no1singh123 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi there i have an 18" BTL the older style one with the tripple magnet and while taking out the whole system so i could design a new box i pulled out the sub from the old box and spotted that the spider on the btl was ripped in about 2-3 places 1 of them being a noticeable rip and the other 2 look like there about to rip and also i found out that where the spider is glued to the cone the spider was coming unglued in a few places. I wanted to know does this mean that i need a re-cone or is it salvageable, pictures are below, the pictures below are of the majour rip one Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meade916 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 looks like a manufacturer defect to me, call scott he might be able to work something out.

J00bles Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 i believe its $149 USD, but check with your people to be sure. AND, it couldnt hurt to try to fix it. you WILL need a recone in the future, so why not attempt to fix it a bit? polyurathane glues or something? 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 that is caused by over excursion btw Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duvanator Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 that is caused by over excursion btw not arguing just curious, i would have thought that it would have ripped the other direction, would have never though over excursion would cause it to rip that way. learned something new head unit - Panasonic MXE CQ-C7403U amp - Cerwin-Vega EXL 1200D subs - (x2) Cerwin Vega V-MAX 15.4 box - 5.8 ^3 at 32hz spkrs- Phoenix Gold Rsd Comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duvanator Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 would that be because the spider is a) not truly symmetrical, or b ) when glued in place it is just a fraction off ? so when it does reach the mechanical limits of the spider there is more stress on that focused spot? head unit - Panasonic MXE CQ-C7403U amp - Cerwin-Vega EXL 1200D subs - (x2) Cerwin Vega V-MAX 15.4 box - 5.8 ^3 at 32hz spkrs- Phoenix Gold Rsd Comps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
