A 2 mm gasket was too thin, 3 mm too thick. The 2.5 mm gasket should hopefully work.
It does! Finally no more leaks around the joints.
The constant disassembling and reassembling of the speaker makes for a temporary quick fix to the ensure an easier way to seal off the Frankenphantom while testing. The 3 mm flexible rubber foam gasket is reused as a sealing for the woofer.
To no-ones surprise a new problem has emerged. When crancking up the volume to about 50 while playing a 20Hz sine wave the woofer in the picture starts making noises again. The voice coil hits the magnet and I have to readjust it. That could be a time consuming task as I have no way of replicating the problem without assembling the speaker for every test. I suspect that's going to be quite annoying and really boring after just the first test and inevitable failure. Wish me luck.
