You should just sell it to me for 20 dollars. shipped.



Well... considering you probably wont, lol.... all it looks like to me is a broken tinsel lead. Break out the soldering iron and go to work.

Yea, even though those Sundown can generally give 1750+ @ 1 ohm.

The sub would never see that though... you probably just clipped the hell out of it.

Yeah like i said i never checked to see if i was clipping it. I didnt have a DMM. So does anyone have a clue how to get a Recone from RD. i sent them an email inquireing about one?

Disregaurd what i said. Seem like too much powwwaaa burns up leads. I thought you might have just snapped them.

captain obvious pointed out your second statement, too.

bump Where can I get a recone for a RD Audio Alpha?

 

[jmanpc 5,000+ posts]

called RD yet?

 

[Wragold 10+ year member]

I sent them an e-mail when i first posted. they haven't Replied.

I'd be willing to be the majority of the people in here don't know what clipping is, and more importantly, why it hurts a sub.

Also, just solder those tinsel leads and you should be good to go, as long as you make a good connection. No need for a recone kit.

And finally, buy a DMM! You can get a cheap one that will do all you need for ~$20. If you can afford the hundreds of dollars on the rest of your setup, surely you can afford $20 for the DMM. If you need help setting your gains, just shoot me a PM.

At full bore clipping I have measured about 2200 watts from a 1500D... on a 2kw rated sub that still should not burn leads.

does that mean you can clip a sundown on a 2kw rms sub and not have problems? or will it still burn up the coils?

Steve is at NOPI today at the RD Audio booth, and he JUST left there about 45 min ago. Thats why you got no reply yet.

 

[Wragold 10+ year member]

Tomorrow im going to attempt to solder the tinsels together. any tips on how to do it?

 

[IgnoreMe 5,000+ posts]

i dont think soldering those is going to work.

There is different types of clipping, signal and and power clipping. Signal clipping is where you lose the tips of the waveform this is least destructive and has been proven really not to be a threat. Now power clipping or amplifier clipping is caused by not having enough input power, this is highly destructive, shooting straight DC voltage to the sub and because power flows negative to positive this is probably why both negatives are cashed...

Ok so no soldering?....So recone? If so the kind folks at RD have yet to reply to my email i sent the day my speaker died. What other choices do i have. I have to have this fixed before Nov.
