it is legal, but that is not duct tape. That looks like drywall tape that has been fiberglassed over for ridgity in the cone.

be careful. you run the risk of an unbalanced cone. May equal coil rubs if your spiders are not stiff enough.

He definately found out about the risks, judging from the 2 large rubs and dent in the left side of the coil.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the dents in the coil are from too much power and not enough control.

Totally incorrect.
The user has had no balance problems at all.
This sub was reconed for another reason.
The previous sub had done numerous 170s and multiple deathmatches.
Do not make assumptions on other peoples equipment.

So, what you're telling everyone is that there is no "RISKS" when you alter a cone on the sub. The original post asked if there could be problems with doing what was shown in the pic. You don't have to get defensive about this. No one said that you shouldn't do it, so don't assume I think it was a balance problem. I just pointed out that there are unilateral rubs and a dent in the coil. Everyone else can be the judge on how it happend. Take care and happy holidays.
