RnRDave Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hello all, I just picked up a bargain cab. Unfortunately during transit the tweeter has become loose. Upon opening the cab it looks like it should just screw back in but it doesn't. Any way I can secure it? Glue it in? Replacement tweeter housing? Open to any advice/suggestions.

BassAdder60 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Looks like it’s threaded ? But perhaps the threads are stripped ? Superglue back in place would maybe work Edited November 8, 2022 by BassAdder60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Before superglue... check its not a LH thread... Maybe try a light wrap with ptfe plumbers tape if ya have any knocking about... at least it will come back out if needs be.

Bill Fitzmaurice Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I can't tell if those are threads or just ribs but either way it appears that the horn is stripped to the point that it won't hold. I'd use epoxy to secure it. There should never be a need to separate them, as a replacement driver and horn would come as a unit. Do not use superglue, it can destroy some plastics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Six weeks or so later what was the result?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnRDave Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 PTFE tape seems to be holding it true. Although it hasn't moved much in 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm glad you got it sorted Dave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
