It would be best to replace the speaker, as the crack is going to get bigger. Usually when a speaker cracks it is because of two things: It is old and the paper has become brittle or you have been over running the amps power section by using to much volume and cliping it. Speakers run anywhere from $50-$100.00, depending on where you buy it. What kind of speaker is in it now and how many watts is the amp?

You can repair it with some heavy paper, like a thick brown paper sack is made of, and elmers glue till you can replace it. This type of repair will not hold for very long though. If the crack is in an arch or curved, make the paper the same to match it. Cut the paper wide and lond enough to over lap the crack by 1/2 inch or so and glue it to the speaker. Let it dry over night and see how good (if) it works the next day. And replace the speaker soon!!!!

: I have a 2 inch long crack(ha ha) at the perimerter of the speaker of my peavey 112. What could i use to seal it? Would super glue work? How much would a new speaker cost? Thank you
