaker?
