tahoexfixssd Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 alrite so i bought these woofers from Brian Owens on CA awhile back and put them in my wall. They are 15" Fi BTL softparts with different motors. im not sure of what motors they are but they arent fi production. anyway i finally got everything hooked up on the Z2LV friday and then today i was driving at liek 1/4 volume and it made a horrible noise so i stopped and messed with it and noticed it was stiff. so i pulled it out and found that the bolts going into the motor have stripped out.. WTf do i do? i guess i can call Fi tomarrow but if i gotta get a new motor and a new recone and waht not on top of that thats gonna suck. it jsut really upset me ive been waitng all this time to get it hooked up and 2 days later... salt. hope it gets fixed before the 30th......any suggestions? lol WEDLING>haha as long as it holds/ works.

chewie Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 look like the nuts fell off.. cut out the voice coil/cone assembly and recenter the magnet on the basket and tighten it back down. then recone. thats about all you can do.

brewer_brewer Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) you might have scratched the fuck out of the voice coil. i would order a recone kit for it. tear it down and rebolt the basket down real good. then recone it.

brewer_brewer Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 either ask the guy you bought them from or send the soft parts into FI and tell them you need the exact thing but new. i use loc tite on the threads of basket screws and ca glue covering the heads of them so that this doesn't happen because it almost always means recone.

zfrerichs Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 if the holes in the motor are stripped out you need to have some one redrill holes and re tap them Quote Roseville, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewer_brewer Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 yea it really is. if the screws arent stripped out them sometimes you can put a screwdriver like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CB...L500_AA280_.jpg into the holes through the basket and tighten them back down. (will take forever though) lol Quote REFS http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/itrader.php?u=2026 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/44535-official-brewer-brewer-feedback/page__p__625998__hl__brewer__fromsearch__1entry625998 "you're not allowing natural selection to work, you're like the guy that invented the seatbelt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
