mark Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I have two, blown up, ripped out, non preforming (yet bad to the bone) speakers out of my hershey corners. The no # on the back of the speakers is K-33-E, on the back of the cone the number is 451520-1 ( or 451520-i ) so im thinkin that these bad boyz are 15' inch speakers. any way, i beleave my best cours of action is to have them reconed? i live in the bay area. Any suggestions? Mark,..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 You can buy new for about $129. See Forum Member BEC on the Updates and MOd Forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 agree, buy new if available...in this case...it's available if you DIY, low end reconing kits run about 40 bucks each, shipping another 10 bucks each, glue/removers/containers proablly 15 bucks more, your time???, health issues with the chemicals??? if you send out, prices average 89.00 each plus shipping to re-cone.

DrWho Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 All of my past recone jobs have been under $40-$60 all costs included. Most recone kits come with their own glue, cost around $30 and then you've got shipping costs. It's just a matter of shopping around for the right deal. I wanna say my first attempt at reconing took about 6 hours. But after doing a few I've got it down to like 45 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 sounds like you were doing it correctly to include breaking down the magnet motor assemply to inspect for coil fragments...which i find often. i have not seen a kit with good instructions...a few companies will sell you a vcr tape for 30 buck.

DrWho Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I'll see if I can't find the instructions that came with my last kit and then try to scan the picture into the computer. It was like 3 pages long front and back with tons of pictures - I do things differently now, but it was nice to have something to follow verbatim and have it work in the end. Inspecting the motor for fragments is a very important thing to mention...Once I was in a hurry to rebuild a driver and skipped over that step and ended up blowing the driver like 2 hours later. At least I had a spare voice coil... [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 i made it a habit to always inspect for fragments after a re-cone job of a recently reconed speaker I was given that rubbed....upon initial inspection..I kept pulling coil fragments out...decided to break it down to all the sub componets and was amazed how much of that stuff was in there and where it can hide.

DrWho Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I have not...K-22's tend not to blow [] I can do some hunting around for some kits though...the generic stuff usually works just as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
