ok, i got my replacement cartridge back from memphis, i blew up my last one, and they sent me the new 2008 model one. its nicer looking, better sound, and louder, but it doesnt fit onto the 2007 and older magnet! the memphis tech said it does fit, and i double checked and it doesnt. now the magnet has a cover over it, like 1/4 thick rubber, and it drops down about a half inch or so and than flares out. like if i remove the rubber it would fit. but i dont want to cut the rubber off and not have it fit. anyone have this problem or know what to do? thank you guys!

 

you shouldnt have to cut it...it should just pry off

 

is that what i have to do? remove it? once that thing comes off, i dont know if its gonna go back on, its a tight one.

 

you dont need it.....its just there to cover the magnet....doesnt really have a function. Now I dont know if the new cartridge will fit the old motors...but there is only one way to find out

 

ohhh snap. i got the rubber off and it fits! ohhh man. i am sweating from prying on that thing. haha. it finally came off. im gonna put the rubber back on and just cut off the piece that i dont need. so stuff doesnt stick to the actual magnet. thanks for your help. i just have to do it to the other subwoofer now. haha.

 

good luck dude...glad I could help

 

you could really help if you could come remove this other rubber piece! haha. now i just gotta find out the right way to break it in. thanks again

 

Breaking it in is easy, start it off at half the rated power and increase by 10% every two-three days until you're pushing them hard.

 

yeah pry it off
