it will be a nice little woofer

 
soak it in phosphoric acid so it will never rust up again.

did it to an RE SX motor after it rusted up, after it was soaked in it and cleaned up it sat around for about a year and a half. never rusted up again.

 
where would i go about pick that up
home depot. can be found in the paint area. cost maybe ehhhhh 3-5 dollars.

just take a bucket, dump all the acid in there. and sit the motor in there. let it sit over night. then the following day just scrub it with a soft sponge and then rinse off well with hot water. let the motor sit in the sun for a long period of time to evap all the water in it, or stick it in the oven.

 
well it was the whole woofer and it had a re xxx recone in it so i guess thats what it is but im not finished cleaning her yet. that was just the first step. the baskets going to be painted a metallic blue as well.

heres the original recone

got any new spiders for that cone assembly?

either way good luck.

i kinda did the same thing. i had a SX coil/cone/spider assembly in tact. so i put it on an XXX motor and threw 3k on it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
id fill that up a bit more, making sure to get the gpa and all that full, if theres any rust in there, it'll be bad in the long run if it gets shaken out.

 
i just flip the motor every once in a while. there isnt a spot of rust to be found on this thing now . ill have it up and running in a couple of weeks so ill post vids. ill prob sell the woofer after a while. this is just for fun. i hate seeing dead woofers:(

well it'd be nice to find out what kind it really was. looks sja built, so i would think atomic or AB.

well the outside isnt too much to worry about, id still be worried about the gap. so having it overfilled and completely soaking the motor over the top would be a very good idea. then get something to cover your face and arms and any other exposed skin, and air compress out the gap.
