Project Save-A-Sub

So I was given this JL 10" Sub by my mechanic. I wanted to see if I could save it and use it in my other car and upgrade the sub I have in there now... So I bought a re-foam kit, and got to it... Let me know what you think.

I noticed that too, but for how squishy the surrounds are on those things, I wouldn't worry about it.

if you've glued anything before, with a little patience and time, this is a really easy project. Bought two cheap JL's just like that a while ago and the second I started using them the foam ripped on both. Most kits will come with everything you need (surrounds, instructions, glue, applicator brush)
