Posted May 29, 201510 yr 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.

May 29, 201510 yr You used the spray with the ca glue? That stuff is usually crazy strong. . Where did you get the glue

May 30, 201510 yr 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.

June 1, 201510 yr 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 havesomething to hold on to when I drop it into place
