INTRODUCTION
Before you start:
1. Inspect the cone replacement parts. If any parts are damaged, the kit needs to
be returned for replacement.
2. Have all components of the recone kit ready for installation before
disassembling the woofer - do not leave the speaker gap (disassembled) and
exposed for any length of time. This could result in foreign contamination which
will affect woofer life and performance. Be careful not to drop or damage the
re-cone kit in any way or your project will not function correctly.
3. These woofers are heavy. To prevent injury to yourself, have another person
available when moving the woofer and for help in positioning during the reconing process.
4. We recommend that you have BLUE (removable) thread locker for best results.
Do not use RED (permament) thread locker.
5. It is very important to perform re-coning in a clean environment free of
contamination and most importantly free of metal particles. Do not attempt reconing in an garage or other area where metal is cut or filed. The incredibly
strong magnet on the woofers will attract metal particles to the gap area from
a few feet away. Metal particles in the gap will permanently damage the
speaker.

RE-CONE KIT
A re-cone kit is available for these speakers and can be obtained from your dealer. The
part number for each model is listed below.
RE-CONE STEPS
Note: Step seven in the re-cone process must be altered when re-coning the 10"
Woofers. See section Alternate step 7—for 10" Woofers at the end of this manual.
Refer to the exploded view at the end of this manual while using the following
procedure.
Note: Before beginning, record the positions of terminals and logos so the new
re-cone assembly can be installed the same way.
1. Remove Spider Ring bolts (eight), from the bottom side of the basket. Bolts can
be removed with included Allen wrench. To get access the basket may need to
be turned on its side.
2. Place the speaker facing up and remove the Edge Clamping Ring. There are 8 Allen
head bolts on the 10 & 12" models and 12 on the 15" model that clamp the
surround edge to the basket. These are removed using the included Allen wrench.
3. The Moving Parts Assembly (cone/spider) can now be removed from the basket.
Note that the edge has a small amount of PVA adhesive attaching it to the basket.
Lifting one section of the edge will break this bond and facilitate lifting the edge
free. Be sure to remove any residual residue before installing the new assembly.
Alcohol and a Q tip or soft lint-free rag can be used to clean the surface.
4. Make note of any obvious problems, (voice coil burnt, mechanical marks on the
coil, etc.) Discard the old Moving Parts Assembly. Contact Technical Support for
advice regarding observed abnormal conditions. Be sure to remove all remnants
of the old voice coil assembly before trying to install the new re-cone kit. If there
is any residue present in the gap, it can be cleaned with alcohol and a Q tip.
