Homemade Super-Neo Woofer: THE CHEVELLE RESTORATION IS DONE, dampener recommendations??

[Dwn4BassAlan]

alrighty guys, it's all ready to go, and I'm sure you've been dying to see it. As you can expect, my teacher was in shock. It was ironic because he was showing us this neat trick by putting 2 copper coil solenoids near each other connected to speakers then using an iphone connected to them to play music. He was directly explaining how it worked to me and everything, I was like "oh, I know how a speakers voice coil works, trust me" Then blamo, we went over and powered it up and that thing BUMPED the whole room. He even took a video of it, which he never does for anything......so I can say the A+ is assured................

Ok, I'm gonna go shoot the video now, then upload it. I'm already working on V.2 so I'll give it a quick demo as is now, before I upgrade.

Here's some final pics too:

Seriously considering it LOL

In for the bike tube surround, if you find a tube that the diamter is the same as the diameter of th cone you would be in business, and all you would have to do is split the tube down its circumference.

I know man, I can't find any this small though, needs to be about 12"-13"inch diameter, but the MAIN problem is attaching it. gluing rubber to the cone is veryyyyy difficult.

I'll have to go buy some specialty glue/caulking/silicone probably, because hot glue and super glue have not worked out well.......

CA won't work? Rubber cement like you get in tire repair kits? What if you take some 40grit or 60grit ROUGH sand paper and score the surface of the cone that you are gluing too. What is your budget for a tube, I know they make tubes that small.

CA glue you mean? I'm not sure I haven't tried it. I tried super-glue, gorilla glue, hot glue, and some glue tube my boss gave me. But they all peeled off, so I need to find a way to clamp the rubber to the cone and I believe that some locktite PL would do the trick if I could get it to clamp for about 30 hours.

12.5" tube.

You could get hd tube for mini mx bikes too.

I would use some rough sand paper on the cone, maybe there is a coating you can't see or you just need to rough it up to get some good adhesion. I wouldn't go for the loctite, you need something that really bonds with the rubber. I would try rubber cement honestly, idk though..just spitting ideas out.

Yea I planned on using some 38 grit, but I'll go to home depot and check out what they have for rubbers, see what looks best. But have you ever tried locktite PL? Once it dries, it's like a rock. It spreads like caulking but once it dries it's not rubbery. It's hard to explain, it's like a flexible rock almost......which sounds stupid as I say it, but that's the best way to describe it. But I'll see what faster drying stuff they have first.

P.S the video is about 5 minutes from done guys.

Sorry about that, I edited some info? but I don't see why that would change it. either way I just re-linked it, try it out now and let me know.
