Doesn't fit. I'm pissed. I need a recone. I'm going to the bar.

Oh no you got to be kidding on that. I had to look at your profile didn't think you were old enough to go to a bar :D . Well in that case blow off more steam go to a nudie bar :girl_devil: . I'm setting a good example lol. What part was off so when I order I know what to look for?

Yea I'm 21. Going to be a senior in college this year too. I could use some big ole titties to get my mind off all this bullshit right now.

This big lip on the HO alt is obstructing the alt from going on and in turn causing the pulley to seize up due to pressure on its insides or torsion. So I need to grind it down and try again.

And my sub... My shitty solder job came off so I went to get direct leads done instead of push terminals. Well we tested the impedance of both sides which should have been 1ohm but one side said .2ohms. The coil was a nice honey gold color except for one spot close to the coil to tinsel lead connection where it was black. My guess is that when we did the recone one of the terminals broke so we had to solder it back on. We soldered it or a long time and applied a lot of heat. We think that the heating caused the resin stuff in the coil to become more brittle and yada yada. It's hard to tell what happened because it's only that one spot where it's bad. Gains were set right and I never took it above where gains were set. So I'm going to cry myself to sleep and get that alt ground down tomorrow at some point.

Wow that man that sucks hope it works out for you tomorrow. I have never done a recone so I would't have a clue. But that alt can they send the right case or is it a modify fit anyway. I think most have felt that way a time or two.

recone isn't too bad... it's just expensive as hell. After I get another recone I will have paid as much to own 2 lvl 4 12's

and as for the alt. It's not a common bracket that they use. I just need to get an angle grinder somewhere and grind it down. I don't have an angle grinder though so I will have to get creative with my cordless drill and put a grinding stone attachment on it and go for it

Didn't know that on recones never had a speaker that was reconeable I don't think anyway. Man that sucks there on the grinding part. Too bad you don't have a dremel that would make life easier.

Wow you weren't joking when you said you had bad luck. Sorry to hear about all this. Hope it changes for you soon! Keeping my fingers crossed for you buddy!

Yea thanks. It's constantly something else that goes wrong in the process of trying to fix something. But I may be able to get a free recone and I'll try to grind down that alt today and get it in again. I'll update when the alt goes in an that will be the only progress until I can get that sub fixed AGAIN.
