Rebirth of a Legend....pt 1

Time to recone my TRF 15. As many of you know the 4hp motor is a beast and a half with it's 4in VC, tripple stack 70ish lbs motor. Whether it be a TRF, T3, Ti Pro/5200, whatever.......it's serious......

I went through FLstrongman for my recone. He was able to get me all original TRF parts. The only thing I did differently on this one is upgraded tensile leads. I felt that the single run of leads are great for burps, but certainly get stressed with daily 3kw+ abuse. He was able to find a set of TRF without the leads already sewn in, and spliced those on my recone.

Since those extra leads were seperate from the original leads, I had to go and sew those leads on myself (wasn't as tidious as I was expecting). Pink was the lightest color I had besides yellow and it gave an almost psi look to it lol....

Onto the pics....

1 out of 1 babies agree this woofer needs to get fixed soon.

Sewing time........

I think i'm going to skip the terminals and just do direct copper crimps to my 8awg speaker wire.....

if things go well I'll be aligning and gluing the spiders later tonight.

excellent......im sure that'd be expected on a 21inch or bigger sub......but a 6 or 8 in coil on a 15 or 18 should get prettttttttty nasty

If your skipping terminals why use crimp connectors and not just directly solder them together?

the 4awg solid copper crimps I have are ALOT easier to use than running an extension cords all the way out to my card to solder the connections. Plus I feel like the crimps will do a better job of holding the connection together than solder.
