Venting Voice coils

[jaybird]

For you reconers That ocasionally have to use aftermarket voice coils, what is the best way you have found to vent them?

[edgewound]

I usually don't, but if you must....slip the VC over a wooden dowel or some other cylinder, shimmed snugly. Use a leather punch and hammer to make your vent hole. Good luck. Your cylinder needs to be solid enough to take a hammer strike without going out of round.

I think you get the idea. Maybe you could come up with your own, better solution if that one doesn't suit you.

Thanks Edgewownd, I don't feel comfortable about doing, even with a new paper punch!

[edgewound]

You're welcome Jaybird.

Don't use a paper punch...it'll just screw up the VC former. It can't punch without distorting the collar....that's why you need to back it up with some sort of die.

There is no other way.

[Maron Horonzakz]

Yes there is !!!!!!!

[Guido]

Really ?

[edgewound]

Yes there is !!!!!!!

So why don't you enlighten us, so we will be better humans?

(Frankly...I don't give a sh**)

What did they do before you were born?

Before this turns into war, lets not call each other names.

FWIW, I wouldnt attempt to ventilate a VC former myself, maybe a skilled reconer should do this as you are doing something the manufacturer didnt.

[edgewound]

What a stupid suggestion

What did they do before you were born?

Well Scotty...for some unknown reason... Mr. Maron has decided to turn this into a war, with his unfounded "stupid" remark....that he so conveniently deleted...and then his last quoted comment. Maybe he could explain the need to be a jerk...or maybe he can't explain and it just comes naturally. Some people can't help themselves...I'll say a prayer for him.

Edgewound your all wound up. Take your medication & calm down. There is a solution. Go through your Voice Coil mags its in there. You want me to do your home work too? Dont be so thin skinned. A little more study & you can graduate from speaker school.

Seems to me you forgot your meds today, Maron. I'm fine....What's your problem?

Well...I've tried to refrain...but it's awfully difficult to let you get away with it. My skin is thick enough....you're just an *******....and you asked for that.

[Maron Horonzakz]

Edgewound....I,m fine too.....But there is a solution to cooling that VC.....THINK....And stop Huffing around.
