Subwoofer Hole Repair

As you can see in the picture above, a friend of mine has two 10" JL W3's, one of which that is wounded pretty badly. Neither of us really knew exactly how to fix it, or how it's SUPPOSED to be fixed, but saw hope in silicone!

We then proceeded to clean off the cone of the subwoofer and apply a layer of silicone that was said to be black (obviously not black), over the punctures. We know it looks like shit so there's no reason to tell us, but the sub now works and sounds A LOT better! However, the sub has less 'travel' than it's brother when it hits (most likely from the silicone), but both sound relatively the same. I would recommend using clear silicone, as well as using as little as possible for anyone looking to repair holes in speakers.
