TC Sounds recone on my RE Destroyer (PICS!)

[HotCarl 10+ year member]

how does it compare with the previous soft parts(the kevlar re parts or whatev)?

jordan wants answer.

The original Destroyer was much better then this sub. I can't turn it up loud without it doing that clacking noise. Which I still don't know exactly what that noise is.

And to clear something up about the cone breaking and the clacking noise.... I got it reconed the 1st time and was breaking it in. Broke it in and turned up the gains. It started making the clacking noise and when i was bringing it down to TC to get it checked out the cone snapped. It got reconed and now it's making the noise again. Hopefully it gets figured out soon, I'm waiting on a call from Thilo to get it all worked out right now.

Oh, and the aluminum cone is now reinforced and double layered where it snapped before. there's a crease in the top of the cone so there's a better surface area for the surround to glue to, and that's where it snapped from fatigue or whatever. so that's been completely reinforced and has help up so far and isn't showing any signs of weakness.

ask them what kind of deflection those kickass 10" linear roll spiders have //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Not bagging on it

I'm pointing the problem to them/you....there's two things that can cause it, and its now narrowed down to one.

So you're saying the spider is deflecting waves from the bottom of the cone?

Yeah i know it's been one of those threads, it was bound to be. Just try and keep it chill.

Nah man, Spider deflection is how much a spider will let the coil rock side to side.

If it moves side to side it will hit metal, and its the only way you will get a 'clanking' noise unless the cone is hitting the spider landing itself...

That's why very very very few people use the large diameter spiders because it will allow it to rock, when the coil rocks with power on it it'l either short the coil out and fry it, or it'l make loud clanking metallic noises.

You can have MUCH more linear travel with a 8.5" spider with taller rolls, then a 10 or 12" spider with shorter rolls.

Easy But VERY crude example, Take a dollar bill hold it horozontally so you can read it properly left to right, and push your hands together. See how easy that is?

Now flip that same dollar bill 1/4 of a turn and do the same thing, you should beable to tell the difference in force needed to apply to make the dollar bill 'deflect' or move.

Point being...Spiders are ideally designed to be 100% linear in forward and rearword travel, and have no side to side travel...

Well.....I'm not saying they are a bad co. as i said before, i respected Kyle for what he did, but its pretty safe to say that they cant recone a Destroyer. it doesnt mean that they cant recone anything, just not everything.

 

[SkwurlyFab 10+ year member]

Yeah that makes sense, that's a good explanation. I guess the only way to see if it's rubbing is to pull the sub out, but I don't feel like doing that right now. But I really should lol.
