Ripped Eclipse Subwoofer Cone Fixable?

[MAkahveli 10+ year member]

What can I do about this sub? Is it fixable and if so how much is it gonna run? If the whole cone must be replaced can they do it with a titanium cone? Thanx in advance!!!

Fi should be able to recone them. They have done the Soundsplinter subs, which are basically the same.

How did it happen, well I'm not sure, it wasn't physical damage well by me at least. I had it powered by a phoenix gold octane R8.1 which is supposely perfect for it. Maybe a back pressure problem cause I made the box for the single voice coil of this sub which is back in there till I get this resolved. All I know is that I looked at it one day and seen it started to rip and didn't have ime to do anything about it and when I did well there you have it. And yeah I like to play my bass hard. It was also faced up and had only one screw holding it down, So if they can replace the cone what would the cost be? I'm trying to see if it's worth the money.

The first thing I noticed was that the surround was starting to come apart from the aluminum in an area.

your not going to get original parts to fix that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

and it was caused by a defect in the cone... not ur fault but there isnt very much that you can do about it besides getting it reconed by a third party

if someone was to have one of those exact eclipse cones you *MIGHT* be able to replace it, but its unlikely

You are telling me that you just read the OP's post where he said he made his box for a 'single voice coil' version of the sub, or that he only had one screw holding it down, and you assume he is not at fault in any way? Im gonna go out on a limb here and at least suggest the OP might be responsible for the speaker failure.
