Blown magnum!?!?!

Recommended Posts

One of the coils on my 12" Mag is blown (I Think). when we wired the sub in series on a Volt meter the DCR was only @ like 1.5 ohms. Me and squeak9798 tested it @ his house and I think it took a big bite. Would there be anyway either Stereo Integrity or RE could rebuild this woofer for me? I am willing to pay and ship it to get it Fixed. I am sick of having no bass.

Send this guy an email:

He can tell you whether or not he has recones available for the Magnums.

I do believe that if you actually "blow" a sub, you will not get a reading when measuring resistance across the coils.

BTW, how would RE rebuild a woofer they don't build or sell?

on caraudio.com , Jellyfish is getting an HCCA / XXX hybrid sub made. all you have to do is be willing to pay for it. and to get this thing fixed i'll pay whatever it takes. i'm going to call RE and see if they can do anything for me.

nick doesent have any recones yet, should be some in soon. he is working on getting them ASAP and i believe they will be in pretty soon. better shoot him an email though, he has a few other people waiting on recones at the moment as well, and he will only have a limited number of them.

i sent Nick an e-mail and he said he'd let me know as soon as the recone kits came in. I'm about to call RE and see if they can do a hybrid build with an XXX. if that falls through i guess i'll be bassless until the recone kits come in.

Just hop on Ebay and pick up a cheapy for about $30 and wait. That's what I always do. Could be the reason I have a ton of drivers sitting here just not getting used.

Nope, sold the Behringer. Still have the MAg. Truthfully I hope it doesn't sell, but I'm going to need the money and plans have changed so a 12" is in order. Gonna be selling more here shortly. Everything in the sig will be up.

A SI re-cones sells for $175, while a used SI D2 sells for $200-250. This effectively sets the value of a blown Mag at only $25-75.

Did you find out how much a XXX hybrid re-cone would cost from RE?

lol i really dont know hoss. i'll have to get back to you on that.

oh i called RE too, and they said, I'd have to send in the Magnum, they'd take it apart and look at it to see if they could do anything wtih it (motor structure and basket dependent). then I'd tell them what i wanted to do if they could do anything to it and they'd tell me how much it'd cost.

HA! That never got changed.

Supposed to be some CSS 4" XBL^2 drivers in that slot, and Koda 8s on the midbass.

Good NEWS! I took the magnum out of its box and the magnum isnt blown! I hooked up my DMM to each coil and they both read out to 2.0 ohms on the 200 Resistance setting. OMG i almost cried when i saw it. there is nothing wrong with it now! All I have to do is get an amp that works for me... or get this one fixed. This is the happiest day of my life.
