Phaeton Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 hey guys, i was wondering how i can take off the backplate on a subwoofer magnet, i have a bunch of magnets that i want to use on a custom subwoofer im building and i have no idea how to get the backplate off without wrecking the magnet and the basket. 1997 subaru legacy outback Four 15's in a almost wall Rockford Fosgate t2500-1bdcp Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on tweets Rockford Fosgate T400-4 on highs Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midrange Rockford Fosgate T400-2 on midbass Optima Yellow top batteries 270A Singer alt (working on a bracket for a second) Lots of Second Skin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Yes, its usually glued on with some sort of epoxy or other stronger glue. Thing is it will be a pain to get back on and centered correctly. Depending on the woofer the back plate and pole piece are usually one piece, some manufactures like Fi/AA bolt the pole piece to the back plate as well as glue though.The major thing here is if you start adding more magnets to the woofer is with every thick magnet slug you add it will make the pole piece of the woofer that much farther away from the top plate and can drastically hurt the woofers performance. Another thing worth noting is woofers are designed to have all the magnetic force at the top plate around the gap, and you can only saturate the steel top plate so much to the point that all the extra magnet saturation your trying to do will become a m0ot point, especially with the pole piece sitting much lower in the gap then how the woofer was designed by the factory. So hopefully your playing around with woofers that have literately no value to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
