semtex Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I received my 12” Level 3 and was super excited when I opened it up. It is an amazing looking sub. However, once I pulled it out of the box, I saw that the braided wires (tinsel leads??) that connect to the terminals were disconnected on both sides (both terminals). Is this normal? And if so, is it something I can fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.p Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 easy fix man. send it back to rusty, or fix it yourself... shove the tinsels through the small holes in the tabs, then solder them....take you all of 10 minutes Quote DCAUDIO BALLS DEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Call them. That ain't right. Im sure Rusty and the guys at DC will make it right. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reilly Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 No, that's not normal. It looks like someone forgot to solder the tinsels in. I'd contact DC to see how they want you to handle it. It is fairly easy to do yourself if you have a solder gun. Maybe someone on here lives near you and can do it for you easier than sending the speaker back.

Dumb questions I know, but having never worked with on a braided wire like that, I dont want to mess anyting up. I've soldered plenty before so I think I'll do it myself if thats all it is.

audiogod9000 Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) O_o wow, Did you buy it new? if so it lookz like one of the guyz at DC didn't solder the lead on. Simple mistake, it just got by them in inspection. Just solder it on if your good with a soldering iron. Edit: Dang!! are yall ninjas up there? posted the answer before i could.
