I've never done it but I know a few who have and they say it's not really hard to do, you just have to be careful and watch what you're doing.

Good luck on it man and take pics if you can!

as much as i love it... car audio and what comes with it is pushing me to the verge of insanity. and i really just want to be done with it all.

the fuckin BTL isn't working right... and my trunk thats been broken for a while is now really fucked up... it will NOT open and my box and amp are stuck inside so while i'm trying to solve that problem i can't even see whats wrong with the sub...

last night i was out breaking it in and i was pushing it pretty hard for like 15 seconds and it cut out... so i checked everything and it was fine and after turning off the deck and putting it back on the bass was back.. but once i turn the volume up to a certain level again it just cuts out. i did hear some abnormal sounds from the woofer which sounded like coil rub but idk........ i'm really just lost in a big pile of BULLSHIT

so i just pushed up on the cone and the spider detached... so the epoxy must not have cured all the way.. go fuckin figure. and that must be the reasoning behind the coil rub... i also just got rid of the dust cap as well... so idk whether to put some shims in and just throw some more epoxy in there or if the whole shit is fucked up.. any help would be great..

Yup, shim it and sand the spider landing and where the spider connects to it, then reglue, put pressure on it, and wait 24 hours.

i finally got around to re-gluing the spider.. i haven't even bothered doing it since my trunk has been stuck shut since the day the woofer broke again... haha that was a very aggrivating day....

but the trunk is still stuck shut with my box, amp, and battery stuck inside.....but i am going to get it checked out today so it can finally be fixed.. hopefully today or by mid next week. oh and i just ordered the new dustcap from fixmyspeaker :)
