Is it possible to repair a torn surround of a sub?

I had an accident involving a screw, a drill and an almost brand new AudioBahn subb. If I can't repair it, it is not a big deal I'd like to get rid of that piece of sh*t but I would stil enjoy bass for the new couple of weeks or so.

Any help will be welcomed

Thank you guys

in the short term a thin film of silicon or other porous/rubbery compound may work..... avaiod anything that dries to a brittle finish like many glues, etc.

i've used "Liquid Tape" before in a real pinch......

I have had good luck with Permatex clear or black RTV silicone in a few cases. Got 1 kicker impulse 10" that I used that on about 5 years ago, and it is still working good with no air leaks in my sis-in-laws truck. I've also seen people use rubber cement with decent results. (is this what "liquid tape" is?)

Liquid Tape is a specific brand name of a compound made by GC. It is used to paint over PCB's that have had foils burned or where you have to scrape the paint insulator off a PCB. It dries to a rubbery finish and i've used it to patch holes in surrounds that occur when DIY'ers ram a screwdriver through a speaker.....
