Any way to repair cracked rubber that surrounds the MW6503 Woofer for My Monitor 10? Maybe Silicone?

Also, would it be wrong to replace it with a MW6502 from a 5jr?

    Gasket silicon from a autoparts store will fix i and keep it air tight.. Put it in from the back side that way it won't look to bad..

    Liquid electrical tape works wonders. I've used it on my old Yamaha motorcycle to repair small cracks and pin holes on rubber diaphragms in the carbs. Don't see why it wouldn't work on speakers. :smile:
