BTL Recone...D1 to D2

[Canaan 0]

Ok, I have an older BTL18 that was originally a D1 (written on the pole) and its in need of a recone.

The owner got ahold of a D2 BTL18 kit, and I got the basket cleaned up and ready.

It an older non-woven tinsel kit.

But, I have it a snag...the D2 coils OD is noticeably larger than the D1.

I have the kit shimmed and in the gap, but is this kit going to work???

Or will the coil hit the top plate when playing?

Its a tight fit, but does have some space.

Anyone make the D1 to D2 switch?

Please reply soon...the owner is in need of a sub.

yep, i'm on ecoustics.

I dug around a little bit and think I answered my own question.

And the answer is grim

Looks like the owner will be sub-less until he can get another D1 kit...seems the D2 recone will not happen.

Unless your BTL has the Universal option, you're stuck with 1 ohm recones.
