i just removed the grill from my Z-5500 subwoofer and i noticed this should i be any worried about it?

Yup. Same thing happened to an old Calibra 10" of mine. The tear slowly grows...
Can't say what causes it though.

 

[General_Chris]

what happended to yours did it just break down on you as my sub still works

the surround is torn. The sub will start to sound worse and worse, especially if it's in a sealed enclosure.

head over to parts express and pick up a driver surround repair kit of the proper size.

You can repair that? I thought it required a new driver entirely?

Edit: Well, I went over to parts express and found the video for surround replacement. Very cool. Thanks soloz!

Some silicone at a hardware shop would fix that up too, you would just have to apply it to both sides, and let cure before you use the sub.
