Bassessquared Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I have a soundqubed hds3-15. I just blew it the other day. I'm wanting to recone it. Am I able to recone it with an hdc3-15 cone kit. Will it hold up better? Or is it even possible. I don't need to know how to run my sub. I didn't intentionally blow it. My dumb a$$ friend did on accident and is paying for the cone kit. Any info will help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassessquared Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I had just built a new box and I was retuning it. I had my volume up where I listen to normally. I was tweaking things in and I went up front to put my headunit back to flat. While I was up front he decided to turn my gain all the way up. I doesn't know anything about speakers or car audio what so ever. It popped and that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 The HDS3 voice coil is different than the HDC3 voice coil. Yes they are both 3 inch diameter coils, but thats it. The winding heights for the wire on the voice coil are drastically different. The thickness of the 2 coils are drastically different. The gap in the HDC3 motor is much larger to allow a thicker coil that will handle more power than the gap in the motor of the HDS3. To put it simple the HDC3 coil will not even fit in the HDS3 gap without rubbing issues which will lead to failure.. Just because something says 3 inch coil doesnt mean they are all the same. There are different inner and outer dimensions of the coil, along with a different wire winding height. What maybe sold as a 3inch coil for one woofer is actually 2.94 inches, while another woofer with a 3inch coil maybe 3.11 inches or anywhere between, above, or lower.

Bassessquared Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Well I guess I'll either upgrade to the hdc3 or 2 hds3s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
