What caused this?


Recommended Posts

Since the leads have burnt free from the stitching, they've now managed to spend however long slapping up against the cone. Slapping continuously like that will eventually lead lead to a failure. In this case broken tinsels, and your best bet would end up being a redone. Honestly, your best bet would be to try your best to carefully stitch them back to the spider. It's not hard to clip, jut gotta be careful.

So are the clip lights not accurate on the audioque amps?

they are, but all in all, you shouldn't rely on the AQs clip light to know your not clipping.

pic with a better angle maybe? (where you can see the spider)

My friend runs the 3500.1d and has been told by DJ himself that the clip light actually comes on slightly before clipping actually happens. I wouldn't rely on it as the end all solution though. My buddy's real careful on his 18" XL's as far as the clip light goes. Maybe you could be overpowering them a bit and getting them warm? 1,100wrms per sub may be a tad much even or beefy level 3's. Lots of variables. Have you been smelling it at all?

no smell at all but there in a sealed box. I mean the pics not great but you can see the leads not dark at all and I got in there as much as i could and smelt the box and all around the leads didnt smell anything at all. Like I said to me it really looks like they ripped off. Rusty told me these subs will take this power all day as long as its clean. But I guess Ill set it a little lower and wait for my third sub to come so they will all be getting less power. But I will need to repair the leads so they dont keep hitting the cone. What type of glue should I use could I use silicone or the high temperature red silicone? or would a glue or epoxy work better?

yeah i have done something like that before but i guess the string they use to hold the crossfire leads down is made out of kevlar.

The leads dont look burnt to me IMO, i ran an audiopipe 3k to 2 level 3 10s, wilt lv4 coil and an extra spider, no issues what so ever,

I would say its just from excursion, put some felt on the cone, or glue them down, CA glue would work i think

I agree that it is an issue with the stitching as opposed to user error. I've heard many stories like this about DC before about this happening. I don't really see glue or epoxy holding up for a long time just because of heat and movement of the spider.
