Chris Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 If it's just your tinsels, you can just re-solder them. Unless they ripped out from in the cone...

Unless they ripped out from in the cone... no they didnt rip from the cone jus from the spring terminal tops. if i re-solder them it seems as if there wont be enuf slack for them to move up and down as much.

roscoe1129 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Posted August 3, 2008 hard wire them with some speaker wire then you can take your longer leads and put them and your wire from the amp into the spring terminals together. just make sure you tape/ziptie the longer leads to the basket so they are not slapping on the spider or cone too much.
