Is this repairable? *PICS*

[j3bus2k3 5,000+ posts]

So after 2 years with ~500W apiece, my type-r's finally gave out. But I'm happy to say, that the coils didnt go. Rather the cone seperated from the surround (see pics below). Is there an easy way to repair them, or should I take the dive and get some new equipment? Thanks in advance.

They can be fixed, but why keep them when u can get some new ones for under 100 bux each

Thats what I thought after just reading through the recone tutorial. Where can it be picked up and how can I put adequate pressure on the surround to ensure a good 'connection' with the cone?

those look like the old type r's, i wouldn't bother fixing them, i would order the new 05' models if i were you.

I think that model of R was better than the newer.

CA glue and be had at any hobby store. Comes in thin/medium/thick consitancies. Ive used goop before when I had to do the same thing to my type r's. I just used goop and had to glue the surround to the basket.

yep any hobby store should have it, but i dont reconmend goop... you wouldnt want to change the way the speaker performs by adding weight to the cone.

Ohh no, They fell off the truck in England and were quickly shipped across the pond. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

I've heard one '05 12" R in the back of a Z and it was louder than hell but I still loved the way these sounded big and sealed.

Thats plan B. A friend of mine has one that isnt being used.

It was all I had on hand. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif The bottles of CA I had were solid as rocks from sitting so long. Even "crazy glue" will do pretty much the same thing, which can be picked up almost anywhere.
