audiofanaticz Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 These parts where bought for some problematicly built Fi BTL N3s that had issues from the get go. Pretty much drastic coil rub, even after drop in recones coil rub, but that made me aware of the issue and what was happening. Which was the parts being used on them made the whole assemble too tall, and required you to stretch the surrounds about 1/2 inch down to glue the surround to the basket landing which ended up making the nice half roll surround somewhat flattened out, and caused the woofer cone to only travel so far prior to the surround restricting it and pulling the coil back unevenly. Pretty crappy ordeal considering each woofer was $750, plus shipping, and only had about 21-25mm MAX linear excursion on such a high strength motor. There are a few ways to fix this problem on the 12inch models, some easier then others, but I took the beastly method at fixing the issue. So just a before and after pic, parts are just stuck together. Baskets removed. New baskets on. Gluing the collar, and then the spiders. Gluing and clamping the outer edges of the spider packs. Spider packs glued up. Gluing coil/spider assembly. One glued and clamped, time to start with the 2nd spider pack. The second spider pack glued down. The speaker terminals being used. Top wire is knukonceptz kolossus 4awg (slightly over sized compared to a real 4awg wire) had to trim a little bit of wire for it to fit. Bottom wire is old Stinger iirc 6awg, fits perfect with no trimming. soldering the tinsel leads to the terminals. Getting ready to glue the surrounds to the surround landings. Anyone interested in the finished pics of them sitting next to some Digital Design 9512's I recently reconed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACnonsence6 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 omg yes !!!! why not direct leads? I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha.

audiofanaticz Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Because wires are already ran in the box and is a pain to change, splicing another piece of wire together for direct leads is just a hassle, and well frankly you dont gain much if ANYTHING from direct leads. Also a lot of these parts (terminals, baskets, spiders) where bought about 4months ago, and now with the zv4 subs being released, I was finally able to get the cones we wanted when I bought the rest of the parts. Edit: Lets put it this way, look how small those 2 tiny lead out wires are on the voice coil that you solder your tinsels too. A terminal block, or direct leads, either way are no where near restrictive of those tiny lead wires that almost never have an issue with. So direct leads, they look cool, but they are added un-needed costs that does nothing but looks pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCaLBaMF Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Sucks that you wont be able to use the surround to its full extent though since the motor limits it 2004 Bagged Trailblazer (4)18" Sundown Nsv3s (4) Taramps HD10000s, Taramps DSP3000, Lanzar opti 250x2, AB 100x4 (2)DC power SP 270s, (14)XS Power d3100s, (1)d6500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
