Dustcap issues w/recone

[garychurch84 127]

I can't get the dustcap to stay in place,what am I doing wrong? Rubberized glue didn't hold,CA didn't hold,5 min epoxy didn't hold.i ruffed the surface of dustcap w/emery cloth. Time to step back and punt!

Also the first two weeks after the recone I had to keep volume down my amp would protect on me. Now I can full tilt w/no issues,confused on that also.

You mean it didn't harden?

You used the spray with the ca glue? That stuff is usually crazy strong. . Where did you get the glue

Also the first two weeks after the recone I had to keep volume down my amp would protect on me. Now I can full tilt w/no issues,confused on that also.

 

The T/S parameters change (sometimes a lot) after the soft parts fully break in.  This will change the the impedance curve and thus your load presented to the amplifier will be different.

It didn't get mixed well is all I can think of.

Any luck with the dust cap?

[garychurch84 127]

nah..haven't gotten back around to it

when putting on a dust cap wear latex gloves.........

all you have to do is touch the sanded surface of the dust cap with oily/sweaty skin and it will come loose

 

before gluing wipe the cone surface with  99% Isopropyl as well as the dustcap before it is sanded

...they will never come loose

 

 

I also make a handle out of masking tape and stick it to the center of the dustcap so I have

something to hold on to when I drop it into place
