im interested in seeing the fittiment of the surround on the basket.

i wonder if it has to pull down like some, or if it just fits right in there.

I went back and looked and the beauty ring was on in all the shots so I'll have to wait and see about that myself.

may pull down around the edge which would be good give more room for a little pull plus more for the glue to hold too

Called Rusty to ask and he believes it just sat down nicely.

negative.

that would reduce usable excursion.

Good times on that one.

-Robin

are you using CA on the surround or Rubber glue?

Thanks! We only live once so why not have fun
Steve sent me the shirt! I dig the look of it

at what point do you think reconing every week will not be fun anymore? Serious question as I know you're driven and have to do what it takes to reach your goal, but GD that's a lot of work week after week //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

I tried some diff coil configs with my AQ's and reconed 3 times in the last 3 weeks and I'm SICK of CA glue and reconing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Well I've only reconed these twice so I'm getting better. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif No it does get tiring especially having to break all seals to pull out a box to get the subs out etc...

Although things will be much easier soon and I'll be able to leave my enclosure and all testing in place and do normal reconing again i.e. no split baffle.

Robin....I have been using ca glue but it becomes brittle with the dc surrounds so hence forth will only use rubber glue and epoxy on top of that.

Being able to leave the box in place will help a lot. I have 4 15's in a wall and have to pull the seats which isn't that hard.

but 4 recones in a row takes some time, usually 10+ hours from beginning of removal to reinstalled.

Hope the new recones work out for you. Do you have a goal in mind when you'll be "happy" and stop messing with them?

id go rubber on the bottom, and ca beaded dd style along the outer edge, w very little hardener. (after the rubber glue sits for awhile that is)

Once I recone I'll give it a run. Frankie does well but he starts complaining when I really get on him musically. LOL

Peak Freq at the moment is 45hz.

 

[iamamp3pimp 5,000+ posts]

that will change once you recone again.

that always sucks.

find your peak, and then let me know.
