Posted May 17, 200520 yr Do you have to put it in the oven? Cuz the glue around that thing is super super hard like fiberglass, and i can't cut it off/
May 18, 200520 yr Author ^^^both.Trying to get the cone off, the coil is all messed up so i was like hmm, i can just buy one from partsexpress.
May 18, 200520 yr Might work, might not but try some dry ice on there.Let it sit and then see if the glue will crack off by hitting it
May 18, 200520 yr bad idea, just recone it properly.I love my recones I actually did break one at Daytona, and had 5min till next run, got that sucker swaped out in like 2min...it was awesome.
May 18, 200520 yr Author um, how do you recone it properly??I cut the surround piece of of the cone, now the cone is still attached to the spider and niether one seems to want to move.Thats what i'm saying how do you get it off?
May 18, 200520 yr oohh. assumjing that You have the recone parts: cut the spiders all the way around. Cut the coil leads as well. Pull the assembly out. You'll need to put ducttape or similar over the gap at this point, to make sure that nothing gets in there. Now grind, pry, scrape, cut, or dissolve the glue that is keeping the remaining bits of spider to the basket.
May 19, 200520 yr Author ok but the cone is still on thier? so bend it out of the way?and cutting off the spider, does that mean i need a new one as well.
May 19, 200520 yr I was just tthinking they'd send you a recone all in once peice. Like just re-glueing the surround to the basket.
May 19, 200520 yr Author well i dont have a recone kit coming in the mail. I was just going to try and replace the coil since that is the only thing messed up with the sub.

I was just going to try and replace the coil since that is the only thing messed up with the sub.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> you really, um... cant do that.call the company of your subwoofer. ask them for a recone kit. remove the ENTIRE cone\surround\spider\coil and mount it on your wall somewhere.take the new 'moving assembly' wich is an ENTIRE replacement, and glue it where it should go (if you dont center that coil, youll have to buy another one. not a happy prospect...

YOU CAN'T just "replace the coil"...NG
May 20, 200520 yr sorry, I'm with kickin audio... I assumed that You were actually reconing the woofer. Not just trying to replace the coil.Um, You would have to seperate all the pieces VERY carefully and cleanly (heat gun, CA dissolver, chisel) to get to the former itself. HUMONGOUS PITA.Recone the whole baby.-Nick
May 20, 200520 yr Author aw, i am smart, i learn somethin every day. lolNever tried to recone b4 though.Its a roadmaster after all.
May 20, 200520 yr this is everything that needs to be replaced:<{POST_SNAPBACK}>mmmhmmm...12MT, quad triple stiff spiders...I'll take a pick of the magnum assembly I just got if you wanna see another example NG
May 20, 200520 yr this is everything that needs to be replaced:mmmhmmm...12MT, quad triple stiff spiders...I'll take a pick of the magnum assembly I just got if you wanna see another example NGpics are always welcome
May 20, 200520 yr yes, yes it is. Well, You can keep the basket as well Unless You dont want to grind the spider & surround bits off of it, then You can order a new one of those as well.Notice, You'll need to solder in new VC lead wires as well. Alot of folks forget about that beforehand.-Nick
