Can voicecoils be fixed?

[JiMiH]

I think my friend has screwed the voice coils in his speakers and I wanna fix them for a challenge.

Can this be done at all. By looking at the speaker there isn't too much to it.

The speakers are JBL 6x9s

Yes speakers can be re-coiled. For a pair of 6x9s I wouldn't bother though, needs specialist tools.

have u checked the speaker to make sure its the VC?

gently push ur cone in and do you hear a scratching sound?

voice coils can be repaired usually ppl send their speakres down to total recoil in melbourne as they are renowned for great repairs..

hey dood who's speakers ?
dont do it, it would be such a bitch of a job to do it right !

[Motormouse]

Don't bother, just buy some new ones. The parts cost more than the replacement speaker would.

Pete they're from Cliff's system.

They stopped working and he bought some splits.
So I thought I'd try to fix the JBLs and then chuck em in my car when I sell it :)

Since those thieving scum kicked my front speakers in :mad:

Cheers though guys for the info.

I'll second the guys at Total Recoil - they do a marvelous job

Its not something you should try at home even though I did, bourght some surround for a speaker that the surround cracked away and I did it pretty good, I'm sure the pros will do it better.

If the speakers are worth more than $150 each then its most likely worth fixing them up, if not then just buy new ones....

Cheers
