Seeing the video but hearing Mr Hawkins speak made this video so worth watching.
I like to use GOOP on the surrounds as well as the dust cap, i apply the ca to the spider landing, then goop to surround landing, drop cone in, press firmly and spay activator on spider. Once held take the subwoooofer gasket and put it on, this holds the surround down to the GOOP great! Reason behind using GOOP on the surround is its much cheaper/ easyer and holds great! Awesome vid ed!
Liked the vid man. Great instructions for peeps that haven't done it
Hey I bought that Diamond Audio subwoofer! Lol. Made a box out of scrap wood and managed to do a 135 @ 40Hz on around 100wrms in my tiny temp. setup in my Aveo. The direct leads were nice. :)
I always love me some edwin T. Socket. Very informative video! LIKED!
Surround to cone is a tough joint and may never be back to 100%. But you can use "Amazing GOOP" or epoxy to fix that joint. Just make sure it is something that can adhere or bond to rubber.
GOOP, the best stuff out there, I use it for my sub boxes all the time!!

great vid man extremely helpful i hav mojos so i just swap baskets and love the subliminal showtime spl that kept popin up
The voice coil pushes the cone in sequence to the electrical signal fed to it. The cone then vibrates the air molecules and this is sound.
Thanks for being calm.
Hi I just wanna say like your video and you really inspire me a lot I fix subs for friends some times and instal systems sometimes but I feel that you are really intelligent and I read every one of your comments lol and people are just immature and I know people ask you questions all the time and its prolly annoying and I know you prolly don't reply to all of them so I just wanna say I think your very smart and I wanna just ask you if
lmfao at the voice..LIKED!! funny and informative.. thats what i like to watch...
I laughed out loud while watching these guys make faces!! LOL!!! :)
I've only done one re-cone so I'm no expert, got an 2002 RE XXX and when I re-coned it, as you did (except I did the whole surround at once) the surround moves all the way to the edge of the landing for the surround, which I thought was fine until I put the gasket on and it was riding on the surround as well the mounting screws would cut into the surround slightly asked Fi about this and they explained when you glue the surround down you need to put the gasket on to align the surround correctly
I purchased from an industrial supplier. You can try CA Plus, or even hobby shops
best recone video ever!
Sounds like there may have been an issue or something custom going on. Most woofers are not like that and only use the basket to align the surround. And some surrounds have a solid landing so the holes have to be cut or punched afterwards anyway. Some are tooled with the holes already punched and that would require spinning the cone/surround until they are lined up.
i like the video! was a great how-to and even a veteran reconer (like myself) picked up a handy trick or two.
i just wish YOU would have done the narration instead of the computer. got a little annoying lol
Thank you for your quick reply.
@tacomabanga1986 Its just black CA with a slight rubberization. Bonds well to Foam type surrounds. Have to rip or cut the surround to get it off.
I never used any CA that sets up white.
too funny....i have no choice now but to thumbs up and sub, great jobs guys !!
Great job sanding the basket now that’s how to get good contact with the surround
@tyoung319 GOOP is good there too. Just takes a while to fully dry and still costs some bit o money. Buy its available in most hardware stores.
@emartinez0291 Nope, no Hifonics Woofers there. Just custom woofer parts and a T3 Audio woofer.
@GoPre474 Maybe from Sony but I doubt they offer recones, youd have to contact them to see.
the robot voice had me loling really hard but its great to see the great ed lester and his alter ego edwin t hard at work
@Got5pl You can try contacting Soundstream
@stefianzen1 is cyanoacrylate, or C.A. glue aka Super glue or model glue. You can also use epoxy
Mixed emotions im having as i watched as those sub came back to life and i also feel bad because ive trashed a lot of sub's because they where blown dam.But screw it good job on the sub's and the vid.keep it up
Must have cost a fortune get Hawking as your narrator!
always love your vids bro... imformative... yet funny as hell
awesome vid ed way to go aways wondered how to do it right still dont know if i would try it but good info
@narcoti yes that is possible, then you just need to recone with a different coil. Where you have to do this depends on what subwoofer you've got. what subwoofer do you have??
lol. well you can use adhesive dissolver but it doesnt really work on silicon. The silicon shouldnt have soaked through the fiberglass/woof so it should eventually separate from the box.
ed, do u use a different type of ca glue because mine wouldn't glue the surround, i had to use loctite glue for it to work right, all ca glue did was set up white and come unglued
and shimming makes a huge difference if u have surround problems, i had to shim mine to keep vc straight, i dont like tight vc gaps but the subs perform awesome tho lol, keep up the good work mr socket
Loved the video guys i got a question Can you recone any sub woofer or certain ones
is one of those an old DAD woofer?
(Standing Ovation) Ian2lo gives 2 thumbs up.... Showtime, has outdone himself.... I shall sub now.... I feel like a vid response is in order, if you'll watch it... I have something to say....
@Quekil830 Only ones you have the parts for. I only had a few parts laying around for this one.
@carloextreme I am not familiar enough with those woofers to know if parts are compatible.
@poweracoustik267 These are Dual voice coil subs
this was an awesome video, and very informative!
@LordPS3 thats actually a great idea, thank you
i always prefer wrapping the tape around a popsicle stick when i clean the gap. makes it much easier.
ed i have a question i need to glue a new foam surround to a polypropyene cone and dust cap what glue can i use the will have a strong hold contact cement says it wont work with it ? thanks
Silly but serious question. Guy with the glasses I really like your hairstyle. What do you call that? Er like if you go to get your haircut, what do you say to get that style?
awesome video mate!
The gasket is used to line up the surround? Hmm I've never seen that, can you explain? Which model woofers? I'm curious
what glue do you use and what's in the spray and what is the purpose
I love the glasses!
Hey is that a hifonics olympus next to the work with a recone kit on top of it?
Quick question... i have read many forums regarding fixing the surround on a subwoofer but i have a Phoenix Gold Rsdc 12" Duel 2ohm voice coils capable of 600 watt rms at 2 ohm. When playing the subwoofer noticed odd flapping noise to find out that I blew the butyl rubber surround off some of the cone about 6 inches. What would be the best steps to take to attach the rubber surround to the cone again?
Amazing GOOP will work, or epoxy meant for plastics. Just scratch up the plastic with sandpaper first.
I was about to ask where u get your cones but read you made them u have a skill set to be envied son
You can use Automotive silicon GOOP or use an epoxy
Thanks, Steven Hawkins, didnt know youre doing such things (y)
^helped alot, a BC3500D would be too powerful right ?
So the voice coil makes the cone sound with the waves or im wrong?
I got a question if you guys dont mind.....I want to recone my subwoofer but the manufacture doesnot make recones so i was searching on the web and found this sing 4 ohm recone kit and my subwoofer is a single 4 ohm will this work
i have a 12 inch kicker cvr do you think if i grabbed a recone kit i would be able to use the basket from the cvr if i got the same size voice coil and would that change the rms in any way could i make it go up or down??? ive never reconed but i have so many blown subs lying around it wont hurt to try
@e2theloc It was given to me with the woofer. Probably came from Diamond
@ShowtimeSPL BTW, I am a professional woofer builder at a factory and never wanted to show a recone vid because of some Trade secrets I may let out. But a bunch of viewers kept asking for one. So whalla! And I couldnt narrate myself that day because the audio got screwed up. that's a behind the scenes secret.
Ahhh!!! Input!! Need more!!!
are you selling them? or do you know where can we buy a recone kit?
please help us
I have kicker cvr and my adhesive dissolved around my cone what can I use to seal it back
Damn bro your badass hella clean!!!!
Haha.. Bass Bass in ya Face ! Great Edward..!
hi Mr.Socket! i have a DD 2515 that is rated @ 750W RMS and im pushing it to 1000W RMS, daily. my question is, can i use a 3515 recone kit if i blew off my 2515?
@Qaasim830 There are many different factors, coil inner and outer diameter and coil height, also spider sizes and clearances. You need a recone that is made for your woofer. Try fixmyspeaker . com
@sk82rap I built my own, I worked at a woofer factory
Woo! I am reeleeved! xD
Relieved
@ShowtimeSPL where can you buy the black ca glue all i can find is clear @ mobile solutions
hey i got a eclipse sw4200 12" thats blown and i want to recone it but where can i get the kit, how much will it be, and what kind of recone kit should i buy.
Just awesome...! Good Info and it made me laugh ! :D
Is it possible to get a recone kit for a Soundstream T4 15"?,
Im in australia....
The whole coil is catus.
Hi I need kind a professional help , I've got 3A andante "prelude " bi-amplified 3 way speaker but woofer has blown and I don't know which woofer to put 1. Eminence Guitar Legend 4 or 8 ohms? or this kind a woofer it's only for guitars usable freq 45 hz- 3.5 khz 400 W
or 2. Martini Wiseman 51 hz to 4 khz 400 W ? help me please if you can which one should i put ?
great video.
@ShowtimeSPL It does for sure, but i build the recone while reconing the sub now, so it sits for a day or 2 any way......... I always seem to run out of CA lol so i try and use it the least since theres no quick way for me to get more...... I guess I could stock more than 2lbs at a time huh lol :P With the glue I get from jacob (think its the same as yours) its tough to get it off the top landing vs the goop..... Word to the wise, dont get the ca fumes in your eyes BURNS = understatement :)
nice vid. I need a work shop like that 2.
I have laughed at this subwooofer so hard probably to hard but it’s so funny
@bassabigdeal oh Thank you, its not about that. A lot of people bash on youtube, unreasonably. I look at all of us car audio guys as a select group that share a common interest and that's the groundwork for friendship. If a lot of people dont like the computer voice, I wont use it again. But a lot of people like my humor and what I add with knowledge so I keep including it. We can all share ideas for vids and audio.
aye man, how could i purchase a couple of these woofers??? and what is the power ratings on them????
Great video!!! I have a 10" diamond d4 and I was wondering how much it would cost to recone? It still works but it makes a cracking noise at low volume! Thanks again for a good diy video.
what kind of glue and what stores carry it
@ShowtimeSPL hey man T3is out businnes, so i wonder if your guys have TSNS motor for sale. cuz i have 2 baskets from DC audio , I wany use w/ TSNS motor, please let me know...
can you recone a Funky Pup?
What's in the spray bottle?
You're right, sorry for tryna act like I knew something when I didn't.. two re-cone kits they put the wrong surround for my basket.. sorry dude!
what kind of glue do you use?
Where you get those tripple stack magnet from
Nice work
Do you have any subs for sale
@SinBeatz1 Thank you
@bassabigdeal what? entertainment and education? Sorry, you dont have to watch if you dont want. The Goal of my vids is to give something different than all of the other bland car audio vids out there, and to spread the years of knowledge and experience I have attained from doing this. If you already know so much and make the best vids, or have seen the best vids, you need not share in my channel if you do not wish. Thank you for watching this vid and good luck to you in the future.
At full power for daily use, yes that is a bit too much.
he says it like sbwOOfr haha sweet vid ed
i've got 3 jl audio 12's in a fiberglass box that are siliconed/colked into the box....does anyone know any way to get them out with-out destroying anything?...
