It worked! The velodyne is back in business and sounding as good as before. We'll see how long it lasts. Play some movies tonight and stress it out a bit. Thanks again for the great tips!

Hey guys. I just completed the "band-aide" repair using the WeldBond. It looks great. Now I have to wait the 72hrs to hear it. [|-)] I get the point about having problems in time so I went ahead and ordered the new surround kit from Orange County Speaker Repair (www.speakerrepair.com) just in case. Cost me $36.90 with shipping to Wisconsin. Ordered code # 11-123-W-MC it says is for a 12" McIntosh but also lists my Velodyne VA 1215X model number taped to the speaker on the inside (Velodyne 71VA12). Now that I have it, hopefully I will never need it. If I don't need it, it was the best insurance payment I've ever made. Thanks again for the terriffic tips. I'll let you know when it's thumping again. Cheers!

Wow! I just had the same exact thing happen to my Velodyne VA 1215X. I stumbled upon this site during the search for how to repair. I will be going out today to pick up some weld bond. Thank you so much for the helpful posts. I'll let you know how things turn out.
