TheEAR Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Agree The black dustcap is missed on the new R series,you should bring back the black dustcap.Even if its inverted The only time a driver looks best with no dustcap is when the entire cone is a single piece of material,with no dustcap.

fabulousfrankie Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Hey Bob, Thanks for the exp. on compression drivers. On another note, I read some time back from a source that I feel is reliable that the woofer in the RSW-15 is basically a more economical version of the awesome Stryke HE-15, is this true?

Ou8thisSN Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 what does a Dust cap do? does it attract the dust to it, rather than the woofers or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAKO Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Keeps the dust & filings out of voice coil gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankhokie Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 if you ever have done surgery on a woofer and took the dustcap off, you would see that the woofer's cone is attached to a "tube" (sorta like a half length toilet paper roll) that tube has a coil of wire wrapped around it on the outside (you can't see it from the dustcap area) and the inside of the tube/coil rides, but doesn't touch, a part of the magnet structure. if dirt or dust got in between this tube and magnet area, it will make a VERY audible scratching sound when your woofer moves. i had an old subwoofer that during a really far excursion of the cone, moved enough that the tube actually went past the magnet structure, then twisted, and upon it's return, struck the magnet structure and bent a small area of the tube (thus touching the magnet and making a horrible noise when playing) during a successful surgery, i was able to bend the tube back into shape and salvage the sub..whew. hope that helps...if you wanted more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
