Repair parts for Fender woofer?

[saabracer23]

I have a cab that uses a pair of 15” Fender P.S. 15Bs. They’re quite nice and from what I know they’re made by Guass. Unfortunately one of the woofers has some pretty major coil rub so it needs a recone.

I’ve done many recones in the past so confident in the ability, but I want to make sure I get the right parts. It looks to have a 4” coil. I did some looking and I don’t know, can anyone point out the parts they’d use to rebuild this?

Thank you,
Dan

Here is one source. There are many others.

Thank you, I saw that one and is part of the reason I came here. I thought it might work even though it says it’s Electrovoice, but then I saw that the coil the kit comes with is only 2.5”. This one is definitely larger. Where the cone meets the spider is exact same diameter as the dust cap and it’s definitely 4”, so that kit wouldn’t work.

Could it potentially be this one? 4” coils are a little harder to source, but you might luck out.

It’s worth browsing the site, maybe giving them a call. They’ve always had all sorts of parts. Finding a new cone and surround are probably the easy part.

I’ll certainly give them a call! That looks like it would work.

Thank you!

Might want to pop the dust cap and measure ID with calipers. May be slightly under or over 4”. They have several 3.9” on the same page. They look like lower-x-max designs, though. If you do end up pulling it all apart you can measure the winding depth. That one I was looking at looks like a bass guitar or subwoofer coil - should have a decent stroke.

I did see several 3.9 as well, good call.
