scott got back with me, needed a zip. im waitin on a price. and yes i think it would affect performance, since the sub has a hole in the back of the magnet that goes up to the dust cap
it wont effect your performance but you can kiss that sub goodbye if you get any crap in there , did you manage to get the peice that broke out the sub ?
new dust cap is like 10.50 shipped. and no i havent got that piece out yet. when the new cap get hear im gonna break a bigger hole with plyers then get the broke piece out

Use a heat gun (carefully!) to get the old one off. Don't gay, fuck, dick or stupid up a good sub with garbage fucking work done on it. It is way easier than you think. It's just a dust cap. What adhesive are you going to use for the new one?
I JUST RE-CONED A OLDER KICKER CVR,IT WAS VERY EASY BUT I THINK BECAUSE IT WAS A PLASTIC LIKE SPEAKER(AND THE SAME WITH THE DUST CAP).I USED A RAZOR TO OPEN THE CAP AROUND THE SEAL VERY CAREFULLY,TO MAKE SURE I DIDNT CUT THREW THE SPEAKER.THEN I USED THAT BLUE SHIT-RTV,LET SIT FOR ABOUT 15 MIN.THEN HOOKED IT UP WORKS PERFECT.MY WIFE HAS IT IN HER CAR AND HAS BEEN USING IT FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS,AND YOU CANT EVEN TELL ITS BEEN DONE.
Replace damaged or aging dust caps with these high grade units. They are available in four different sizes to accommodate 5-1/4" to 18" woofers. Your choice of either paper or polymer dust cap material. Use speaker repair glue for paper cones or super glue gel for poly cones.
parts express sells the glue you need. exacto knife to take the old one off. or at least on most subs I've seen.
I dont know why they even make subs with seperate dust caps anymore, the solobarics with the solid cone/dust cap were the best looking subs ever, and you could throw stuff at the cone and not hurt it..
