Can these overlay or do you have to remove the old caps? I can see myself screwing up my subs trying to put these on. lol

It depends on the stock dustcap, in most cases the stock dustcap must be removed prior to installation.

I see the smaller cap has a nice flare to help with installing/hiding glue. Will the larger ones have that option? If so I may need to have a conversation about large bulk ordering.

Any other colors? Red/Gray or Red/Black perhaps?

The flange on the convex(boob) cap? The concave(dish) caps will hide glue, if that's what you mean.

Any kind of material can be used, cost changes though.

I was referring to the convex cap. I'm not sure I want to do anything with the full/partial cone concave caps.

There are a few options when it comes to white, there is a white and black fiberglass/carbon hybrid cloth, the white is dyed fiberglass, the black is carbon, carbon fiber cannot be dyed, it runs $90/yard, there is also a pure white cloth made of a fiberglass variant that runs about $20/ yard. Either options are viable.

Okay, now I think it is time that I open this up; I currently have 4 10" and 1 12" caps made and ready for shipment. All sizes 10"-18" will be made as they are ordered. The prices are as follows:

10" - $35+ shipping

12" - $45+ shipping

15" - $65+ shipping

18" - $75+ shipping

The fabric used is 11.1 ounce 6K 5HS weave, it has a backing made of 181 aircraft grade fiberglass; two layers of carbon fiber would be much too heavy, these dustcaps are completely hand made, each one is unique and none are identical, their weight will be within a few grams of their plastic counterparts. Also, they must be weighted during bonding, carbon fiber with a slight curve like this has a tendency to bow slightly, once bonded they will be secure.

Please PM me if you are interested.

These are very interesting.

What is the diameter of these dish caps?

wondering if these will fit cones that have big surrounds.

Duran, I pm''d you for a monthly update on my order that I placed with you on November 17, 2012. I received no response.

It is approaching three months since I placed my order for two 15" concave dustcaps for IB315's. I think it is fair for you to issue me a full refund of $149.67 since you have not shipped the product that I ordered from you.

I know there has been issues that are out of Durans hands. I am in the same boat, I have been waiting just as long if not longer and will continue to wait. I have other lines of communication with him and will let him know about this right away.
