DIY Guitar Speaker Recone Using Paper and Soda Can!

[@mr.giggles4995]

This guy needs his own comedy special 😂

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much Mr giggles, I figure people are gonna laugh at a video like this anyway. Might as well go with it and have a good time.

[@paulmgregory3666]

😂 I’m never gunna re-cardboard a speaker in my life, but sure hope that when the zombie ‘pocylips happens I remember some of your genius.

TBH personality helps engagement - if people don't know much about the person behind the channel than you become a channel people search for fixes. If people get to know the person behind the channel then it becomes a community.....or something like that! Keep up the great work!

[@grumpygrandpa1975]

Why doesn't this guy have more subscribers?

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much GGG. I think if I was more consistent with uploads I may have done better over the years. I've gone a year with no uploads before, but I plan on trying to keep a good schedule in the future.

Youre my fav youtuber! You do all the things i always wanted to try but with a big dose of humor! Greets from the netherlands!

[@heavymetalATC]

Wow! Thank you so much Jaques. I really don't know how to respond to that one except to say thank you again. I am so glad you like what I been doing here. I don't exactly know what it is I'm doing, just kinda make up the rules as I go? People have always seemed to find me funny or annoying so I just pretend I'm doing it on purpose and I get to laugh with them 🤣

[@D_Morse]

Love the stream of consciousness narration of the video; definitely doing it your way!

Thank you so much for all the support you have shown on this channel Erick. I really appreciate it. I also figured I'm a tad bit "off" people seem to find me funny anyway... so maybe I could just act like it's on purpose and laugh too. 🤣

[@courier11sec]

Clem, I'm so happy to hear that you've had such a big improvement to your well being. I've loved your videos from the first time I was lucky enough to stumble across your channel. Thanks for sharing your skills, knowledge, and willingness to just try stuff. Take care.🙂

Praise be to the pipe dope gods! Is there nothing Oatey can't fix? So many good laughs in this video.

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting Baron. I can tell you one thing it the white oateys sux on and that's CPVC... It says all purpose but the orange stuff is way better especially on old dusty pipes and fittings. I had 2 tees blow apart on me and I said f-this I'm going to the hardware store for the stuff that looks like Tang. 🤣

[@codelicious6590]

Holy shit thIs is a NEW vid!!! Man, i cannot even express to you how pleased I am that Clemintine is still making videos in 2024! I took you for a Tennessean seein how what awfully good people you seem to be but -right no petsonal shit. Im looking forward to seeing some more stuff Just Exactly Like this vid Right Here! I have enjoyed all of the 'rock n roll DIY" vids on this channell that 8ve seen and Ive tried And am in the process of trying many of the guitar and amp experiments and money-saving ideas Ive gotten from here. I guess its just an a2ful l9ng way of saying im real glad this person and this yt channel exist!!!! Kick ass!

[@Phantommxr]

Love it !!! The thoughts just flying out of your mouth... tooo funny and great positive video!

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you sooo much Phantom. Yeah I don't write a script I just say stuff 🤣 I also don't speak well at all in reality so it's chopped up like I'm editing a vocal track in a rap song. Many takes much stuttering and uuuuuhhh and ummm. 😅

Your content is superlative. Its like Red Green but actually has legit skills and the show was produced at Muscle Shoals❤

[@billfog393]

Oh and I kept thinking gotta subscribe turns I already did

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much for the time and kind words Bill. That is a great complement, I adore the Red Green show. "If they don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy" This shop is actually right across the River from muscle shoals. I ain't no city dweller for sure. Less people and more land over here. I grew up over there off and on though, I grew up in and around the studios and artists as a kid. I come from a family of artists and many of my friends are the people you heard on hit records but it's real laid back around here. No one acts "famous" or flashy. It's nothing like that documentary to be honest. Growing up that was kinda the rough ghetto over there. So I guess I reside in both sides of the track, so to speak but choose to stay over here where it's quieter even after the gentrification that has gone on, don't go down the wrong street over there... 🤣 Thanks again for watching.

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment starborned. I am just a few years younger. 80s baby though 💯. I seem to act a bit older than that maybe because all my cousins were born around 81 I still look way young compared to these younger kids though so I'll often have some 25 year old talking to me like yeah when I was your age.. it's like bro when do you think that was?? I had a fisherprice 45 player and I can type MS-DOS commands manually. 🤣 This age group does seem to be the super DIY everything I ain't paying for that I'll make one crowd though for sure. 👍 I blame Mr.Rogers and neverending story. That man told us we was special and he meant it + we didn't need no participation trophy to keep trying. 🤣 Thanks again bro.

Nothing a little rubber cement can't fix, it's flexible nature works way better than that hard stuff.😉👍🎸

[@Bleats_Sinodai]

IDK about over there, but here in Brazil there's shops specialized in speaker repair that'll recone any speaker for the equivalent of a 6 pack. You can also often get decent speakers from them for about that price too (people "forget" to pick them up and they end up in the bargain bin).

[@heavymetalATC]

Ah, man I wish I knew of a shop like that around here. You usually have to find an amp or radio tech maybe a ham radio guy around here to recone a speaker. This was just a fun experiment though. I would obviously buy a recone kit for any speaker of value.

[@jamesjohanson5675]

sorry to hear about your struggles.. :) glad you are doing better :)

[@codelicious6590]

Thanks foe the killerbtip on that pvc glue- i always thought it was basically good for Only pvc kinda like modelling cement that only actually glues (welds rather) certain plastics. Polystyrene i think. Anyways yeah thanks. I have used flexible like auto glue or rubber cement to repair a speaker cone before backb8n the time i thought magic made most things qork.

[@masonsmith5726]

Dude, thanks for this! Ive got a pair of blown 60s jensons for free that if been wondering what to do with. Now i know!

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much for watching but dude... I would try to order a set of recone kits for something like that. It won't destroy them to do a diy cone as they can always be coned again later but you will probably be much happier with proper kits with a surround even cheap generic ones. Although I mean if you can save your surrounds and if the voice coils are good you could just cut like an inch from each and "fill in" the missing part overlap it a 1/2 inch to an inch and glue it in with some strong rubbery glue. You shouldn't even have to pull the dust cap if the spider is still holding the voice coil in the center.

[@masonsmith5726]

@@heavymetalATC wow, thanks for the advice! I'll look into those kits, youre right they're probably worth it! Love the channel man! Always thrilled when I see a new video up!

[@eddiemanoeuver8899]

These videos are looking great. I always wondered if there was some kind of magic paper they made speakers out of. nope.

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you so much eddie. I think some speakers are made from "special" pulps that are molded as cones wet and probably sprayed into molds... Hey, you could make a window screen mold and put news paper and brown paper bags, maybe dryer lint into a blender and mold a cone... Dang that's a good video idea. The ns10s used some kind of special "unicorn," paper for sure but it was basically just super high end photograph paper from my own research. They make hemp cone guitar speakers now and hartke bass rigs have aluminum cones, I've seen kevlar speakers. But the old ones... Paper glue and silk. 😂

[@John17thru26]

put two bulbs in parallel and tie it in with a push pull amp? all a tube is , is a light bulb with extra guts isn't it. when I took electronics training, there was only tubes. I am old. every amp was a tube amp. a tube tester machine in every convenience store. good days@@heavymetalATC

[@heavymetalATC]

Thank you for watching Todd. I'm sure CPVC glue would do as well. Man that white stuff is supposed to be all purpose but it sux on CPVC I had 2 tees blow apart. I like that orange stuff 👍 it's got the powah even on dirty dust or wet pipes 💪

Clem, thanks for taking the brunt of that snow before it made it to Georgia! Just kidding bro. So what is that red box with the stylus, a tone generator? That looked interesting.

[@heavymetalATC]

You're welcome sir. 🤣 Luckily I had filled buckets with water and got a propane tank and heater ahead of time. Lost power for a while lost water for a LONG time. I hope it's done with that stuff for the year.

[@heavymetalATC]

Ahh that red box is a Gakken SX150 MK2 analog synthesizer. It's like a little "toy" ribbon synth from Japan... But about 10 years ago I took one apart and wired in proper inputs and outputs and control patch bay with a mixer and an amp in a big box to make a modular or "semi modular synth" and it was awesome. These little "toy" synths have every bit of capabilities as an expensive synth like a mini moog or mini brute they just lack proper interface and controls. I have some vids on the chanel with that big ole box synth but they were probably about 8 years back. I had an accident in the studio and a + 12 volt alligator clip popped off and just by the worst luck brushed the ground sleeve on a synth jack on the way too the ground and smoked the whole lot. It's my own fault for having no fuse. 🥲 Live and learn I reckon.
