fixing a sub for friend


Recommended Posts

My friend gave me his sub to look at and see if its fixable its a rf p2 its and 8 ohm svc model. Anyway he dropped it one day and it quit working. I pushed down on it and its rubbing really bad it hardly moves unless you push down hard. I think its coil rub can thia be fixed if not it will have to be trashed I don't think there are recones for it.

What size is it?

Cause I'm seeing recone kits for the P2 on ebay ranging from $12 to $22 depending on size.

If he dropped it, and now it rubs, I wonder if the basket or pole got bent or shifted somehow. Not sure if that an be fixed either. Someone more knowledgable will probably chime in :D

Damn, ebay only has recones for 8', 10', and 15' and the only 12' recone is for the Punch HE.

Is there anyway if I'm really careful cutting I can reuse the softparts after fixing the pole piece or is there anyway to take off the magnet without removing the softparts?

Once you disassemble, the existing soft parts will no longer be useable.

Once dropped, you most likely ended up with a bent frame or shifted motor. This may not be fixable by yourself.

P2s arent that expensive and its probably a more economical solution to just buy a new sub.

If you want to try and fix it just for fun, take a knife and start cutting the surround and spiders and pull out the cone/coil assembly so you can assess the damage. Then go from there.
