ken6432 Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I took the horn off of my midrange driver during my speaker build to make sure I hadn't gotten any sawdust down inside it. When I went to pick the driver up off of the table saw table, I didn't get a hold of the bottom of the magnet area and the driver ripped apart. Is this driver now ruined, or can it be put back together? Thanks for the help. Ken6432 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Ken, As long as the magnet is aligned as original, it should work. I'm not sure about what I'm seeing, but the bolt holes should provide the precision needed. Is the magnet held in the assembly by bolts? If it's one of the glued on types, as on most woofers, it's a story with a sad ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 The magnet looks fine. The photo resolution isn't good enough to see the coil. If it's not bent out of shape just put it back together and give it a listen. If it sound like h3ll then order a new coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken6432 Posted October 6, 2007 Author Share Posted October 6, 2007 I guess I shoud have said this is the midrange driver from a Heresy II that I am building into a horizontal center chanel. The edges of the coil look fine, no damage what so ever. The piece in the top of the photo (with the coil on it) and the piece on the right of the photo appear to have been glued together originally. This assembly was placed on the magnet with the spacer (on the left) sandwiched between them using the two pins as the alignement. The whole assembly is then bolted onto the horn with the four threaded holes in the magnet. So Daddy Dee in response to your post, the top and right pieces are (were) glued together, but the horn mounts to the driver magnet with bolts.

Daddy Dee Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Sounds like you've got a good outcome in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken6432 Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 I hooked it up and it sounded as if everything was fine. Thanks for your help. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
