Oh, the joy of failing!
The newly dented woofer was a nightmare to adjust. I believe the placement of the dent altered the voice of coil and it has taken a slightly not circular shape, in loss of better words. At adjustment number one too much I thought I had it. My Woofer Test Facility, short WTF, was running hot and Roon asked me if I really wanted to hear the 20hz test tone again. Here's an action picture of my tired WTF and a lot of clutter.
After nailing the adjustment, next on the menu was fitting the rubber sealings. A quick comparison with the original one made me believe the 3 mm cord would suffice. Here you can see glue and silicone in unholy matrimony.
I got impatient and removed the masking tape.
Bring on the other side!
I bought 2 meters of silicone gasket. Here's how much that was left after fixing both sides. Pure luck I had enough.
The rest of the the assembly was straight forward. The broken and glued woofer mount broke loose again, but apart from that detail everything was smoothish going.
Do you think 3mm was a bit too much?
In version 2.0 I'll definitely use 2mm gaskets. It's air tight with 3mm but the panel gap looks like the ones on a British car in the seventies, butt ugly.
