After looking at this video I'm now up for the recone challenge on my sub's!!! Thanks!!!
How it turn out
I love how you just tear woofers apart just for the fuck of it and for the experience. I admire that.
Thanks EXO for this video. at least i know now if there is a blown woofer it is always repairable.
You know it, man! Thanks for watching the video :)
the reason the ohmage fluctuates when there's sound or air movement in the room is, and fun fact time, a speaker and a microphone are the same thing. a microphone is a speaker in reverse. the vibrations of your voice cause the coil to tingle which creates a very small amount of electricity.
Pavelow impedance bro.
Hey I know this is a long shot considering this videos old but I have a question I have a skar vxf 12 dual 2 ohm and I sent in for repair but they sent it back and said it had a stuck coil.. this subwoofer loves and slaps when i put real low decaf songs but when it comes to songs that arnt meant to slap it sounds like shit. My question is would a recone kit repair it?
Where do you order the nvx recone kit? I don't see them listed.
Jason Varner did u get it? I can’t find it
Web sight
PSI....
Thats the kind of video i like from you. When i first started in car audio, i learned from you! Keep em comming!
Hi EXO I'm trying to find nvx recones but am having no luck where can I get them?
One tip when soldering....never blow on solder to cool it down. Doing so can actually cause cold solder joint which is just another way of saying a bad solder joint by disrupting the metal while it is Cooling
Good insights, thanks for taking the time to share!
I thought the title said "How to Become a Subwoofer"
Excellent video tutorial video Exo most definitely two thumbs up in the air for you brotha basshead and friend. Ftw every single time
This dude is awesome and he makes it look sooooo simple , thumbs up 💪💪💪
You made that look so easy! Save alot of money to I suppose?
It is pretty easy and u save money instead of just buying a new one
Exo the most awrsome TH-camr on the planet!
Pure good dude :)
Where can i get the recone kit?
I have a RE audio xxx 12v2 12 inch sub, I blew them yesterday and I can’t find a recone kit I believe they don’t make them. Need advice😩
Can you give some specs of the Kit?
Spider landing Width?
Voice coil Winding Hight?
Cone Height?
VC internal And External
hey exo do you have a build process of franke
Curious are you using both glues coming out the epoxy thing
Bro fried my subs was pissed!!! 2 HCCA 152 DUAL 2OHM They froze up know they over heated whats the best way to keep them kool put fan in the box expensive issue summer coming want to play them loud! More advice? My wiring is top notch 100%
Great tutorial EXO!
Sorry bro, but cones and coils are not soft. Tried eating them once....didn't work out. I believe they call them soft parts because they are the only things that move. All of the cone and coil assembly moves, including the surround. The magnet area and metals surrounding it is referred to as the motor because it provides the force field that enables the soft parts to move. The basked is pretty much what keeps everything together. Just thought I'd add that. Speaking of baskets, those are awesome on the NVX's
dragonsage2008 Coils and formers are very soft and easily bendable? I don't know about that..... First off, I was just poking some fun at what he said. Second, I simply tried to shed more light on the topic. The only thing soft on my subs are the surrounds and the gasket. The spider takes some force to bend it out of shape so I don't think of it as soft.
dragonsage2008 no you said "the coils and formers are very soft" and I don't know about easily bendable. the copper wire is wound on the former, making it part of the former more or less. I don't know, maybe you're the hulk and can easily bend those with little enough force to call them "very soft". Just saying...
WE NEED THE DEMO OF FRANKIE ON FULL POWER!!!!!!
What you mean we? "We" are not impatient.
Fuckkk yeahh!!!

I agree, but what are the laws over in the us. could you get towed to a place ok for a quick blast?! In the UK all wheels have to be of the ground for a legal tow on an unisured/taxed/mot'd vehicle. unless the authoritys are doing it. motering laws are different everywhere.
Yes
Put those glod screw on termnals from 1232d optidrives.
Hello EXO. I have digital design 1500's where can I buy recone kits at I don't see any online anywhere. Thanks for any info you may have. Also I have 1510's dual4.
Hi there you really are one stop shop .
Love the old drill
Thnx so much for this exo! 😎
i have a set of clarion 12 inch subs...with a 2 inch voice coil can i use a sundown audio recone kits..the sundown recone kit is also 2 inch voice coil..?..and dvc for both subs..thanks
Is it just me or did you put both leads on the same side terminal after reconing ? If so, what is the advantage ?
Hey Exo, when doing a recone. can you upgrade the coil and or other soft parts to get a higher wattage woofer than stock?
Yes, definitely!
Awesome vid thank you
I kno this is about wat ur doin EXO but do u think an equalizer is good for a system? Plz lmk
EQ can be a wide variety of things. What kind of head unit do you have and what kind of amps?
@@whoismarkjones9283 Nothin yet, I was jw if I should get one
where can I buy one
Fixmyspeaker.com u won't be let down trust me
What about the first spider down there? Will it stick by itself to the glue and not pop out? because it's not accessible for clamps. Or the pressure from the second spider will do the job?
The pressure from the weight on the whole assembly is enough.
It should have been addressed seperately. Lower spider, upper spider, and after that it really doesnt matter if you do the surround or the tinsel leads next. But leave the shim in intill youre done the spider/s and surround.
I know this is an old video. Im curious where i can find a recone kit for my 1988 cerwin vega AT'15's? One still works great but about 7 or 8 years ago my pioneer elite vsx99 home theatre reciever had left channel blow out. I had radioshack repair the receiver. Then found out the 15 on that side no longer plays. It barely moves so im guessing the coil unwound.
I currently have two cheap mcm electronic replacement 15s ( 200watt rms 400watt peak speakers i got on sale paid just under 100$ for 4 shipped.
The 3rd and 4th i put in some pyle dj speakers.
I still have the one working cerwin vega 15 now in a 3 cubic foot sealed box in my brothers honda hrv. Id love to put my AT15's backtogether with cerwin speakers.
Then id like to try building a dual 15 box to fit my brothers car give him the mcm 15s.
this guy makes steve meade look like an amateur
Joseph Jack bullshit
italian t-shirt :) love you from italy!! good work buddy! :)
Love from Canada!
Do you got that fucking virus ???
Didn't get to see the second spider landing and how the cone was attached your video show the first but how about the second if it was glued down
You do a great job on these how-to videos. Thanks for sharing
Great job EXO I'm gonna be doing a level 5 dc 15 here soon and this video really helped me I had hit a bump and she popped out of the box broke my basket and ripped my surround so I popped the motor off and bought a nice new titanium basket and the recone kit with the glue and solvent with direct leads can't wait to have my baby back I'm running 4 of theses and it don't sound right only having 3
Goodluck, Josh! Glad this video could help out a little bit. I plan on remaking a more in-depth recone video soon to stay tuned :)
Where can I busy a kit recone exo?
Please help. I don't know how to message him directly. I have the older cervin Vega stroker pro 12 that had the big clear bubble on it. I want to rebuild it but i can't find the drop in kit they made when selling them. I'm in ms. Starkville actually. What's my options. I had one of these when they came out and i had to sell it to help family. I finally located another and purchased it. I got a blown sub and now I'm wanting to try and get this one fixed.
Wow... I just replied to your latest upload concerning reconing
Thanks for staying connected and checking out the videos :)
Where's the recone kit at?
Do you have an email i can shoot you a few pics and questions. For no other reain than science and boredom i am thinking about rebuilding my subs using pieces from other subs. Like a frankesub. And i have a few technical questions. Whats an email i can reach you at?
Hi EXO, i burned out my sub, reconed it, but it does not work, all the coper wires was cokt, some was stuck inside the magnet i puled all out, does the magnet (motor) can be damaged by burning?
Do you ever sell any of your old stuff
All the time!
Where do we order these recones
Wow that's awesome! Please tell me where I can buy these recone kits. Nvx recone is impossible to find.
Nice
Looks good bro
Thanks, man!
Hey Exo where did you find the recone kit? I blew my VCW spider last week and can't find the kit anywhere. Please let me know where I could get one, thanks
Psi has them
I know this video is a bit older but my question is still relevant, is a spider pressure ring not required for a recone ? i picked up a blown audiopipe txxbd312 for $5 and want to try reconing it just for the sake of learning but there is a plastic ring that was glued and screwed to the spider, there is no way to save the plastic ring, will epoxy only be a good replacment in place of the ring.
are these nvx even worth reconing? I mean they are so cheap. Saying that i bought 2 - 15's and expect good things from them on my cab 1600.1 running at 1 ohm.
How much and where can I get the recone. I still can't find it. Plz help.
Hey exo what make and model of oscilloscope do you have?
TPI 440
EXOcontralto awesome thanks for the reply brother. Keep up the good work man I love watching your videos.
can i replace just the foam (surround) a cat thought it was a scratching post on the foam!
I HAVE A AMERICAN BASS 15 INCH SUB THAT NEEDS TO BE RECONED ITS A XFL-1544
Let your work will always be creative success and I wish you success incomparable ツ ツ ツ Our like # 774
What's going on with ur amp
As someone who has used a ton of different epoxies I’m positive you are supposed to mix it together on some tape or whatever and then apply it. Did you use something different?
The epoxy he used in this video have a mixing chamber that you put on before the dispensing nozzle. It's actually a pretty clever idea as well as effective.
Where can i buy a recone kit for that nvx ? Sonic does not offer that kit any more
Hi exo where can I get a American Bass Elite 12 inch recone kit?
Hey bud I know it’s been like 6 years, but I was wondering. How did the epoxy work out for the spider?
I am using a stiffer spider and had a recone made for my hcca motor. And I got CA glue but didn’t even know I needed activator 🤬🤬 but did a test and let it sit for a day and it seemed to not really dry too well even with videos I’ve watch that using the activator let’s the glue set quicker. The ca glue looked to be cracking when dryer
Anyways, let me know if epoxy is gonna be ok for a TI basket, with a blue (very stiff) spider.
Good night question can I recone a db drive 15 with a other recone
were can i order an nvx recone kit like this one?
Psi
If you made a caul ring for the outer diameter to fit inside the flange area you wouldn't need so many clamps. It could be made out of almost anything. A piece of 1/2" x 1/4" plywood cut to fit the diameter you need would be fine. You can also use plastic, metal, or several layers of cardboard. Use a lazy susan to put the speaker on and it will make running a bead really smooth and easy. By the way, the cawl is just for temporary clamping, don't glue it down
Superb video @EXOcontralto
Hey this is a bit unrelated but in your opinion which is better polk or NVX? im looking at either the VSP65 and the DB651.
Hey. I just came across you channel and I love it. I want to upgrade. My system and get a subwoofer somewhere in the 400-600 rms watt range and a mono block amp for it.. I have everything else al ready to to. What would you recommend for a sub and amp?
Did u use same glue for dust cap that u used for spider and surround ?
I have an old pioneer 3 way 6ohm subwoofer system and the subwoofer is really loose it's and is very quiet I'm running it off an 8 ohm stereo system at 700 watts but the subwoofer is 120 watts so its nut underpowered is it blown or is the spider dead?
What about if it's just the surround that's blown out? I have a jl 10 and the surround is gone.
Might need a new foam kit!
Hey, I need a recone for my Obsidian Audio D2 12" v3. OA is out of business now? You got anywhere to point me to?
***** will it drop into an OA sub though?
albackwardz Yes.
Hi EXO, i have repared a USA BUMPER 250W 6" woofer... if you like i me to show you some fotos somehow
I have a zvx skar sub where can I order my recone kit
If i was to start reconing subwoofers. How much would u charge from size to size fr so I dont screw myself fr cause nothing like them tax free $$ fr lol
Where do I find nvx recones
And are they the PSI recone
What glue/epoxy did you use for rhe dust cap mine came off. Luckily it's just that and not a blown speaker.
Will this work on a blown out subwoofer I have a 15 inch DC audio will it work if I do what you did??? Or should I just throw it away
I am getting ready to do my first recone. Are you using loctite 5 minuet epoxy. Or what would you recommend. Thanks!
Im looking for a Rockford Fosgate Punch P31204 recone kit
Look for a 🗑️ to throw that pos in.. 🤦🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣
Would this recone kit work on a soundstream t5 ?
***** I am trying to recone some 12" boss l12 "the outcast" 2000w subs. Is there a website where you would say I could get the kit?
Are you using the same glue for the dust cap?
Where did you get a recone fir that sub exo? Im having trouble finding one. Super helpful! Thanks!
Anyone else hear EXOs Voice in the music @ 13:58
I'm having problems, I know how to recone, but the parts are super rare, a super rare brand too: Targa Autosound
Ohhh, yeah that may be a difficult one to land. Where have you looked so far?
EXOcontralto where do the same recone
Awesome recone video Theesis. Could not have done better myself!
Wow great video. I'm have to get me a bass starter kit..to get back in the game.im glad to come across your channel..👍👍👍
Is it worth it to re-cone a Type E Alpine ?
8:16 I've burnt my hand on a soldering iron before a few times. Once was actually the other day... it had been on for a few mins, but the air around it didn't feel hot, and the "on" light wasn't on like usual. I figured just a quick tap wouldn't hurt. Boy, was I wrong... I burnt the shit out of my index finger on my right hand. It stopped hurting after the first day and some moisturizing lotion and Vaseline, and didn't do any permanent damage (I was lucky), but I've now got an annoying blister on my finger, lol. Hard lesson learned: Never touch a soldering iron that is plugged in, even if you think it's off or broken.
Good lesson, but ouch!!!! Glad it wasn't too too bad though :D
Thanks for commenting and sharing that with us all!!!
EXOcontralto Of xourse :) Keep it up Exo
Hello Exo, is there an place to get over all cones for sub woofers.,
also side note do you sell any used unwated amps an sutch.
EXO, I have a 10.75" Soundstream DaVinci sub, where on earth would I find the parts needed to recone such an odd size sub? One of the 2 coils is open on mine. More than likely a disconnected wire but I'd need to tare it apart to fix it. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Hmm, wish I could be of more help on that. But your best best is to fill out a service request @ FixMySpeaker!
EXOcontralto thanks man. Also, thanks for motivating me to get back into the car audio stuff. Just picked up a 1999 Punch 1100a2, chrome to start off an old school build.
Explained so well i think im have just save my money n do them myself
You made it look super easy , I hope my recone kit comes with that spacer lol don’t really want to use a deck of cards lol.
I have 2 12s and the cone is frozed up can I just change the cone or I need to do more
The cone is attached to the coil, the coil is likely what is "stuck". In that case a full recone kit will be needed.
Where did you order the recone kit from? I have a VCW152 and cannot find the recone kits.
So were you using (2) of the Loctite bottles per sub exo?? Good video as usual Bud
So I have a type s 15 that the rubber is coming off of it can I use the same method to re seal it on just the rubber
How long do you have to wait for the epoxy to finish drying before you can remove the clamps?
