Tc Sounds Axis 12 spider came unglued

[jj1479 4]

Well guys maybe one of you can help me out. I have/had in my SUV a Tc sound axis 12 and was playing it on my orion 275rhcca amp at 1ohm and it was slammin UNTIL it started to rattle

So after i removed it from the box i noticed that the whole spider assembly came unglued from the basket/spider landing . Now this is my question I'm sure that its covered under warranty but what are my chances of reglueing it my self? It's not about if i can do it but rather will it be worth it in the long run so to speak. I don't think it will be a problem aligning the coil as it seems to rest snugly in one spot where the LITTLE bit of glue originally was.

I have a pair of them and I'm only using one at the moment so time of getting another one back from PE isn't a problem but

I hate the hassle of sending shit back for warranty when something like this shouldn't of happened in the first place

Also what type of glue? Simple 2part epxoy/jbweld?

Anyways thanks in advanced,Joe

You can epoxy it in place IF you can align the coil right.

I'm thinking about warranty, a bad glue joint is a bad glue joint, contact PE, see what they have to say

Ya I emailed Kyle from Tc sounds and he said just send it back an they will fix it if not they just ship me out another + reimburse my shipping. So thats not that bad.

Very surprised that it's covered actually.. that's a problem typically very obvious by not having a SSF set properly and overextension of the woofer.

Or just cause TC is now Chinese made.. idk

The one I've seen detached (it wasn't a TC sub) was a combination of both but most of the fault was bad glue prep on the basket. Ever since I epoxied it back, everything is cool.

how old are the subs?

Bought them around 5 months ago. I bought the 12s and then the 15" top Assembly's so i can switch form the 12s to the 15s by just switching the tops. I had the 15s in my escape and took everything out to redo the box but never got around to it cause of the all of the snow so i just threw one of the 12s in for some tunes. Now this is the kicker, after i took the first one out and contacted kyle/thilo i put the 2nd 12 in and it didn't last 5 minutes and the same thing happened. Talked to thilo on the phone and he said that there was several from a run that had that problem and they thought that they had found them all. No problem tho they are being sent out and they are going to fix/replace them and refund all my $ for shipping. Shit happens i guess

Not trying to be a douche, but have you checked your SSF? I understand the situation, but i would make sure it's not a combination with the other equipment in the situation. Don't want to have the same thing happen to the new ones.

Don't mess with you will have to remove the dust cap to properly align the coil, contact parts express.

They don't have dust caps its one solid cone.

The ssf is set at 30hz same as the box is tunned to thats also the first thing that i checked. I thought at first that i had it set lower. After talking with Thilo he assured me that they were some of the subs from a bad run that all had the same problem.

Yep there should be ALOT of glue in there. One would think

I hate to tell you but that is a dust cap. What do you think the voice coil is attached to? And how do you plan on shimming the coil when you glue it?

If you read my other posts I'm not gluing it. They are being sent back to Tc sounds.
