Does anyone have any tips on how to fix a blown flux wire. I now have two subs with blown flux wires and would like to fix them.
And does anyone have any more info on how they blow. i know they blow to keep the voice coil from overheating (i think) but really im unsure and i am obviously doing something wrong if i now have two different subs blown for the same reason
thanks
ps the subs are a Adire Audio Brahma 12 and a Kicker Solobaric L7 15

i dont know why they do it, but its not too hard to fix. ive done this to 2 of my 12s before and i just soldered the wire back together. it was a little tricky getting the solder to stick, but once it did i didnt have another problem with it. the only thing id suggest if youre going to try to solder them is becareful of the cone and dont put on too much or the wire will be all stiff and break again once you really get those subs going.
"Flux Wire"? You mean the small fusable links that are found in some subs? These are designed to protect the voice coils from overpower and are set just below the thermal limit of the sub. If you are blowing these, you are either overpowering the sub or your amp is clipping badly (or your enclosure is very poorly designed and constructed.) These should never blow if your system is designed and set up properly. If you "solder new wires" or bypass the links, you have voided the woofer warranty and you may be setting yourself up for a blown woofer. They should be replaced only by factory authorized service centers. Actually they should never blow unless you just simply have not set up your system safely...
The correct team is Flux wire or tinsel lead. And hello jvillefinest,
The reason they are blow is usualy excessive power or heat.
You wanna make sure your speakers are clipping or distorting.
Ah, tinsel leads. What I said still goes. If you are burning these you are doing something desperately WRONG. Too much power is reaching your loudspeakers and you are getting lucky that it is just the tinsels that are seperating.
It may be a manufacturing defect that is causing the tinsel leads to touch during play. This would cause marks on the tinsel leads or even one breaking.
