matt14 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 A friend of mine bought some level 3 10's a couple of months ago and told me he was having some issues. He pulled out one of the subs and the lead has broke in half. He said it looked to short. I have my old cone here with the tingle leads still attachex. Could we just solder a extension piece to the lead?

big dee Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Were did it break at? The terminal or the cone? Or in the middle? I got a re sx 18 that I had issues with it coming unsoldered from the terminal, so I removed the terminals and soldered in 8gauge speaker wires. Worked perfect. But it depends were your broke if this would work on yours. Or does it allready have 8gauge wires?? Or terminals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt14 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Pics please Ill try and get some pics tommorrow. Were did it break at? The terminal or the cone? Or in the middle? I got a re sx 18 that I had issues with it coming unsoldered from the terminal, so I removed the terminals and soldered in 8gauge speaker wires. Worked perfect. But it depends were your broke if this would work on yours. Or does it allready have 8gauge wires?? Or terminals. Not 100% sure where it broke, from what he was telling me sounded like the middle. He said that you can see some burn marks on the basket. I have some R.F 8g laying around here somewhere and he may have some monster 8g. Ill have him come by timmorrow when he gets off of work or il go down to the shop and check it out.

big dee Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 If its broke in the middle I don't think that would do any good. If you solder a lead on it in the middle it would flap an make noise or break again. If its in the middle its not gonna be right no matter what you do. Could recone it. But I would try the repair first for sure. You might get lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big dee Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Or you can use a smaller gauge wire on it. The sub I fixed it was just right to fit in the holes were the terminal was. Just what ever works the best for that sub. Make sure you leave slack for the subs movement if you do run direct connect wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJD3 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'm voting it was clipped, and burned the tinsel. Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

matt402 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 (edited) I'm voting it was clipped, and burned the tinsel. X2. or a short maybe? Edited July 7, 2011 by matt402 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashdollar2009 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I would put money on this... The subwoofer was seeing a clipped musical signal thus heating up the tinsels allowing them to burn through the stitching attaching them to the spider. Through further abuse, the leads snapped due to heat and slapping off of the cone. Soldering could work. Looking into a recone and turning the gains down would be his best bet.
