[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7173821, member: 629234"] um, no, it's not best to send my drivers to "someone who knows what they are doing" like i said, i have plenty of experience rebuilding drivers since 96-97..... in fact, i did my first top-plate re-alignment at 16. only thing i wouldn't do myself is tear a motor down. besides, shipping **** to and from alaska is kind of too much. drop-ins are pretty much a last resort for me. i know i can get hx2 re-cones all day long on ebay and such, but i personally don't like a factory rockford, i have a power hx2-12 that just needs a coil (soft-parts are still mint after cone removal) so, on that one, can i get just a coil, or does it just come coil/former assy. i also have a couple he15's...don't remember if i even have the cones, but i'm sure the former/coils are shot. what are the options for parts upgrade? another q- about the baskets, are they just standard 4-spoke/12 spoke/stamped, or are they different modles with different specs?.....aside from the manufacturer specific, like alpine, kicker, rf, etc... how do you recognize the names of different motors? it here things like tc-3, tc-2, etc....... what different surrounds and spyders can you get, like high-roll, double roll, fattie? acordian? tinsels (i've been using r/c motor wire for tinsel leads with good success, but it just isn't right) are there special crimp connectors for the voice coil wires you cannot solder? oh, i just remembered. can you explain the copper/aluminum spacers/rings in the motor? is it to interrupt the magnetic field?
