WTH? This *****

My Brahma MK1 got noticeably quieter. So I check the resistance on each coil and find one side is showing infinite. Pop the woofer out and find this.



What a pain in my dick. I'm sorry, but woven FTMFW!

hey just be glad it's an easy fix!

you should put some goop over it once you solder though, the other one too. Notice this has been done on the cone, it relives stress being placed on the conducting wires.

I don't have the necessary tools to do the job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif I have no clue on how to properly solder either.

Anyone near tampa want to make a buck?

$10 soldering iron @ hardware store, $6 solder with (rosin core)

60ndown has got the best way of fixing it. Plus if it happens again you'll know how to solder. It's just like riding a bike, easy to do but screwing up can be painful. =)

Thats the first thing I noticed about my Eclipse's leads. **** thing looks solid as hell.

Maybe I will just sell to someone who knows how to deal with this and move onto a different woofer. I have been drooling about a MagD2. Those drivers are just sexy as hell.

I live in tampa but I'm out in cali till the 27th, if you can wait that long.

It's an easy fix though, like i said, and soldering isn't a horrible skill to learn. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Just do the initial learning process on something besides your expensive woofer as 60ndown said! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Since, I just pulled the trigger on a Mag, I can certainly wiat lol. I actually put this driver in the classifieds. If you wuld like to fix it for a few bucks then I can just recoup that on the sale. Otherwise I will sell as is.

Fuck woven. Metal in cloth material FTL. NONfixable equipment failure caused by woven FTL.

But what is the probability of woven snapping like this compared to this way?

You should be able to find an electronics repair place locally that can fix that, or any competent stereo shop should be able to, are you honestly that lazy that you will just off it broken because you don't want to learn anything or try and fix it? Some of you dudes don't make a whole lot of sense to me...

I have learned a lot and do a lot for myself. Because of this forum, I have leanred how to fiberglass an enclosure. This has nothing to do with laziness. I just don't care to repair it and have had my eye on something else anyway. If it was that **** important to me, yes I would like everything else, learn to do it. Some of you dudes who think we need to learn everything don't make much sense to me. If everbody leanred how to do everything then we wouldn't need anyone and no one would have businesses. I don't have time for a lot of this ****.

Woven has a daily use life of around 2years. Then, I've seen it happen dozens of times... the tinsels split the spider. This is not repairable at all, and requires a full recone... working on one from a TC9 for a buddy right now.

Ever think of a stiff metallic material in a soft cloth material? Can also easily throw off t/s specs.
