I was installing my planet audio FU15's and I slipped the drill and punched the surround.  It tore around 1/4" of the cloth surround.  I played the sub with only one amp driving the pair, it did not rattle.  Any ideas?  Should I send it to be rebuilt?  Glue? Thanks for any replys

Clear nail polish it or superglue. Whichever floats your boat.

They shouldnt warrenty a sub that was "physically abused" which is what that classifies as.

Planet audio strictly does not warranty punctured surrounds.  When they send back a warrantied sub they include a pamphlet on whats accepted and whats not. Your SOL for warranty.

I have used sensor safe RTV sealant (no harmful fumes) with success. I have heard that Liquid Nails works wonders. I have also seen rubber cement used, but I don't know if it lasted or if there are any harful fumes, or if it really even worked.

Dude, I feel your pain. You have to be careful with the power tools they can make a good day go bad.  I like using sheet metal screws with a hex head and use a nut driver to start them and then a 3/8 drive air rachet. I never have problems doing it this way.

I have used Liquid Nails on this type problem before. They make a clear type product that works good for "invisible" repairs.
