Michael T Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi guys. I thought I had blown one of my cloth surround woofers on my freshly restored AR-2axs. The voice coil measured open with my meter. I decided I'd take the cone and coil out just to see what happened. The coil looks fine. So I started looking around a bit and found a broken wire. I scraped away some of the epoxy. I'm thinking that soldering it would be pretty risky. Is there any safe way to repair this wire? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael T Posted April 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Had nothing to lose. Soldering wasn't as risky as I thought, just a bit tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitch Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Nice job on the repair. Be sure to re-glue the repaired wires to the cone or else the vibration from normal use will cause them to break again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete B Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Use hard epoxy to hold down the repair and perhaps 2 or 3 coats, don't use a soft glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael T Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks guys. I tried using clear coat fingernail polish and ended up having it break again. A friend gave me a bit of locktite epoxy. It seems to be a better fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
