What would cause this? Never really found out why not overpowering it does this every time I Olay low 30 Hz and below hate it that's where most music plays
first off those r the biggest leads i have seen.
i know what the problem is cause i have seen before. thn you get alot of excursion the leads are moving alot and vibration and alot of current cause it to burn. ca glue needs to be covered with e6000 to dampen the vibration or this is what happens.
I've never liked soldering leads under the cone even with a gap. It is asking for trouble, IMO.
If you order re-cones see if they can poke through the cone and solder up there; while of course leaving slack between the last tie down and the cone.
Something like this :

It would totally eliminate the mode of failure you have now.
Looks like clipping to me... how are your settings have you set them with dd1?
I don't really believe in the dd1 any more to ear it just dosent sound to my liking I turn the gain up to ear or I'm just unsatisfied but I don't clip the hell our of it it was all tuned pretty good when this all happened I'm not a fan of the way the tinsels were glued on to the fine so I'm hoping it all gets sorted out crossfire is in the process of addressing this issue so might have to wait it out usually I smoke woofers not have this happen the coil is fresh as hell still
Jake; see ya got a collar between the spider and cone and a db drive wd/t3 tss basket :)
Thanks for the input Jacob it a tough situation just gotta hope that fi builds a different recone for them where the tinsels are different and don't attach from the ca glue
Yessir, it was a T3 TSS I re-built with Z v.2 parts :)Quote:

There was some one asking if this would happen on smd and got flamed for probably 10-20 post.Quote:

and what looks like black smolder marks around the spider and voice coil former, just trying to help. OP try a dd1 or o-scope to make sure your not clipping at your current amplifier settings or songs you are listening to. plus there is more than enough lead from the last stitching so it sure wouldnt pull apart, it had to have heated up and separated, only can happen through over powering or clipping. i can tell you with 100% assurance this is not mechanical failure.
No this was for sure mechanical failure or just the way fi builds **** I kno a few people having the same issues I just wish the would switch up they way they do the tinsels its just not working out
I completely agree, either overpowering or clipping.. or both.Quote:
