I was ready to toss this speaker out until I heard this type of repair was even possible. Although very tedious and somewhat time consuming, it turned out great. Here's a few tips I found which were not part of the written instructions with the surround and slightly different than what I saw on video. The adhesive for the rubber surround seems like a type of rubber contact cement, not the vinly acetate type of white adhesive. There was no need to use the applicator stick supplied to smooth it out after applying a small bead. This adheisve skins over within 3-4 minutes and if you try to smooth it out, it just gets clumped up and not uniform. It's better to not smooth it out. When bonding the surround to the paper cone, it helps to support the back side of the cone with your finger as you continue pressing on the top of the surround. Do this around the edge for about 5-10 minutes as the adhesive gets more tacky and eventually it will stick.
