jizazz12 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 hi, I'm reconing 4 15's for my new build, when removing the old suspension I noticed that these were built extremely well, It appears that epoxy was used on the spider landings and is proving to be a bitch to get off. What do you all use when encountering this? I have let them soak in acetone to no avail, I've been sanding and grinding for two days and just barely finished one. I know that there has got to be an easier way to get these cleaned up, if any of you have suggestions or have delt with this before I could use the help thanks. 2007 Chevy Impala LS 1 Crescendo 3KWP 1Crescendo C1000/4 2 DC lvl 4 15's with lvl5 dual .7 coils 1Audio Control Matrix 1 Pioneer P880PRS 1 300 amp Iraggi alt All power runs done with Knu flex 0/1 guage 1 optima yellow top under the hood 1 XS 5100 and two Deka's in the trunk 4 Crescendo MP-8 mid bass drivers 2 DB Drive p5 5 D Pro Audio tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I use a big chisel to chisel off most of it and then hit it with an angle grinder. If you can't get an angle grinder in there I'll use a Drexel to break the surface and the. Some 40 grit on an orbital to bust the rest off there. The angle grinder is easily the fastest THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

jizazz12 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah, I've been using a angle grider along with an attachment with 40 grit sand paper, it seems as the epoxy gets tacky and just sticks to the disc/paper. I was able to get most of it off, the only thing that doesn't seem to want to come of is in the crease of the landing. But I wasn't sure if the little bit that's left was going to give me problems when I go to seat the new soft parts. I have done a few subs in the past and have never had this problem. Usually it's just a beed of CA glue holding the spider on, these seem to have been saturated with the stuff. 2007 Chevy Impala LS 1 Crescendo 3KWP 1Crescendo C1000/4 2 DC lvl 4 15's with lvl5 dual .7 coils 1Audio Control Matrix 1 Pioneer P880PRS 1 300 amp Iraggi alt All power runs done with Knu flex 0/1 guage 1 optima yellow top under the hood 1 XS 5100 and two Deka's in the trunk 4 Crescendo MP-8 mid bass drivers 2 DB Drive p5 5 D Pro Audio tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jizazz12 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I think I'm going to pick up a Dremel maby that will get into the crease better, I seriously never have had such a hard time rebuilding a sub lol. 2007 Chevy Impala LS 1 Crescendo 3KWP 1Crescendo C1000/4 2 DC lvl 4 15's with lvl5 dual .7 coils 1Audio Control Matrix 1 Pioneer P880PRS 1 300 amp Iraggi alt All power runs done with Knu flex 0/1 guage 1 optima yellow top under the hood 1 XS 5100 and two Deka's in the trunk 4 Crescendo MP-8 mid bass drivers 2 DB Drive p5 5 D Pro Audio tweeters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
