Hi

My subwoofer is damage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

it is a dual 4 ohm sub ,one of the 4 wire (2 pairs) that go's into

the cone under the "dust cap" ripped off !

I need to take of the dust cap and re solder the wire and then attach the "dust cap" again !

My Q is: do anyone tell me what material or liquid i can use to melt the "dust cap"

glue ?

and what glue to use to attach it again?

the "dust cap" is Plastic and the cone is Paper .

It is "Rockford Fosgate RFR-2212" .

thank you all

 
Oh boy...not sure what to tell you there! You will probably need to get a new sub b/c that will more than likely keep falling off. There's a lot of movement in that area and I'm thinking you will have difficulty making a secure connection. Who knows though, I could be dead wrong.

 
if the cone and dustcap aren't damaged, just epoxy it back on. let it sit for a few hours to let the epoxy cure, then rock out. i would leave it overnight even just to make sure that is sets up right. i actually have no dust cap on one of my treos right now. have to fix that soon.

 
if the lead ripped all the way out of the VC then your better off just getting a new sub

use a utility knife to cut around the dust cap to break the glue bond

use some cement glue or even super glue to get the dust cap back on

 
my main problem is how to take off the dust cap,

if i will use hot Blower to take the dust cap off then it can work ?

(melt the glue)

no other suggestions?

thank you all

 
Hi all yesterday i took off the dust cap with a knife (thank you Decipna)

I open it carefully with sharp knife very slowly...

OMG what i saw inside...

both VC's were ripped off out from the bottom side...(this explain the funny noise i heard too) no way i can fix it only re-cone !

i can't use it even as a SVC !

I will ask Rockford to see if it's worth the money for fixing...

any way next time remind me not 2 put 1500w rms to an old 1000w rms speaker,lol

Now i am looking for better sub like RE SX or XXX...whenever i have the cash...

the speaker was looking good ,what can i do with it now?

thanks you all !
