Did you ever get your 8s???

Not unless they arrived in the past 3 hours (I'm at work). I doubt it though....

-Nick

Well they screwed up...

xxxxxx did the paperwork on them himself and the boneheads in the shop lost it.

I mentioned that i never got a bill for them last night...and got a call today saying he thinks they goofed.

So they did.

I just got him to run them through himself this time.

Tracking number 0470688xxxxxx fed ex

Very sorry for the delay man... always contact me if something is more than 6 days or 7 from getting to you.

par for the course lately.

dubyah tee eff.

I ordered some 8's for testing about 2 weeks ago. three different companies. two of the orders rolled in about a week ago. one order has yet to show up.

I got that quoted note above this afternoon, out of th blue as it were.

I'm glad the rep stumbled upon the error, as I prolly would've waited another week before saying anything...

i got another crazy random package today

[Acidburn 10]

ooooo its pretty!

the front

and the side

i didnt think i'd get a whole speaker lol, thanks Nick

does it work?

[Nikuk 1]

put power to it and find out

[Nikuk 1]

yes... it works. has some coil scratch though. adire wont repair / rebuild it. "Not cost effective".

I sent You a whole one that way You can tear it down Yourself...

I figured You'd have to pop that paticular cherry at some point.

A blow torch

[Nikuk 1]

a torch would work, faster too. LoL

razor / utility knife.

run the blade all around the mounting edge of the basket where the surround is glued to it.

As for the spiders You can either: cut the mounting edge just as You have done with the surround -OR- soak the mounting edge with "Un-Glue" CA glue release agent, let it work a little while.

Cut the tinsel leads about halfway up.

Pull the cone straight up & out.

I suggest that You try to release the CA bond for the spider(s). If You simply cut, it'll be a PITA AND You'll have to use some elbow grease to get the last of it off once the moving assembly is removed.

for example: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cf...tnumber=340-640

Any hobby type store should have similar though.

Are examples of what You use to assemble the soft parts.,

[Nikuk 1]

If You want to keep the cone, former, and all of that seperately - get 3-4oz's of de-bond.

[Acidburn 10]

hmm.. i might just have to go pick up some of that

[Nikuk 1]

it's good chit to have in the first aid box too

[Nikuk 1]
