I literally died inside when this happened. My drill slipped and went straight through the cone. I was really tired and it was late. I stopped and closed my eyes for a minute because i couldnt believe it happened.

thank you.
i have more photos coming of the gluing and repairing of the cone -
Sorry that had to happen to you as I'm sure every speaker builder or car audio DIY'er has done that before. I learned that lesson once installing a system for a friend. Damaged one of the subs and had to repair it.
The lesson is to mark your holes with the driver in. Take the driver out then drill, then put the driver in and use only a hand screwdriver.2.2 Office Setup | LG 29UB55 21:9 UltraWide | HP Probook 630 G8 | Dell Latitude | Cabasse Stream Amp 100 | Boston Acoustics VS 240 | AUDIORAX Desk Stands | Mirage Omni S8 sub1 | Mirage Omni S8 Sub2 -
