alright so i have a replacement cone being sent to me for this woofer. so far i pulled out all the screws that hold the cone in at the motor and i cut out this top foam
now, i thought i was supposed to just cut along the spider and the whole thing would come out. this driver has two spiders. it has the bottom one, which is yellow
(horrible picture)
and then there is the top spider, which is under that clear dust shield.
now, the whole piece moves up and down, the bottom spider moves freely, there was no need to cut it out. this top spider, which is under the dust shield, is glued around that silver piece that is also under the dust shield. ive tried pulling the whole cone up, but that top spider is glued down real good. theres no way to get to it from underneath. i dont know if i should just keep pulling until the glue breaks apart, or if i should try and cut it out somehow. im basically going to be replacing this whole piece anyway, but i didnt want to damage whatever is supposed to stay put.
any ideas?
