Looks like the triple joint ring is in pieces there. Which can only result from an incredible amount of stress on the neck joint.

It has to be re-coned as that piece is below the spider - glued around the coil former.

If that was broken something needs to be addressed in the system - how much power and what size box ?

The box is a 2.25 ported and an audiopipe 1500 with the gain less than half way with bass boost off. and i was looking at it and the spider lead was broke on one of the pos. terminals.If you can fix it I will buy another so I can turn my amp up it sounded good while it lasted.

Too much excursion -- gain position does not tell us the power or even % of power coming from the amp.

In the end too much was applied to the driver in a relatively large box size (way too big for a 1500-watt amp), mechanical limits were exceeded, and the ring was shattered.

You will need a re-cone and I'd suggest a smaller enclosure if you plan to keep the amp / sub combo.

I tried it in a 1.6 box and it got hotter in that box I think Ill just run it at 2 ohms instead of 1 and eventually just get another and build a new box for 2.Just let me know what I gotta do to get it fixed.you can email me @ hunter12745@aim.com

Does the recone come with the triple joint ring?

[sundownz 197]

A re-cone kit is the cone, spider, coil, and triple joint ring glued together.
