How to recone a sub.
Ok, so here is step by step pictures on how to recone a sub.
So here was the issue.
Now in a normal, easy to get to box, I would just re solider the leads and be on my way. But since I went through all the trouble to pull the box I will upgrade to the new tinsel leads.
BTW, here is the old coil next to the new. Not bad for putting a Maxximus to the pair of them.
So we start by having a good clean surface to work with. We will cut out the old cone.
Next we will cover up the motor.
Now we want to clean off as much material as we could.
Now the fun part. We get to grind.
Then we want to clean off the old leads.
Now normally I would use a grinder not a drill but most of my tools are in the new shop. I we were limited on battery power for todays work.
Look for the rest tomorrow.

Now that it's clean it's time to get it back together.
I start by marking where the leads go. It's simple i know but a lot easier then not having the leads in the right spot
Nothing like some home made shims to set the coil.
Black CA glue and some activator.
Laid down a nice bead for the spider.
then weighed it down to help it set.
While it's setting I soldered the leads.
Then a nice bead of glue for the surround with clamps to hold it in place.
Now the dust cap can be tricky. I use a piece of tape to hold it while I glue it
then add a little weight to hold it while it sets.
Bingo. Reconed sub.
