beat2deth Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Wow.. top plate came off. Not sure if its fixable probaly not unless you get a new motor and a recone. Probably be cheaper to buy a new sub well couldnt he just buy a motor and put the whole basket and cone assemply on it after removing the old top plate? No cause you have to bolt the basket to the motor and that's under the spiders that are ca glued to the basket. So he would haive to cut out spiders and take out cone and coil to do it ahh ok. well thats a bit of a downer. you just need a recone and a new motor... but should get another recone for the other, to make sure they match up, and not 1 being old and 1 being new..atleast, thats what i would do well buying a new motor and a recone, he might as well just buy a new sub. still cheaper to buy the motor and recone, than it would be to buy a new sub... baskets are still a decent price LOL shows how much i know about prices lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techaninna Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Just reglue the motor to the top plate. Recone both while you're at it.. I would suggest using an alignment tool while setting the motor onto the top plate. I apologize but where do you get an alignment tool? Is it made or bought? Again excuse my ignorance but I have no experience with rebuilding subs though I am interested in learning. Also what type of glue is used to glue the top plate to the magnet I wouldn't think CA glue but I could be wrong?

What do you think caused this? extreamly rare but it does happen. maybe see a couple a year. Its from the glue joint breaking between the top slug and the top plate.

STEvil Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Epoxy usually works. Alignment tool can be made out of aluminum, or you can build a make-shift one out of ratchet straps and some wood or steel. Just be careful if you macguyver it, you could break fingers.. and stuff..
