kickass audio Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 They sew them on just like how you were going to glue them on but you cannot sew them unless you have the ability to get to the top and bottom of that first spider on your sub if its a multiple spider sub. Manufacturers take the tinsel leads and give them some slack and then sew them on either every other or if they are overkill every rib. They sew the part of the rib that goes down like the valleys of the spider. Again do NOT attempt to do this if your sub has more than 1 spider on its suspension because if you do you will screw up your spiders and cause the sub to have horrible suspension since it will lack the ability to move like it should.

MACnonsence6 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 they make curved needles why couldnt i do it with the recone already in? then put a drop of ca glue that would leak under and glue the bottom as well Quote I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today.

kickass audio Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 You could do it but you have to make sure you didnt grab more than just the one spider thats at the top. The glue isnt really necessary. For most of the tinsels ive seen that were stitched they are stitched 3-4 times over eachother. So id do one pass and repeat it back and forth 3-4 times and then tie it all up nice to prevent it from loosening. You want a good amount of slack on the tinsel leads themselves too.

kickass audio Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 no, you stitch the valley/the low part of the rib. Stitching on the high part has a low success rate. Stitch it on where the rib looks like its going down to the motor of your sub or like if you were to pour a cup of water on your spider back, the water would be sitting in the lower area of the spider, not the higher part.

kickass audio Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Yea i hear ya on that. I had a few subs with lead slap and its annoying to all hell and made me think i was bottoming out the sub at very low power and it wasnt. I saw my mids from fosgate have the leads woven into the spider of my speaker but i wouldnt try that at all with a sub since they move so much more than a midrange speaker would.

kickass audio Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) You shouldnt be able to screw it up, just take your time and make it as tight as you can for where it forms around the tinsel itself and knot the string so it wont come apart. Also be careful to not rip the spider from going in and out a lot with the needle. edit: if you really want to be smart grab an old woofer if you have one that also has a single spider on it and try to sew the tinsel down on that one for practice.

MACnonsence6 Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 i have mad old woofers but there all being used lol im a bit of a old school colector. ima take my time and get it right. this sub needs to be reconed anyway because of that but hopefully thatll prolong it long enough for me to get the money to recone it wich brings me to another question. i have what i beleaive to be a pair of newer stlye re se motors on standered 12 spoke baskets. one reconed with a recone from fi but im not sure if that recone will work with the newer motors on 12spoke baskets as the new ones are on 4 or 6 spoke "dont remember" it has worked for the past 6 months or so ive had it but ive been wondering if i can stuff a 05 xxx recone in that motor. if so what benafits i get. like what would be better in the same aplication 1 stock re se d4 wired to 2ohms on an ap1800 or 1 re with maxed out options from fi running d2s wired to 1ohm?
