Thanks guys

Wrapping or painting the trunk trim?

It'll be wrapped, same as the interior mate.

So the old girl came home! smile.png

Took her for a bit of a drive seeing as I had her out, she got some attention that's for sure. And that's without people even knowing it has a stereo.

Got my panel/paint priced it too so I now have a plan of attack. The panelbeater loved it!

I'm so happy with how it sits.

And the front doors, fit perfect, plenty of room, can't wait for trim.

Thank you guys

Well I neglected the thread a little lately but things have been happening, reconed all my woofers with the PSI parts

Here's some pics and info

From where we left off with the stripped woofers

Drilling out the direct connection holes to suit the upgraded cables

Once that's done, we can clean everything with parts cleaner, especially the prepped surfaces for the glue

20141012_185524_zpsb87991e6.jpg

Blow the whole lot out with compressed air, make sure everything's completely clean and also DRY!! Being dry is important or it will destroy your shims

The new drop in soft parts assembly.

Check out how much beefier that coil is compared to the original

Shimming the coil is very very important. Use bright coloured material so you don't forget it's in there. I use big long pieces so you physically can't put the dust cap on without taking them out. You will need to experiment with different thicknesses to get your particular sub spot on.

Always always always test fit the recone into the sub before putting any glue on, check everything lines up, check it without the shim in place also for any scraping or rubbing.

Having the shim material nice and tall means you can roll the top into a cone shape and slowly lower the coil assembly down over the top. The shim should be nice and snug so it should sit firmly in place as you slowly lower it into positon.

Check everything.

20141012_190415_zpsd4e3cca4.jpg

Drop it down to the final position. Check for scraping again etc. Check the coil has no side to side movement, it should be tight, but not completely locked up. This may take a while to sort out how much material you need to use. Take your time and get it right. If you put too much in, you won't be able to pull it out afterwards and you may jam your gap with cardboard! Nobody wants cardboard in their gap.

The only scraping you should hear is smooth voicecoil bobbin on carboard.

Put your adhesive down. These PSI recones were supplied with two different types of adhesives. A flexible rubber cement for the surround to basket, and what they labeled as 'CA' glue, a quick drying solid adhesive for the spider to frame, which requires spraying with activator.

These adhesive were terrible to use. The supplied bottles were too large for how much product was inside making it too difficult to squeeze the adhesive out neatly. Put on a generous amount, not too much that it will squish out the sides and make a mess, but obviously enough to hold it together with 4000w in it's backside. I was not happy with the supplied glues by themselves so I optied to add something else as well for security.

Drop your assembly back down carefully and clamp it down!! Make sure you align the tinsel leads to the frame. Because once it's down, you're stuffed!

Be careful with the clamps that they don't push the surround or spiders out of alignment. Do them offset.

20141012_191714_zps9d4c2fa9.jpg

Give it a good 12 hours to cure and you can remove the clamps. I then proceeded to fill the void space in the surround and also the spider landing with Loctite 480 which is my favorite smile.png

It's great stuff to use and always comes out neat smile.png
