Quick question

Solo x 18 recone came in I put it in but didn't bolt it because I don't have new bolts yet and the coil rubs when I push it down is it cause it's not bolted down yet or because the motor is shifted and the coil gap is fu3ked?

Will the coil get ruined if I bolt the cone down and play it on some low power to see if I hear any coil rub?

Yes!

try rotating it in different directions and make sure your pushing down evenly, but whatever you do don't play it with the coil rubbing!

I can't rotated it because the coil goes one way with the cone on a mounting pin, now I'm looking into the gab and it looks all even I know even a millimeter can make a diffrence by it only rubs when I push down with 1 hand directly in the center if I take 2 hands and spread them out more towards the side it won't.....I'm not sure what I should do I just bough this new recone and I'm worried to power it up

Hard to say if you're pushing down evenly. I would say if the gap looks right, you are probably causing the coil to rub pushing down unevenly. I would leave it alone and wait til you can put low power to it. You will damage the coil by pressing on it causeing it to rub, just like if you put power to it and it rubbed. Most likely its fine and you're being paranoid. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

just be careful and be ready to shut it down as soon as you hear it rub. ( which I'm guessing it wont rub)
