OK, maybe I'm not the only one to have ever had this problem but I don't recall seeing it posted here.
You know those little braided wires that come off the voice coil of a speaker and attach to the terminals? Can those be repaired or soldered? I have a pair of 15 inch speakers that have been sitting in my garage for several years and I discovered when I went to clean them up so I could use them last weekend that the tiny wires had been eaten by mice. Yup, mice got in there and did their thing. One of the speakers has enough wire left to reach the terminals but the other just has little nubs sticking out of the paper cone.
I know those wires ae different and difficult to solder so, short of having these speakers re-coned, (they probably are not worth the money to do that.) Do you think they can be repaired by grafting a short wire onto the nubs? If so, how would that effect the impedence? Is there a trick to soldering them, special flux or something that works better regular electronics solder?
Thanks,
B |
