Forevrbumpn Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 (edited) I use engine RTV gasket glue for the surrounds and dome (as long as its foam surrounds), clamp it down, and wait over night for the spider most people here will tell you CA- its fast..... When I worked at the speaker shop, this is what we used, and there is no breaking this stuff away, and that is the only draw back- reconing again, you need to use a really straight hard flat blade to break away the epoxy http://www.servcorponline.com/3m-scotchwel...p420-b3420.html Edited November 29, 2008 by Forevrbumpn Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

reinke Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 cut a ring out of mdf and use some clamps Quote ----reference's---- meade916 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevrbumpn Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 ^^^ exactly, cut a ring or 2, and mount subwoofer upside down while it dries the weight of the motor is perfect for getting that glue bead down flat, and perfect Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".

Bills Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 ok, sweet. so sorry for thread jacking this Alpine. haha. so all you do when you recone is get old cone out, then when everything is removed form old surround, spider, and tinsle lead, you put the new cone in/on, clue surround, glue dust cap, glue spider, and then solder the tinsle leads?

Forevrbumpn Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 pretty much 1) tear down 2) clean all glue surfaces where surround and spiders lay flat 3) clean motor gap usually with a coffee stir stick and some double sided tape wrapped around it- possible some acetone to clean up burned coil debris 4) shim coil with proper shim, not toilet paper roll... lol 5) lay down glue for spider, and surround, mount re cone kit - clamp spider with either waxed MDF rings- 2 piece, and flip woofer upside down so the surround can dry solder when dried test, then dome Quote I have a ritual called "terminator".
