Alpine Type R Restoration and Re Cone 

Hey bro I need ur help. You helped me revive my subwoofers before! I have this type X that needs fixing!!

I've been considering trying this out the type s...

Great vid bro, looking for some blown Alpine’s Type-Xs I can recone myself, heard they use diff size spiders but up for a challenge and to learn. Really dig the salvaging of all the stock Alpine parts, I much prefer that as well, not really into mixing baskets/surrounds, etc like most do.

Subbed. Good vocabulary, precise, little rambling on but that's OK. I do that too. I saved my last Type R 12 that rocked and tore spider-to-cone connections wide open after I was playing 'er wide open in a "sealed" box that decided to blow apart with no warning. *sigh* If I ever recone it, I'll have the grand honour of rocking three subs at the same time, for the first time. The Type R 12 in a custom built (to fit allotted space) ported bandpass box, a Sundown SA-10 V1 in a prefab slot-port Amazon box that's been crossbraced internally and soaked in up to about 2 ounces of thin CA glue, And a Sundown SA-8 V3 in a sealed prefab box with stacked plywood baffles (mounting depth issues), inverted. Because...chrome magnet. Why wouldn't you? The SA-8 purchase was, I believe the very very last $60 Yard Sale item available from Sundown Audio, cuz the next day they were gone and they haven't been back since. So...that's how it is...that is how it be is. Truly. Memento mori, que sera sera, carpe diem, carpe noctem and most of all, caveat emptor. Mofo's be out jackin' fools for real. Don't be that fool.

One time I put some blue tape on a black coil to mark it where I didn't have a silver sharpie to set the depth and I for got to remove it so I get the spider all glued down and I see some blue tape peeking out and I used way more tape than I needed, so I get that instant regret feeling weighing my options of prob be ok it'll stink for a bit yada yada but I couldn't leave it in there. It was a sundown tooled frame so there was no good access to the coil and it was 7 slugs so really in there deep, but Fortunately I had drilled some pretty big gap vents and with a pick and an hour I got it all out... Felt pretty dumb.

Can an Audiopipe 12in. Txx blue eye candy be re built? Or do they sell a drop in kit for them anywhere? Don't need to be the blue aluminum look either. The dust cover sperated from the coil but coil still works. Will not throw out even if I can't fix. Brother gave it to me before he passed and Im looking to bring back some memories. Please help, thanks

I got a alpine swr-1043d 10" and it needs a new surround. I looked at lord of bass and saw theres a "big roll" and "tall roll" surround. What should i get?

I have a Type R that makes noise when I turn on the power. I thought it might be the defective coil, but it doesn't scrape. Could there be a problem with the cone or the spiders? Have you ever seen anything similar?

First video I pulled up on your channel was the audio frog rebuild and you did a wonderful job. I just subscribed to your channel I learn as I go also and I've rebuilt a few subs myself. Your rebuilds will possibly give me more ideas.

I've done a rebuild on a 12" alpine type r and it was a pain but I ordered new spiders and new coil and fixed it and sold is and made a buddy of mine super happy it was a 1st gen.

Hey i have 2 12inch alpine type R . Can you please help for info for a website to order the coils. Thanks!

Where do u get the coils? Im having a hard time finding them bass of the lord doesnt seem to have them for there alpine but in 12s

Thanks for posting this video. I have two swr 1522s that I just tore down. I would really like to do a custom rebuild on these, not sure what to do about the spider situation though, mine have cracks and are very brittle so not sure how Im going to go about installing new spiders since it has that goofy spider spacer ring. Other than that, it seems like using standard softparts on these would not be a problem. I know psi has built a set of these 15s before and they said they built a custom spider ring in the listing (they also went with a single spider) , im just hesitant to start buying parts because this is my first custom rebuild, ive always reconed using drop in kits. Anyways, sorry for the long winded post, but glad to see someone out there keeping these subs in service. I loved mine and used them for many years, and was at least the third owner of my set.

Some people should not make videos.

Looks great you did a great job I hope I can do almost as well

Mr. M thank you for your informative videos man, def giving us the motivation needed to rebuild these bad boys! Question.. would you recommend doing a full rebuild on the 12’s with new cone and dust cap? Or keep the stock look and just do spiders and coil? I see Springfield has the coil replacement kit. I’ve got mine all tore down, only thing is I don’t know what to use to separate the coil from the cone, I’ve used goo gone professional strength, just not sure if that’s safe to do for this.

Do you habe a shop cause i just blew 1 of my r's

Where do you have go to source the parts? I'f I wanted to rebuild a sub. I'm sure there are authorized dealers in my area, but if I can get shipped to me directly that would be preferable. Thanks!

Anyone know where I can find parts to rebuild my type r 15?

Your abilities blow my mind. Salvaging the soft parts - the ciol of course requires technique and knowledge.

I’ve got an alpine type r 8’ and where the cone connects it’s came loose.I can’t find a recone kit anywhere do they even make a recone kit for the type r 8’?

What’s the kit called

How much would u charge To recone If I paid shipping to and from u

Hey man just stumbled upon your video a friend of mine gave me a type SWR 14 and I wondered where you get all the parts from? Will I be able to find a cone for these? And the spider and the coil?
