solder iron and you are in the good.

Haven't got an email from you. You've got three options, you can attempt to solder them like they are..which odds are they will break again. Second you can get a tinsel kit and a dustcap from us and put new ones in them. Or lastly you could get the new recones that have the sandwiched leads...

Regardless your subsonic filter needs to be adjusted so they do not unload, or you need to drop the tuning of your enclosure...that is the cause of snapping tinsel leads is simply over excursion.

Email me, it's faster. I don't have a lot of time to be on the forums.

Thanks!

is it just a soldering job? everytime i try it breaks again.. or will it need a recone?

the trick is to coat the solder joint with a thin layer of epoxy.. that will keep it from burning off/breaking again...

is it snapping the leads or burning the leads. if they are chared then you might want to back off on the gain a little. fi is a great company w/ excellent customer service. nick will take care of you.

Okay so take into account my first post. Im an idiot and i prolly blew these subs up right. how hard is it to recone a sub?

 

[pawn man 10+ year member]

if it is just the leads i would contact nick about the lead kit.

 

[streetbeater 10+ year member]

Id be surprised to see the relatively large gauge wire of a tinsel lead melt before the smaller gauge wire in the coil did. As Nick said above, generally speaking a broken tinsel is from over-excursion, not too much current flow. Mechanical failure, not thermal.

so assuming i get them fixed how do i prevent it the next time? build a large ported box? and turn my gain down right now its halfway from factory?
