I dont think gluing the lead to the cone is a very good idea.

Stop changin' your name, dude. I don't even know who the hell you are half the time...

Yes.

That's why I mentioned changing your name again. I didn't even know who you were.

audioholic; yes it is a very good idea. like when ya build a 10" sub with floating leads you glue(e6000) 1/4" of the lead up to the cone so you dont get spider slap, and felt a strip underside of the cone( pretty well know ask any other sub builder). you make the fix 1/2" from the cone, shrink tube it and e6000 it to the underside of the cone and go from there,it wil not break.

I understand trying to avoid slap, but gluing the leads to the cone means you will be asking the leads to flex, a lot, rapidly. You will get a lot more flex than if you dont glue it and get some slap at extreme excursion levels. More flex means quicker material fatigue and failure. I believe you most builders do it, Im just not confident its the best choice if product life is a concern.

best leads are sewn on.

whats the difference between gluing the lead to the back of the cone or making the lead come out of cone in a different spot, there is no difference.

im talking 1/2" difference.

just tring to help a guy out i have dont this on many subs such as reaudio's where they like to have the leadwire too short...

I'd say this is more of an opinion rather then a fact.

I was being dumb, I figured out the reason for gluing the lead as you suggest... it shifts the flex point away from the connection through the cone.

Sewn-in lead setups have their drawbacks, just like the other options.

^ rite such as 10" sub with sewn leads dosent work so good because of clearence with the 4 or 12 spoke basket. the cone ends up hitting the leads and weakening them. only subs i still use floating leadwire on...
