Subwoofer repair/replace...
I need to repair/replace one of the subs in our roadster... anyone have a pictorial on that process? I have a buzz in the passenger side speaker, and I might try to fix it...
The buzz is totally gone! The fix just takes some patience...not necessarily easy, but patience works. Find you a disposable camel brush, about 1/2 inch wide...cover the split in the foam with rubber cement applied by the brush. If the tear is long or goes across the foam, take a sheet of tissue paper and cover the tear after you apply the rubber cement, then put a layer on top. if at all possible, put rubber cement on the _back_ side of the foam, as well. Let dry for a few hours before pumping any sound through it. It's been a few weeks for me and I've had no problems. I am sorry I didn't take any photos when I did mine!
Awesome, thanks again for the writeup.

Careful when putting those subs back in, because you can bump it and it will come off....I lost a stud and had to order another.

I did take some pictures, will open a tread tonight. I am testing the speaker right now. I just wanted to try it out first, before giving any advice to somebody else
Subwoofer sounds as good as new and had been on for about 6 hours continuously right now.

Get an old speaker( same diameter as the subwoofer, I think it is 6" or 6.5) and peel off the spongy part slowly, using your nails...(takes about 10 minutes.)
Get a bottle of Rubber Cement from Hobby Lobby ($2.99)
rip off the broken one from the subwoofer and replace it with the new one.
wait for an hour or two and it is ready to go...
