STEvil Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Who does this for their entire (or mostly entire..) product lineup? Reason i'm asking is i've had magnets lose alignment due to large jolts and i'm looking to avoid this in the future. If at all possible I will no longer be purchasing from manufacturers who only glue the motor/magnet structure in place..

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

mrafrica Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 sundown, dc, fi, dd, atomic, alot of companys. ive had a vr3 xtreme sub from walmart have a bolt on magnet. it depends on subwoofer line with some companys too. i have some fosgate the punch subs that are glue/ riveted together. but i know some of the other punch subs have bolted on magnets. just gotta do research. Quote And far as the best connection ever....... get a huge fucking battery, cut the top off, drop an alt in there and then pour all that into your big amplifier. or just smelt them all together.

HHR Ed Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Do you mean the basket being mounted to the motor? If so, we always bolt baskets to motors. Or are you talking about magnet slugs, back plates and top plates? If so, 98% of motors made are just glued. But the way they are glued, you can whack em with a sledge hammer and not dislodge them.

Slugs and plates. I've had 3 subs shift the magnets now. First was a cliffe designs 15 (MA Audio rebadge, had decent parts in it), second was an Earthquake dbxi 15, and just a while ago an 18" Fi Q.. I'm not expecting indestructible but they gotta withstand some offroad action..

HHR Ed Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ive never seen the slugs come apart that easy. And I've had to dismantle motors before. Sometimes have to geat up the glue and whack em with a mallet, still a no go. lol Quote Ed Lester ShowtimeSPL Host Showtime Electronics Video MarketingMy old Build Loghttp://www.stevemead...08/#entry511451http://www.youtube.com/showtimespl 5 time dB Drag Finalist Last ride 2007 HHR, current dB 153.5 and bass race 149.4 dB. 153.0 dB on music New Ride, 2008 HHR SS.

Ford302Redneck Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I've never heard of many subs this happening to, and you have three? I've seen the pole shift before but not to much other than that. I know Memphis has a bolted magnet structure but this is for the basket not to hold the magnet together. My question is what are you doing for this to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is what are you doing for this to happen? Off-road was the cause of two failures, the other got dropped (and inch maybe) when pulling it out of a flush-mount.

kirill007 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The SMD is bolted... But that is probably out of you're price range , or you don't have enough room for it Quote Thinking is the root of all problems... You ALWAYS get what you pay for.

STEvil Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Room isnt an issue if its bolted really. I was actually thinking of going to an SMD but 10KW may be too much for one Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..."
