so i had 3 12" kicker compVRs years ago and i 1 blew.....i thought! lol it stopped working so i chucked it in my room and tossed my other sub in the car(only had 2 outta 3 subs in my car)
so im moving this thursday and came across the sub and i tossed my digital volt meter on it and got 2ohms on 1 coil and nothing on the other one so i cut a section of the cone off and soldiered a wire to 1 of the tinsel leads

then drilled a hole so i could run the wire to the "outside"

then i put the part of teh cone back on, u can barely tell it was cut off :P lol

gonna wire it down ot 1 ohm and toss it in a 3.5 cubic foot box tuned to 38htz and feed it 1000 RMS and see what happens lol its only meant to handle 400 RMS BTW, and im pissed i sold my other 2 CVRs as i could of had all 3 wired together

anything i do wrong or could of done better? im guessing i could of tried to attach the tinsel lead underneath the cap but i was in a rush and dont really care for this sub lol

 

So what exactly did you accomplish with the single wire you soldered?

 

the one positive terminal wasnt connected behind the cone, so because of that wire im getting a 2ohm reading on the 2nd coil where b4 this i was getting nothing on my volt meter

 

Ah, I see. You may have been better off just re-soldering it like you mentioned, but hey... whatever works - it's better than a useless coil.

 

ya i guess it would of been cleaner but either way it gets teh job done if it was something more expensive id probably take more time with it lol

i have a 15" RE SX sitting in my room that i might try to fix as both coils im getting no reading on my DVM
