AI James Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 its because the spider is at its limit in stretching and your power/tuning is forcing it to go more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 basicly, with mine, my box was too big. so it would get a shit ton of excursion, and the 15 burps i had on that sub ripped the spider from the cone,i'll get a pic so u can see mine, its a lil diff. but it is similer. but i'd get a recone. what was the power u put to the sub and how big of box tunned to what?

newls1 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 Did you happen to notice that driver sounding weird at all, or NO? I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 here is mine, only thing that held cone to spider was tinsle leads till they ripped out the stiches that was used to sew them down Bills KwB Team DC Audio Midwest captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1singh123 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 i have a t30001bd which powered the btl and the infrasonic filter was set to on so i would of thought that would protect the sub from playing below tuning . the box was tuned to 32hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no1singh123 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Did you happen to notice that driver sounding weird at all, or NO? the only thing i noticed was a drop in output from the sub but sometimes it would work normally and lose no output and thats why i decided to take out and see if there was any lose connections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E a r t h Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 if i had to guess id say its the tinsels putting pressure on the under side of the spider during downward excursion causing the tear. i.e. kind of like tearing a piece of paper straight on the edge of a table or something. thats my story and im sticking to it!

BITLD Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Its abuse, no manufactuer defect there, I promise you that. I've already spoken to the OP but I guess he wanted to ask the forum folks first. We've seen it happen before when people play way under tuning for sustained periods of time. Thats one hell of a motor on a BTL, the force isn't going get weaker as the frequency goes lower down the scale. For a 32Hz tuning I would run the subsonic @ 29Hz. We'll get you reconed up ASAP. www.BladeICE.com UK/European Distributors Ascendant Audio Fi Car Audio XS Power KnuKonceptz.co.uk Facebook Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDMstang65 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 looks like a manufacturer defect to me, call scott he might be able to work something out. When i think non-warranty, i think abuse, thats not abuse. No..that's abuse. It happens when you play severely under tuning..the spiders will pop like a potato chip. Already spoke to him about it...
