You tube is 90% S***. This is 100% Greatness. Absolutely perfect. Nothing missing. Nothing superfluous. 5 minutes is well edited. A++

[@chrisdutch3013]

I wish every video was as well explained and clear as this one. Great work!

[@leiferickson3183]

Clear and to the point! Great video!

[@mkds7756]

I really appreciate your clear directions and visuals, this gave me the courage to try this on my own. I hope it goes as smooth as you made it look! That battery trick was the icing on the cake.

[@EricWeinrib]

How did it go?!

[@MatthewNorthArchive]

This is an absolutely spot-on video I was just considering the idea of reconing speakers in the amp I've just acquired. Watching this it's a no-brainer thank you very much.

[@charleshendricks9188]

Dude! That was very well done and I spent 20 years in the military teaching others. This was the video I was looking for. It shows the entire process as well as any How Its Made I've every watched. I'going to recone an Oaktron FE15TW 8 ohm speaker that cam in a cabinet I purchased for an amplifier project. I just needed the cabinet, but them I got to looking at the speaker and decided it was worth saving. You've saved an Oaktron sir ;O}

[@wattage2007]

Bloody great walkthrough!

[@marlandoromo]

I watch alot of recone videos and this is by far best one yet

[@mdanger6026]

I always though re-coning was beyond my skill level - but you just proved it possible. Thanks!!

[@letter1967]

Man...I have been waiting for you....I was given a pair of Bose Tower speakers years ago that had the speakers blown ( 9 speakers per cabinet ) and didn't know if i was gonna try and fix them until now. Thank You

[@kennethvanallen4492]

This is a great tutorial - thank you! I've repaired just about everything in my bass rigs in the past, but have never reconed a speaker.

[@mikesmusicden]

Excellent video! Covered each step clearly and in a way that is easy to understand!

[@terrypearson8350]

Man that was awesome. You did a fantastic job of explaining it. It was simple, direct and straightforward. And it helps that your voice is really pleasant to listen to. LOL. I could DEFINITELY do voice over for discovery. Great job👍

[@tedeisner822]

Nice bro. Thanks

[@guillemiami]

Thanks man! Just found a pair of Advent Prodigy towers for $10 each, and might need some reconing probably. You just saved me dude.

[@DennisLindsay-by5fw]

looks great

[@robertruth3281]

Nicely done. You make it look easy!!! Thanks!

[@kidlargo1]

Short, concise, and to the point. That's how it's done. Thanks!!

[@jeffreychapman6287]

Very good video

[@rusty1187]

Simple, and to the point. I have a 1937 Philco shortwave radio with a shredded cone i'm going to try this on!

[@kellybenhura3210]

Thanx for this video, seems possible,looking forward to recoil my speaker

[@o.w.dobbins6927]

Great instructional video….I never new it was that simple to re-cone a speaker….Thanks!!!

[@vonzen]

most helpful video! thanks!

[@bushratbeachbum]

Awesome video, clear and concise. Do you use the contact glue as contact glue (apply to both pieces, let dry, press together) or just as a directly applied rubberized glue? Do you find your kits from the manufacturer or from other, aftermarket sources? Cheers!!

[@petelucchini1168]

Just completely rebuilt a JBL D120f 12" for my 1965 Deluxe Reverb.. I've done surrounds and realigned Polk Audio magnets but never a full rebuild.. Have no fear, think before you start take your time follow the instructions and it will be easy. Been watching Craig's list and Ebay for blown EV and JBL guitar amp speakers.

[@arnoldralph2363]

hey That's COOOL❤ 😎 🆒️ 😊 😃 JOYFUL😅

[@desertroott]

Great video. Easy to understand. Jumped right in it and I appreciate that.

[@rickygray7767]

Great video👍 Which type of adhesive should be used for the dust cap epoxy or contact?

[@stevean77]

Good job Bro

[@IllusionSoundNyc]

I needed this video. Thank you!

[@mikeault]

Thank you!

[@SolarMillUSA]

Damn. This was good. Well done, sir!

[@philiplibby6360]

Wow ive thrown away so many speakers over the years and really good ones to.man if would have only new back then awsome video

[@davenik1999]

Great instructional video, thanks!

[@NoFearVR]

Thank you so much! I have a subwoofer from my dad that is 20 years old. But the cone from the coil dried, and ripped. He tried putting cilacone on it. But it was to heavy for the Sub! I fixed it!!. Now I didn't have to pay 90$ to fix my sub!! Only 30$!!!! Fixing it easily myself!!!!!

[@wondervalleyexperimental]

Nicely done Sir! Fast and useful.

[@guillemiami]

Thanks man! Do you have the link of the reconing kit you used?

[@morrisax3000]

you made that look so easy.... Woooow!! 👏👏👏

[@bobullrich4795]

Great demo. Thanks

[@itaiberger7973]

Great video. What cone brand or characteristic, or type of material is suitable for better sound?

[@WhatsReal401]

Wow didn’t know know it was that easy paid so much money at speakers store wen I can do it myself thanks a lot for this video

[@ALLGR-SeniorLivingSolutions]

This was awesome 👌

[@Shadowsnyper2]

Spot on brilliant given me the courage to recone mine thank you*****

[@paulinboston]

Thank You, good job.

[@LanceCampeau]

Great demo... super clear and concise. BTW, I like your logo too... custom font?

[@martynholder1971]

great video might save me lots of money I need to replace the cone in my Mission speaker 73 LF58W/

[@fullcircle.organics]

On point thanks

[@coreyfellows9420]

That trick with the battery ... Im stealing that one.

[@achannel1818]

I never knew you could do this. I only heard about it from a video about tweed amps. Good stuff 👍

[@bigstick5278]

Yeah one thinks it Voodoo and Mojo but it's really easy if you take your time and think it through.. The lining up of the voice coil depth is the big part.. And poking holes in the cone to run the leads next is the soldering the leads to the voice coil.. Working on your soldering technique is a must as you will see all your work go poof before your eyes if you get sloppy.. using Aluminum dust caps make sure your leads are insulated as the dust cap will ground the leads and put you in a panic.. I simply place my leads under the dust cap if the cap does not mount to the voice coil former/Bobbin or just outside to avoid this issue.

[@derickpower]

Do you use the epoxy glue for the dust cap?

[@joey_bag_a_donuts]

excellent battery hack for polarity. I learned something.

[@denizenawlpike2574]

What kind of glue do you use for the dust cap?

[@maxlegend1374]

Can I use the same voice coil and spider when reconing

[@wjadam815]

What if the polarity is reversed? Do you have to take it apart and turn the coil around?

[@darkotv2]

Where to buy this parts?

[@farmingyouthofficial7271]

Good job

[@MarkSchuster-ym3iy]

You sure made it look easy, been holding off IVE got probably a dozen great speakers waiting to be fixed. I think I’ll order a few kits and do it over the winter. Thanks a lot.. oh question how much time do you actually have into this speaker. 2. This wasn’t your first speaker right? You looked professional doing it.

[@goodun2974]

What silicone type and brand is that which goes on white but turns clear when it dries?

[@TMG363]

Thanks for sharing, where did you get the silicone from to seal the edge of the surround?

[@68pishta68]

you can use thinned down clear RTV from the hardware store. Thin with oderless mineral spirits. You dont want to glob it on, just enough to permeate the suspension to create a air tight seal. Rubber/poly suspensions dont need this, but the old cloth or paper type suspensions can benefit from this.

[@deluxetone]

Great tutorial. Very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much.

[@angelmartinez7069]

What type of silicon was used that goes on white and dries clear/black?

[@jonathanmelendez3601]

My question is where do you find the recone kits? I cant find the ones i need for my speakers

[@jonathanmelendez3601]

But great video very detailed

[@taylorharlow379]

Where can I find a reconing kit for Rockford Fosgate P3D412 Punch Stage 3 12" subwoofer with dual

[@zapwatt]

I want to rebuild my Pioneer drivers but cannot find cones and surrounds for a 16" woofer. What should I do?

[@ESsaneTwk]

If a kicker speaker is blown can you recone it with any brand recone

[@goodun2974]

Devcon makes excellent epoxy glues but I don't recall ever seeing their contact cement. I've used Devcon "2-ton" epoxy many times; they also used to make a white epoxy that cured to a porcelain or ceramic-like surface ---- I used it, as well as some "Liquid Aluminum", to patch a leaky mold for making fishing weights from molten lead!

[@xpertcrush]

did anyone tell you that you look like mancity defender Kompany ☺️

[@marleeman5776]

Please the Sony amp-615 speakers...and the realistic mach ones house 15

[@68pishta68]

nice! a piece of masking tape can be used to clean the coil slot where the spacer goes if anything got down there, just push it in like a ribbon and pull it out until no particles are found stuck to it.

[@goodun2974]

Steve, even better than masking tape for cleaning debris from the voice-coil gap: the sticky edge of "Post-It" notes, those sticky notes you use as reminders on your fridge etc. The sticky paper is thicker than masking tape and doesn't curl up so much. I've even used it to clean the coil gap on old analog meters such as the one in my tube tester.

[@sciencemansandera]

Nice job on the video I watched one by celestion but I don't like when people make videos and just play music and don't talk to tell you what they're doing or what glues to use etc Thanks

[@sullivsm1]

Does the spacer get removed? I didn't see that part in the video.

[@haveheart2630]

Yea. @ 03:41

[@skywarp8611]

Replaced it like a surgeon.

[@HighRisksatx]

Wopila!

[@heythere6983]

One thing I don’t understand is the point of reconing a speaker if it’s original parts are unavailable. It only makes sense if it’s parts are around. But with discontinued products it makes no sense

[@blackwolf616]

So the hardest part is to find the part in question, I always wanted to know this! Thanks man!

[@lkjyuiop1987]

Fix my speaker.com want 250 to fix my blown subwoofer I think not I found the parts to fix it for 60 bucks Cool video thank you for it

[@bigstick5278]

After you get over the fear of failing, it is step by step easy.. Thing is if you fail because you didn't take your time and think it through.

[@duroxkilo]

you got to love it when someone knows how it's done before they upload a 'who to' :} i'm about to attempt to fix the actual coil of an 8" just because i feel like it. fun fact, speakers are the weakest and least efficient electrical motors. most have an efficiency of less than 1%. it's not even funny :}

[@glenarnould657]

That's not how contact cement works. Contact cement goes on both mating surfaces and is allowed to dry. Then make contact of those two parts.
