Members YourHerodDGC Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 A friend of mine sold me a 2 x 15 sunn bass cab for cheap because it wasn't working. I figured out where the problem is. One speaker works just fine. The other one has a loose connection within the speaker. I can kind of wiggle it around and the sound cuts in and out. Is it possible for me to resolder something in there or have someone do it, or do I have to buy a new speaker all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belt Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 I'd say take a look at the loose connection. If when the circuit is closed, there is a good sound then you should be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YourHerodDGC Posted July 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Well it sounds fine when I poke at the loose connection. I'm pretty handy with an iron. I've just never spent any time inside a speaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Belt Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 I've not done it either. But I don't think you could mess anything up as long as you don't touch the iron on anything or tear anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Belt Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 that's how I always see things. I have screwed stuff up before though. Playstation 2's aren't easily repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amp_surgeon Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 If you can actually see where the break is then you can probably fix it without screwing anything up. If it's in one of the wires leading from the lug to the cone then just make sure there's plenty of slack in the wire after you make the repair. If it's in the wire after it passes through the cone and heads down into the dust cap then make sure you bond the wire to the cone after repairing it. A little black fingernail polish will work dandy for this.I remember when Sunn speakers were guaranteed for life. If you ever blew one out, they'd replace it for free - forever! I miss those days!

Members MakuseruSukotto Posted July 6, 2008 Members Share Posted July 6, 2008 Playstation 2's aren't easily repaired. Agreed. I had a first generation one, fixed it many times, last year it broke, and I figured I would fix it one more time, so i 'fixed' it with a hammer.

Awesome. Thank you. It seems the problem area is right under the little cardboard (or whatever) piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
