Pete Alcock Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm fed up of the sponge falling off the front of my small (home-built) subs. Simple box, perforated steel grill, 12mm acoustic foam for the front. Can I get it stay stuck on? Can I heck. Have tried industrial spray carpet glue, evostik, 3M craft spray mount etc. Anybody know how HK, D&B etc manage it? Thanks, Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 ... evostik, ...Which one? I'd probably go for '528'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Lewis Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Anybody know how HK, D&B etc manage it? 'Industrial size' Velcro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hughes Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Evo and Thixo may damage the foam. Industrial Velcro is the answer - I have it in stock - 24mm or 12mm wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogg Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 My HK's have the foam tucked underneath the grill each side which then slots into a grove that runs down the inside edge of the cab, this holds the side of the grille and the foam in and then there is a wood screw at the top and bottom of the cab that holds the middle of the grill in which also stops the edges popping out. I think there is also a ltitle bit of evo stick just to hold the foam on where it folds round the grille. Fogg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostlyharmless Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 http://www.directa.co.uk/site/scripts/prod...product_id=3013 As the first reply that google hits. This is assuming you are sticking the foam to a grille? Else velcro is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csg Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 another vote for velcro - im not keen on glue as it can reduce the transparency of the grille, and if / when the foam gets damage its a pain to change ive just finnished 4 21" subs, and have used velcro to attach the 10mm 10ppi reticulated foam to the grille, and it seems to be fine. not cheap though at a couple of quid a metre!
