nathan89 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 I have an Alpine Type X 12'' that I bought off the internet, so I do not have a warranty. I was just wondering if there is anybody that can fix it, or sell me a recone kit? Do you guys think the only problem is the voice coil or is the whole woofer trashed? She was letting out a pretty large amount of smoke....but the cone still moves easily. Thanks! Quote
01xtreme Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 The burnt voice-coil fairy...lol. No, you would probably have to ship it back to alpine and have them look at it. I am almost 100% sure they dont do recones. Then just hope they can fix it, and not charge you an arm and a leg.

chatttown423 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 u might be able to call alpine and see how much they would charge to recone it, But if it was lettin out smoke its most likely burnt. Quote
nathan89 Posted October 19, 2007 Author Report Posted October 19, 2007 I have called Alpine myself and had my installer call them, and they will not touch it.....wont even let me pay to get it fixed.. Quote
Guest MegaloManiac Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 Nobody will touch the alpine. they are a bitch to fuck with. dam gay baskets and the way the whole sub was designed. Quote

So I guess the woofer is just a big, heavy, expensive paper weight now? LOL this sucks.... And I have no use for the custom box I had built that ran me another $300..... Quote
Guest MegaloManiac Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 yeah you are SOL. sorry Quote
Chris Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 Well you could always just try & fix it yourself, I've done that before with subs. Either that, or find a tank full of molten steel for you to toss it into, or just use it as a screw dish in the garage.

Guest MegaloManiac Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 thats thing you cant do it with the alpine. look at the way its designed, you can barely see the coils. everything is hidden crazy Quote
doughboi916 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Posted October 28, 2007 have a question, i have a 12in type r and gutted it, and i have a older RF HE recone, what will happen if i recone the type r with the Fosgate parts? i think the RF has the same size coil as the alpine did, will the sub last you think? im exited imma try it, ill be a custom sub.
