Level 5 sub clanking noise... recone time? Vid included

[kbsmoker]

Its just regular fiberglass resin. If I can find a picture of our old ones ill post up later. But if you got a chance run thru derricks build log on the teg and there should be a couple pics of the triple joint.

Or maybe someone else has pics...Cody?

I dont have any pics, but its basically just putting a coat of resin on the back of the cone to help reinforce it.

[kbsmoker]

Not the pic I wanted but the only one I could dig up fast. This one does not have resin on it, its the reason we had it put on.

Where my fingure is, is where you want to put a good bead all the way around it.

This is probably what your coil will look like, this sub had that clicking sound but played just fine.

Sorry Cody, I wasn't talking about the whole cone, just that joint.

Hmm.. do you mean CA glue? You can use 5min epoxy to glue the spiders down and some GOOP for the surround and dome.. All can be purchased at Lowes.

For Sure recone time, i was watching the video and if you stare at the glue joint on top you can see it moving more than the cone, its a broke neck joint. only fix is a recone

When rusty did derricks it was just below the spider not above, but we also had the old former before the stealth coils came out.

I would talk to rusty before you go ahead do it.

ahh okay, thank you kb!

rusty?! cj?! other dc reps?!

I dont think the resin will be necessary. I would be more concerned with clean power especially with 1 12k on 2 Level 5s. If you havent already, I would invest in a DD1 and CC1. You need to tune your amp with a 0db tone. You have more power than you really need and the 0db tone will be plenty and ensure the cleanest power that you can.
