Shouldn't be too difficult, just be careful, especially if the gasket is sticky. So SVS say anything particular about why this qualified for a warranty replacement? Was it a performance or aesthetic thing?

One said off gassing, the other said it was talc and another said something was coming off on the rubber surround. I think about buying another Massive Subwoofer.But which company should I choose?JL Audio seems to have some problems too.

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,872 0 113 Oakridge, OR Feb 16, 2024 #80 As to not having a driver doing this at all....yah, can see why a replacement would be interesting while warranty is still in place as to why it's happening let alone what it might do in the long run. Glad SVS stepped up.
