Subwoofer Foam Torn

I have a JL Audio 10w6v2 and the foam surrounding the sub is torn. I've read that "Gorilla Glue" or "Rubber Cement" is a great solution but I'm just looking for better options. Anyone have experience with this?

From: Nor Cal

Better option = Buy a new sub.

or

Pay almost the same price as the sub would normally cost new and have it sent to a speaker company and get it rebuilt.

Thats what I am trying to avoid. So no glue or foam kit can bring it back to life again?

The tear is basically around the whole sub. Parts express doesn't have a kit or jl audio

True. Forgot about JL being that type of company

Best best is to find some kinda glue or epoxy that will work with foam.

I think I even used some that was made for platic. Worked fine and is still holding up fine
