*PICS* did I recieve the recone I orderred??

[CoilBurner]

Hey guys, my first ever recone of a subwoofer here, I blew my HDC318 copper coil a few months back and decided to get a recone for it. Im not quite sure if this recone is for me or not though, but Ive never done a recone and im not entirely sure what I have here.

I was told I was getting

"The coil is a flat wound alum coils with a stainless steel former and has a WW of 2.3" You will pretty much have LVL5 soft parts and coil in them, so they will take what you fell comfortable throwing at them""

Like I said Ive just never see the inards of a subwoofer but Ive got a few questions.

Comparing this new recone coil to my old one, the ORIGINAL coil had an OD of 3.393" measuring the outside of the coil, this new coil is 3.246, quite a bit thinner:eyebrow:

.

ALso appears to be copper to me but maybe thats the way aluminum looks when treated??

I also measured the coil height of the new recone, the height of the coil windings and my new recone measures in @ 1.7", and the old recone measures in a 2.1" area. Was I told this part was going to be 2.3"?? I dont know what the term WW he used meant

I also have concerns with gaps, but I dont know how much room Im supposed to have.

Hope someone can clear this up for me thanks!

checks out good to me, i like the recone though, ill buy it off you if you don't want it, or doesnt work.

Its aluminum??

Im unsure if its 8 layers, being it has such a smaller overall diameter, by looking at it, I only count 5 layers, but I dont know if you can just count the stacks lol. The 1.7" height is correct?? Im curious what he meant by 2.3" WW

Im no expert, but someone else will come here and answer your question with facts. Just wait later, because its night and no one is on really.

pretty sure WW stands for Winding Widths.

And its maybe aluminum.

my question is, does it fit the hdc18 motor?

 

[CoilBurner]

so it should measure 2.3" where its actually 1.7"?? (being as he told me it would have a 2.3" WW)

It does fit my motor and basket good, theres a fairly big gap but I dont know how big exactly, the spider and cone landing looked good though, and they lined up when I dropped the recone down

Im just trying to make sure I got what I orderred, since I waited 6 weeks longer than expected, and the order was missing a few things.

Now I kinda suspect I got rushed and Im not quite sure I got what I was originally quoted for.

looks like a lvl 5 coil to me. I bet I know where these came from

 

[SPLaudio 5,000+ posts]

that is a 4 layer coil, also looks to be copper coil and a alum former.

 

[SPLaudio 5,000+ posts]

it could be a 8layer just hard to tell in the pix.

Either that former is stainless, or really scratched up aluminum. That coil looks like all the VCs ive ever seen, which is presumably copper.

it doesnt look right to me...

Why not just call the guy you ordered from and ask......90% of the people here are not going to know any more than you, and are gonna throw shiat out there....they could be right, they more than likely are wrong.

But what we can tell you is, without a doubt, this guy has a tiny dick. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif
