When "I know a guy" recones a sub, what do you get? 

Interesting indeed .From the looks of the voice coil it seems that were metal filings in the gap that was scoring the coil at specific points .

Finally someone who knows what the hell they are doing. I’ve been watching people recone with no measurements for the voicecoil depth and the motor structure. Most people who don’t know what they are doing just glue everything in as is with no adjustments for anything. 💪

Got an old blown sub for free, gonna try to recone it just for the experience. Using this video as a "what not to do".

He tried to do it himself..... now he has to listen to you burn him the hole video ahahahah

Let’s see Mr. EMF work his magic on this boat anchor.

See, this is why i wanna learn more. Just watching this is intriguing !!!!!!

I have rebuilt a few of those motors really good setup for tuning low.. i have reconed about a dozen different subs because that guy they knew. I know i have bash you in past vids but you do good work keep it coming. That coil face palm

That appears to be '05 Shocker Sig motor. If that is the case these were designed by Thilo Stompler who has a pretty good pedigree in the industry and it will definitely hold its own vs. anything without neodymium in the lanes. That said I have some American made OEM spec coils to fit those in D1.4 and D2.8 copper. AFAIK nobody else has any left so I had some wound this winter. n

Is that a robot underground rebuild...lol 🤔😂

Thanks again for a great video you should definitely do a follow-up of you rebuilding this one very interested in seeing how it comes out

Who tf built this? This is truly just slapping some shit together and hoping for the best.

That top plate is freaking me out man lol. Yikes. And the VC gap is giving me anxiety. Excited to see how it turns out!

That's a shocker mike motor, he's from here in Ohio

Sean,I love ya videos bro

when you learn that steel , copper can expand +.02 the hard way that's not even taking in if the top plate is in spec wow what not knowing will get you lol

What about the Brazilian amp and the markings on the coil. I have 2 dd950015s from 2010 that are making a weird sound when put on a taramps 8k

Great info love my lowballer 15 but cant find a recone kit i checked the website as well really want to get this lil champ back in action

What is the name of the adhesive glue? Is it an epoxy or silicone mixture?

I got a set of PSI 8 s .... One was making noise so I decided to tear it down and see what the problem was and it was pretty much the same thing just not as bad

Also I know a guy who can do recones and he's an engineer and one of the best inbox at his job both fixing speakers and knowledge base and old skool look gear you never know who you dismiss because things don't viensd fast as you want them too

Only EMF products. They have the skill, knowledge, and background to support this entire hobby. I only trust EMF Audio for my equipment.

So a legit question I’ve been having for a while. Is it possible to use a 5 channel amp to run 4 door speakers and a pair of mids woofers if the lpf goes high enough or would it be better to run a 4 channel and a 2 channel

That motor is great... Coil was to tight. Simple.

Shocker Sig motor it was use in the old school days for SPL they had tight gap and big gap version

Once again good information, but can you please do the Banhammer v2 testing so you can at least get the production going on it. I had placed an order for the 12" last year and still waiting patiently.

Do you have a way to contact you in regards to a topic similar to this video?

Is there a way to save the cone? I have a new xtant x1044, and I hooked it up in series instead of parallel. 😢

Good ol Shocker sig motor, I use to have a really rare set with a tiny bottom plate that didnt even cover half the ferrite on the bottom. Shocker sigs were really strong, but no idea why it reads so low.

completely unrelated, I know you posted an update somewhat recently on the banhammer, How’s it coming along? think I’m gonna pull the plug today on pre-order, I’m curious if you have any good news in the month since!

Looks similar to Atomic apxx's i miss those buggers

Brazilian full bridge amplifier damage? Sweats nervously while staring at my taramps hd 3000.

This is very easy to do.. No training just watched a couple of videos. Mine turned out perfect...

I think that the guy that built this knew a little bit but not enough to build this specific speaker

Can you rebuild a re mt 15

I'm building a motor and ready to do the machine work What is an acceptable coil to topplate clearance on a 8 layer 3" coil for a 2Kish sub with plenty of venting, top plate is .75" thick.

So basically you were positive example of "I know a guy"

So why does full bridge amps cause that??? Really want to know.

When you tested the motor, and it was about 6200, what does that value mean? And 6200 of what unit?

I hope thats not a robot underground sub!- or im gonna have to tell him to clean his shop again. lol

I've rebuilt a few subs now and "know a guy" that does it often but damn, I haven't seen one in that bad of shape. Then again anyone that's heard a sub play, would know right away, this sh*@ isnt built right, give me my money back... So I don't feel to bad for the customer. But still, that's just wrong... I am surprised it didn't come apart just from cooking and rubbing. Must not have had much juice on it

You Think That Motor Needs To Be Recharged? It Looks Pretty Old. Or Just A All Bark Motor lol

Wish I could find recone and could for a L5 15

aside from the bad recone, wtf did this guy do to scuff the surround that bad?

probably he didn't planed well and he was in a hurry

So I wouldn’t call that a recone more like a complete build.

Love your videos and your work. Can I send you a motor and basket for you to build me something?

Reconing, refurbished products are always scrutinized and analyzed.. "Life's like a box of...."! Be aware! You never know.

That’s my old sub I had a guy that said he was a builder and do the same thing to me 400 got it was a set

What a bodge

Yeah I know a guy 😂

Can the Lowballer hang at 10-26Hz on 1400w and get 140dB plus in a 6th order bandpass or something?

Sometimes bd reference from people because they don't know what they want is making it hard for people who can build and make awesome redone and custom reconnes as long as they have the parts for Craftsman instance I have 22 frame and ?assorted motors the strmi have a quad stack high guess motor with thin ish and amen sort of size bottom plate and then a triples and quad stacks and all high gauss nitiess and all we need is someone to supply cones and surrounds with spider packs and unusual with coils in 3" &4" but it's not a big dea1pair in particular is a set of odd sizesed 4" coils and they are larger and smaller so of is larger and I'd is smaller than a. Regular 4" coil but when I find the right coil and and in the right thickness I'll make it on a decent ally former and a decent spider pack as I agreed pre posting you spider packs with you favorite im thinking it will be a round wire coil maybe a quad Ayer and bring the layers stepped down from top and nice and flstbst the bottom ad it seems to taper in st the top of the gap the add the cooling ring and the cradle and also the cone and mega surround the spider pack would be medium to get a good mix of loud and music high power coil about 3000wrms and it will be amazing but it will take some time as alot of people won't sell you parts to finish products do you can Finnish the subs you have backing up on order due to being unable to get good machining or good parts for instance cone and surround with stiching great cones if carbon and kevlar but come people make a desicion about you and don't tell you they don't have things you need and that you basically have to buy from the main builder you pay less but if the rest don't come to the party you have to tell all your clients that you can't do what they want because if mow and nothing else you can roll your own coils in round wire but you can't do anything because the person has not made a great deal with there parts suppliers so u have to pay top doller forrinstead of sharing the parts and making a good deal on parts you push the person away and well you end up missing a great opportunity because you were depending on others to pay for the now instead of saying it's too much and telling the clients the whole story before they out stuff to paper if instead of being high and mighty about it youbgekpped instead and then come to a real deal with parts and finished products and listening when the customer said that a product wasn't gonna be sold or received well but what do I know I'm just a builder of subs custom and easy and all of which are awesome builds and have been doing mega damage to cars and meters are awesome and do real quality music and you wouldn't hear it now I find you in the same or similar spot as myself and I need parts sample was retail now you have parts it seems and are in a position to sell them so how about selling the parts we need to our job and sending me a pair of recones with odd size coulssuoted to about 3000wrms long a long coil I'll send the measurements to you and you can help us and we can finished the projects we have been trying to get done now for some time but due to the builders so called now which by the way now is a pointless thing it really means as many as the clients want to buy unless that have a need to buy in products t make rhwire products from a larger build house what your doubling may work for you but if you can sell us parts or a carbon kevlar sandwich cone and a stiched megaroll 15 and the spider to former stop ring as we call it or the ring below spider we clue to set height setter with CA glue and then instead of trying to look and show people what's wrong with all these products just help people out and get kudos for being a good dude instead and growing the business nationally And internationally be know as a good guy rather than a guy who shows his intelligence by putting down brands as he's a decent guy but just makes it hard cause of the way he tests others instead help out and sell them the parts they need to finish the work they have on the books now

That was a “horseshit story” if i ever saw one...the wear one the rubber surround showed me enough to know the client probably ruined that thing himself and maybe tried to re-glue or recone that thing himself...

Kind of a 2 part question: Why arent cones made out of different materials such as carbon fibre, aluminium etc and why are the spider landings smaller than where the cone sits ? Could the spiders be as big as the cone ?

U said a brazillian full bridge amp cause a scarring on the coil can u explain why a full bridge amp would damage a coil like that?

This is why I just buy new.

This looks like a subwoofer that was built by a guy in Trinidad and Tobago

Its not that hard to recone a sub right? Just takes quite a bit of time.

Can U recone any sub?

That thing is beat up, I’d throw it out and buy a banhammer.

See I'm like you this quote-unquote I know a guy s***. Am I going to get EFT out of my money or am I going to get a good deal and people always ask why you go to this big companies I can do it for you for cheaper yeah but I don't know your work I've never heard of you I don't know anybody who knows you who can show me you're working oh hell yeah he does a great job but this company over here in this building I see their work all the time. So I rather what he will call get overcharged by them in my stuff come out right then get a good deal in my stuff is crappy

That would appear to be a tight gap shocker sig motor. You should just chuck it in the trash!

Arent you a guy people know

That sub looks gross. You should just give them an EMF LB 12🤣

Concept motor
