    Those look like the dustcaps that were on my 921 woofers.

    I am curious to hear the answer to this also

    Too many issues for the money, or too much money considering the issues. Whichever way you want to look at it.

    Agreed, not to mention there's no VC vent.

    Dust caps and gaskets are an easy fix. A guy could do it his own bad self.
    Always baffles me why reconers get the wrong dust caps on.

    Long-time exposure to adhesive fumes?

    I once met a reconer who was so cognitively affected.
    Opinion is only as valid as its verifiable supporting evidence.
