Cashdollar2009 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) I just took my new level 4xl out of my first box to put into my new one and saw that the one sides leads are all effed up! What happened? Was it getting too hot? I don't know how reliable it is to use it in competition next weekend... Help! Both leads from that side are effed, the other side is fine...

cthedinger Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 do you have dual tensil leads to each push terminal? or just one tensil lead going to each terminal?

kandiman71874 Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 What you have there my friend is a case of severe clipping that sent dirty ass power to your sub. This is exactly why everyone always says to set your gains with an o-scope...

Cashdollar2009 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 do you have dual tensil leads to each push terminal? or just one tensil lead going to each terminal? Dual tinsel leads to each terminal. So the four on the one side are messed up, the four on the other are fine.

Andrew2944r Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Look right above the tensil pad and you can see where it has been slapping the cone. Quote Team Ampere Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthedinger Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 yeah on my old lvl 4 i blew one tensil lead because i was sending to much power threw it or something like that i can remember what rusty said exactly went wrong, but you are probably going to need a recone, unless you have some extra tensil lead wire and are amazing with a soldering iron.

I see... Well, I have the first competition of the season next weekend, i guess I'll have to see if she holds out and baby her until then. I'm no master solderer or have spare leads laying around. I've been real careful with it in the 4 weeks of ownership. I guess after discovering Bigpimpin's Let My Beat Pound last week i've been a bit antsy with the bass knob. So you're thinking recone in the future is about my only option?

Cashdollar2009 Posted April 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Is there any quick temporary fix i can do before i put it in the new box? And any estimation on life left on this thing?

I'm not sure what the terms for the parts of the tinsel lead are but basically the jacket over the inner part is what is frayed between terminals and into the basket. The inner part is still held pretty strong, the fraying just through up a ton of red flags... I don't know if that makes a difference in your diagnostics or not. So, was this more of a clipped signal, rough break in, or playing low low music type of thing if you had to take a guess?
