I searched the web looking for a "how to" on fixing Tinsel leads and couldn't find one. So I made one myself and would like to share it with the car audio community. (I will be cross posting this "how to" other web sites.)
Don't throw that sub away just because the leads broke! Here's how to fix them.
Finding new leads can be a pain, and this is just a "how to" video. So I will just be using De soldering braid instead of replacement tinsel leads.
De soldering braid will work in place of real leads, but not for long. This can be a bit time consuming and will take some patience.
I'll use this old sub I had laying around for this.
Start by going around the dust cap with any tool that has a flat edge.
BE VERY CAREFUL!! Eventually the dust cap will begin to release it's self from the cone.
The 2 little black gobs of CA glue you see, are where the tinsel leads come through the cone and attatch to the voice coil leads.
Start at the top of each gob of CA glue. THAT'S AWAY FROM THE CENTER OF THE SPEAKER!
Begin working the CA glue away from the cone. It kinda peels up on Its own once you get it going. Go slow. Don't just go to town on it! The coil leads are very delicate.
You'll eventually begin to see the tinsel leads.
De-Solder the tinsel leads from the speaker terminals (If still attached lol)
At this point you have 2 options.
1) If your leads are not totally fried, I recommend leaving a portion of the original tinsel lead attached to the voice coil leads. Its a lot easier to solder your new leads to a portion of the old ones than straight to the coil leads them selves.
- In this case, pull the tinsel leads through the cone.
Then cut off all excess old tinsel lead ACCEPT for just enough to solder your new leads to.
2) Your leads are totally fried.
- In this case, continue to remove the remaining CA glue from the tinsel leads down towards the voice coil.
Be very careful at this point!!!
As you can see the voice coil leads are very thin, and can be broken very very very easily.
Ok now that you have removed the rest of the CA glue. De-solder the tinsel leads from the voice coil and remove them.
Then run your new leads through the cone.
Position them for soldering and cut to length.
Its time to solder all your connections.
DO NOT USE TOO MUCH SOLDER, THE LEADS WILL WICK UP THE SOLDER AND BECOME STIFF! fLEXIBILITY IS WHAT YOUR AFTER!
After you have done all your soldering.
Finish by covering your connections under the dust cap by replace the gobs of CA glue on them.
I just used a 2 part epoxy.
Clean off the excess old adhesive from the dust cap. A Dremmel tool with a sanding wheel comes in handy.
Then replace the dust cap with the same epoxy you used for the connections under the dust cap.
Install the sub back into your box, and enjoy!
I hope this helps people out there!
