SGTSKIP Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Hey guys and that one chick. One of my JL Audio 15W3v2 subs spider decided that it wanted to come apart. What Glue would be the best to put her back together. I have Krazy Glue, and some Gorilla Glue 5 minute Epoxy [clear]. Is there something out there that is the better to use or go with what I have? Does this smell funny to you? Its your sister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadeTreeMechanic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Gluing it will buy you some time but it sounds like it might be unloading. Its hard to glue something that has to be flexible and still has to move. I have not done this before but I would almost use the CA glue that is used to glue the voice coil to the cone. Maybe someone that has done this will chime in. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGTSKIP Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm not in a hurry.....

Joe X Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 You likely need to fix your box / power level / subsonic filter setting before the 'twin' develops the same or some other issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 If it tore from the landing or fixed place, ca glue, if its torn in the middle of a ripple, on the spider, i would just run it till it died. Glue wont do anything but tear again on the glue edges. The spider moves,.. so glopping on some hard repair wont do anything. I would just not worry about it and run it till death. Just me.

SGTSKIP Posted March 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 it came apart on the edge..... no splits in the middle that I can see. It started to sound funny so I came home with the sub amps turned off. So CA Glue is what I should go get? Does this smell funny to you?

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 I would use a piece of cotton cord like what some companies use to strengthen the joint between the subs coil and cone, and CA glue it over the crack. This will give the two sides something to hold on to. Can you get a recone for it? Might be better off rebuilding it if you can. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knocker Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 The rubberized CA glue with activator kit for recones on the Fi website is a good one to use. It's one of the ones I've seen recommended over and over again and even by one of the admins on this page who knows his shit. I used it and it is very thick, easy to use, and strong as fuck. Just be careful not to use too much activator or it will bubble up. As others have said there may be other issues that are causing overexcursion which may need to be addressed.

ShadeTreeMechanic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Yeah, rubberized ca that's it. 91 C350 Centurion conversion ( Four Door One Ton Bronco) 250A Alternator (Second Alternator Coming Soon) G65 AGM Up Front / Two G31 AGM in Back Pioneer 80PRS CT Sounds AT125.2 / CT Sounds 6.5 Strato Pro component Front Stage CT Sounds AT125.2 / Lanzar Pro 8" coax w/compression horn tweeter Rear Fill FSD 5000D 1/2 ohm (SoundQubed 7k Coming Soon) Two HDS315 Four Qubes Each 34hz (Two HDC3.118 and New Box Coming Soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like your talking about Brian......Tell him, Kyle says hes a gigantic faggot Im just assuming whom your speaking of lol. Anyway, on the landings yup.... if its the spider itself, id do nothing and run it. It is kinda odd, that you heard a odd noise..... how big is the tear? I ran with 3 broken rear spider joints for a season and a half,, ... Never heard anything different, then again, my subs couldnt bottom out, maybe yours are.......
