July 29, 201312 yr Author Got it playing and it blew 30 min laterThat's horrible! You didn't go ham on it right off the bat did you?Yep full tilt like did all my other subs. Never had a problem before.I personally would not go balls out until at least a couple hours play time to loosen the suspension a bit. Out of curiosity though where was the failure at?I think the coil unraveled, when I press down on the cone it barely moves and I can hear scratching. My other coil was still working when I reconed it. Only reason I recone it was because when I bought it the cap was lose and I put goop and the original glue on different places on the cap coming loose so I put more goop on it till it just became an eye sore.
July 29, 201312 yr Letting it break in won't make it anymore abuse tolerant. Seriously? Ok, everything i've heard about stiff spiders not allowing full xmax which entails less coil travel which builds up heat which unravels coils is all wrong. Sure it might not be by much, but I've seen a frequency response drop from 37 to 33 hz after a breakin period ( sure there are other factors since the enclosure was tuned @ 31hz and cabin gain and all). It doesn't take long as a few weeks, but I still wouldn't go full throttle on a brand spanking new recone.

I can definitely understand why you would recone. You keep your ride clean. Sucky situation for sure. Hope you get it back up and going!
July 30, 201312 yr Looks like Zv3 parts. Tuned in.Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw it, also the black ring(what ever you call it) on the former says Sundown Audio on it too.triple joint ring or collar. Those are actually really good parts imo. Nice progress man.
