Subwoofers / Speakers

hey, posting this up for future reference for people that might need the info i have an old 12" claw basket mag and the surround is torn on it. i am wondering: 1- is it possible to get a recone on it? or do you guys only do the new subs 2- if it is possible, is it possible to keep the same look of the old mag? or would it look like the new ones after the recone? 3 -and how much would a recone cost thanks

ok guys, i messed up my recone pretty bad...i used the 10 minute epoxy...and i guess i didn't mix it right bc its just tacky and still not dry. it has been sitting on my counter for well over 5 hours...what should i do?

Can you recone a 12" to a 15" if you get a larger basket?

Just finishing my first recone, changed my 12" icon to an 18. Everything is done except soldering the leads... They're not sandwiched leads; but the loose leads with the pad on the cone to prevent tinsel slap. The tinsel leads seem really long. How much slack should I leave?

OK... got a recone for my SPL-15 motor but I have some questions. They might seem dumb but i have never done a recone so i have to ask. 1. the Spiders on the recone are smaller than the original and do not sit in the same spider landing... it does seem to fit fine a couple landings down though..? this OK? 2. the coil from the recone is much short than the oginal as well...? 3. I didn't get any shims/spacers or whatever you want ot call them...? what should I use? pics are coming... When i ordered it, it was suppose to be run on a 4Kw @ 1ohm, now it will be on a 2000D @ 1ohm instead...

i want to get louder but im on a budget, so someone told me that i could recone my 15" Fi SSD to an 18".... how hard is this to do or am i required to send it off and get it changed? Iv never done this before so all information and recommendations is helpful Also, what difference in loudness would i notice the box will be 6 cubes at 32Hz. in advance, Thanks

is it true you can re cone a sa sub from a 12 inch sub to a 15 inch sub if so how is this possible ?

There's a chance I may need a recone or something (hope not ), my sub amp has been cutting out the last two days and the protection light was on. Gonna take a DMM to the coils sometime soon. but my question is........would there be any gain by reconing my older model D2 with the new Mag's soft parts? Or do you think I should just get a new Mag?

So, I have a sundown ZV4 15 that I bought off someone online. I knew it had been previously reconed. I've only had it for about 3 months and now only when it hits higher bass notes like 45hrts and up I get this annoying vib. Anything under 45hrts even low 20's it sounds beautiful. Did the person that previously reconed it do something wrong or what. And how do I go about building a new kit?

ive got a chance to pick up a blown 12'' AA avalanche, is it possible to put any sort of SI soft parts on the sub? i dont really remember is the ava is a 2.5 or a 3'' VC. thankies much.

Hello, and thanks in advance for your answers or comments! . ok. i have an older style fi btl 18 fully loaded. i blew it. i have it taken apart and the ring where the foam lip is located is completely clean. 1st question. 1. what is the best method to remove the leftovers from where the spiders were. ( about 1/4 inch of spider and alot of glue) i tried to use a dremel tool but it made bad odors that i didnt think would be good to breath in. i also tried a metal brush in my drill "was going VERY slow" and a knife didnt work well either 2. what type of glue do you use when you recone and is it something i can pick up at any hardware store? 3. is this something not to har…

Well, no return to my Email, or my PM on CA and I dont beleive your on ****, this is the last place I can try. Its weird, Mach5 is usually really good at returning my Emails. I am interested in knowing when I can order SVC2 ohm recones. I need 2 Recones and 1 basket (needed 2 but I found one MJ basket quicker then you guys responded). If I cant order them yet, please let me know when I may be able to order them, instead of ignoring me. Also if you could PM me a price for 2 SVC2 recones + 1 basket shipped to 53597 that would be great. I know the SCV4 price, but I know the driver price changed a little. Please give me confidance in your company again. I am starting to regr…

I am loving how this sub sounds. Its pretty decently loud and I have my gains turned a hair.. I have dual 2 coils the dcr registered in @ 1.8 on my dmm I have the sub wired down to 1 ohm on my Saz-1500d here is a few pics of the the sub after the recone. Thanks Scott for the recone.

Alright so my cousin just poppped his RE SE 12 the model from 06. So i got a quote from Fi. 180 bone stock He has the hifonics 1608D 1600wrms @1 ohm and the audiocontrol epicenter. But there are alotof options at Fi so wich ones would be good.Like an extra spider? he doesnt want them to pop again

I have 3 Soundstream Exact10's (Love them btw) Each one has its own issue. Now Soundstrem doesnt carry a recone for this sub. I'm new to the whole reconing thing. So I dont know where to source parts and materials needed Is there anywhere that I'd be able to get one or one that will work? Any help/suggestions greatly apprecited

Hey guys need help with a rec one I need to do any help greatly appreciated

Okay so i have a powerbass pb-b125dv2 and it is popped and i want an fi recone. I was going to get the re se recone from them. I was going to change the gasket to 12 spoke and buy the recone and drop it in. Will this work. And it is a DVC sub. Is this possible. The sub is pratically new.

Ok I'm a old db drag competitor since 97 to 02 .I want to get back in to it a little bit .I want to hit a 150db's on the new Mic's . I have a set of the old VFL'S extremes 15's.I want to change them in to FI BL's can that be done ? All this is going in to a Buick raininer.amps, are powerbass new 5000D's two or maybe four of them.

Has anyone heard of Hammer-tite 10 second bond? I'm wondering if I can use it to do a recone

Does anyone make a recone that would work for a JL 15w6? It has a 2.5" VC on it... Here is a link to it... http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=2730 I guess i could recone it myself but im not sure if anyone makes anything that would work for it and idk if JL can do it because it isn't made anymore... Any help would be appreciated....

Anyone know where to get a kicker l7 reconed in the oklahoma city,yukon,mustang area.

looking for a recone thats off brand th@t will fit the MOFO 152X model ... maybe someone can put me in the rite direction

So I currently have a 12" SSA Icon on a sundown sae 1200 in 2 cu ft enclosure tuned to 32 hz. I'm wanting to try something new and came up with the idea to recone it to an 18 and run it in a 4.5-5 cu ft sealed enclosure. I know it will have a flatter response but am I going to see a nice increase in output? I would assume because of the large cone area difference. I thought about trying a different sub but I like my icon and have always wanted to try a 18; and it'll be cheaper than purchasing a different sub. Will I be disappointed? Can anyone point out differences like pros and con's, lol. Any help is appreciated

I've heard people changing sizes of the sub when they do a recone, so I guess my question is how? Don't you need the correct basket size or can you recone a 15 or 18" basket into a 12"?
