    Help!! Surround Membrane has lifted

    I've just completed my boxes for the KIT 281s with a front baffle of 1.5 inches. The scews provided weren't long enough so I had to get different screws. Low and behold the the screw heads are a little larger. Some of the screws lifted a little of the surround membrane when I mounted the raw speakers. Is this of concern? And also what will the long term effect be if any? Haven't fired them up yet. Help!!! a newbie at the DIY speaker building process. Have a great day.

    If it's just a small amount of the surround then probably no real damage done.

    Without removing and regluing the surround there probably isn't a fix.

    I'd just use them and see what happens.

      Thanks for your reply Thomas. I did manage to find some small washers to go under the screw head to help keep the membrane down. See how it goes. Hopefully tonight will be the night of firing up those big babies. Thanks again.
