i've been on that banana boat myself, punching a hole in the surround of one my MMATS Pro Series woofers. Boy, i was pissed, but i used liquid nails on it as recommended and it worked fine.

i doubt you will be able to send it back, but i WOULD NOT use super glue, it soaks in and makes a big hard area, there is a kind of 3m glue for window strips, it's a black adheasive, if you get a bit of this in from the back it works really well because it remains flexible, i have kids come into my shop ALL the time doing this with and without power tools, it's cool, speakers play fine with a small hole there, the only reason to even glue it is so it doesn't tear further and to hold presure, but look that up, i know most walmarts sell it in the automotive section, it's like 2 bucks, best of luck man

O.k., well, the proper solution would be to send it in to the company, not under warrenty, pay what they tell you to pay, and take it like a man.

Short of that, auex, do you have any suggestions to add?

I personnaly prefer the sensor safe RTV, as it remains flexible, but that's also on cheaper speakers. It's up to you what you want to do - send it or McGyver it.

I went out and purchased some black RTV sealent, I will attempt to apply the RTV on the bottom side of the surround.  I know that this is only a temporary repair, so I will contact Planet audio and make arrangements to repair the sub properly.  The RTV might hold but I still know that the surround has damage and that bothers me.  At least I have no one else to blame but myself, the last time I slipped the drill into a surround was on a 12" Nightstalker around 14 years ago.  Any one remember the Nightstalker subs?  I think they were made by G & S Designs but I am not positive.  Thanks everyone for all the replys I will give an update on the repair.
