9. Krok 9: Read instructions included with your adhesive, and move to a well-ventilated area prior to continuing. With the surround still in place upside down, carefully apply a small bead of adhesive to the innermost flange/lip of the surround. Use the bottle tip to evenly spread adhesive around the inner flange/lip as it is applied. Allow adhesive to breathe for a few seconds.

Apply adhesive all the way around the frame. Allow surround to fall into place on the frame.

14. Krok 14: Use your fingers to apply pressure evenly to the center of the cone. Listen for any rubbing or scratching sounds from the voice coil as the cone flexes in and out. Adjust the cone side to side until the cone can be manipulated all the way in and out without any rubbing.

YOU'RE DONE!!!
