dj00140 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Well I just fixed the stripped threads on my motor and took apart my sub and got some bigger bolts to hopefully hold the motor on a little better this time anyways I got the cone and spiders off and used acetone to get the remaining glue and surround off of the top of the basket. Now the spider landing is solid as a rock. I have managed to chisel away and pry most of it away with a plier, but there is still a 4-5mm layer of solid rock hard glue/spider on the spider landing. Have any of you guys ran into this? Can I just glue the spider over this? How much is a new basket from DC? If you have to pm me that I would appreciate it, because at this point I might have to get a new basket... Thanks in advance.

skittlesRgood Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) 8 0 grit flap disk on a grinder will take that off nicely. no need for a new basket just because of glue. keep grinding until you see silver. and no, you cant glue over the old glue.

Cashdollar2009 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 On both of my recones I used a wire-brush attachment on my power drill. Time consuming, but I had to improvise. :/ Quote 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier Two 12" DC Audio XL M2'sCrescendo Audio BC5500d Current Scores: 150+ out the Trunk On 6/30/2011 at 1:11 AM, 'Ray' said: Acoustical energy is free.

Cashdollar2009 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Exactly what I have used. Takes a little time. But i'd rather take my time than leave any residue.

dj00140 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Yes I agree. Now the recone should come with the coil spiders and cone pre-glued correct? I was quoted $XXX shipped for the recone, that seemed spendy to me but i've never bought a recone before? Any anyone know how much a new basket is just out of curiousity?

Cashdollar2009 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Take down the recone price. They like top keep it hush. And correct. You will get the cone, coil, and surround assembled. Just gotta center the coil in the gap, glue, then glue the dustcap. Solder leads. Not too bad.
