TheBetterMethod Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Yeah I meant a regular soldering iron. Try just melting the glue around each screw.

252chevyboyz Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Sorry for the crappy pics ya'll my this iPhone isnt very clear at all. Also I think that may work if I can find my soldering iron in the garage. What about the rest of the glue around the spider landing?

ChevyBoy95 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 looks like someone used screws to hold the spider down during gluing, and since that is the same basket as the VVX8, those are to hold down the spiders. On the vvx8 the spiders are spaced and the screws hold the spider down when gluing. So yes, you can remove them. but i cant suggest anything since i dont truly know how stiff they are.

TheBetterMethod Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 You can pry off the spider with a flat screw driver, or chisel. It should separate fairly cleanly. Check out YouTube to see how others recone subs. There are tons of helpful demonstrations.

252chevyboyz Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 I ordered this one from Jacob over at SA. Saw it on the yard sale thread and couldnt pass it up. So i guess that is how it is suppose to be? I cut most of the spider out and got the coil out but still havent gotten the screws out which I am researching now. I'm trying to find a good YouTube video to show how to do it. Here is what I have so far: The soldering gun wont get it quite hot enough to completely loosen up the glue around the screws but I am on YT now trying to find a vid that will me how to do this The screw with all the scuffs around it is the one I tried heating up to remove Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Do i have to put a whole new basket on when I recone it? I didnt think SA sent baskets with recones Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyBoy95 Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) baskets do no come with recones for 1. second, instead of going through all that trouble, i would just buy a new basket which arent expensive at all, and just take the basket that is on it right now off and trash it. edit: no you dont need a new basket to do a recone, you just need to clean the surfaces in which glue does down on to bare metal (shiny silver).

252chevyboyz Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Only reason I asked if they came with it was because the guy in the vid had one and didnt say if he payed for it but I thought you had to buy them separate. I was planning on using this basket if I could. I will have no trouble getting the area to glue the surround to nice and shiny but I cant get this spider glue off to save my life. the soldering gun just wont heat it up enough. I am thinking that the glue is either locktite 5min epoxy or CA glue. On all the youtube videos it seems like none of the woofers have all the glue around the spiders Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Anyone know the price of a new basket? I was trying to keep cost down cause I could buy a used working one for around 90-100 and wanted to have less than that is this one. I dont know why there would be such an excessive amount of glue on this woofer Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted September 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ok I got the basket off and got the push terminals off the basket. Can I soak the basket in something to remove the glue without stripping the black paint? Is there a way without taking a mini hand held torch to melt the glue off?
