the "rip" doesn't seem to even go all the way through so I do not think it is responsible for the speaker not playing at all. The coils read? What should i use to get a reading? My other 15" works fine and I took the wires and plugged them into the non working one and nothing playing I just do not know why it is not playing.

A week ago I posted in the speaker forum about 1 of my xcons getting hot while the other stayed cool and I figured out what happened with the wires getting mixed up but then today when I fixed the speaker wires the speaker would not work at all. When I push the sub in it is not locked or make any screaching noise. The leads seem to be fine. There looks like there might be a slight tear in the spider. Would a recone fix this or would it need to be sent out? Also how much does 1 cost for 15"xcon If there is anything else anyone can suggest for me to look at the sub or to try it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had double checked the speaker wires and I am almost positive they are all connected correctly. If I by some chance mixed them up wouldn't both speakers have the same ohm load then? After looking at my subs again when I turn them up one seems to be moving more than the other but the one that is not moving as much is the one that is getting very hot. I guess ill take the sub out and take a look at it then redo the speaker wire again just to make sure everything is ok.

I have 2 15" Xcons with a Sundown 3000 with a 1400kinetik in the back. So I let my little brother take the car out to get some food, and he comes back and says, "Your bass is not on...". He knows better than to abuse my system so I go take a look. Seems like he took a sharp turn because the power wire was just barely in. So I decided to clean up the look of the wires and replaced the speaker wire making it shorter, and reconnecting the power wire. I then went for a spin and everything was sound great again... Then all of a sudden I begin to smell something unusual, I have pushed subs before and know the normal smell but there was a different smell, so I turned down my stereo and pull over. One sub is extremely hot and the other is cool...they are both working. Before I go out to mess with everything again I was seeing if anyone on here could give me something to look for or anything, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thx!

am I one of the ones that should be getting confirmation soon? [email protected] Spoke to you on May 5 the 2 15" xcons with a similar box to Sir lancealots

thanks, sounds good. It said if im having trouble with some voltage I might have to get a smaller then stock pulley. Ill be runnin a sundown 3000d with 2 batteries, maybe an extra one in the future. Hopefully everything works out for me

Has anyone ever dealt with or heard about Motor City Remanufacturing Alternators? I know someone that is selling one for my explorer and would like to know how reliable this company is. http://www.motorcityreman.com/index.html is the website Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi someone locally is selling a 300amp alternator for my car, which is a 2003 4.0L Explorer. I know the guy and he said he never used it because he just sold his explorer but he bought it from a place in cali. What should I be looking for to see if the alternator is legit? what tests can I do? Or should I just get a 240amp iraggi alternator? Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks!!

if u wire them together in parallel it will come down to .5 but if you wire the subs in series then parallel you will have a 2ohm load.

hah same thing happened to me once. Was pumping down a busy road and stopped at a red light. A guy was trying to talk to me and I thought he was just gonna complain about my music, but he told me my license plate flew off about a few blocks back haha

Hi, is there any difference to building a box with one side being plexi glass? would it change tuning? Is there a special type of glass i need to use? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you , that was what i was thinking of doing. So basicly what ever the RE calculator says it is tuned too it will slightly raise when I put in the subs correct?

I looked on the kicker website and it doesn't give a desired tuning just size. About how could could I draw up my own plans? I have normally just used the RE calculator but if I can do it myself I wouldn't use that website

If I were using the RE enclosure calculator, do I need to take into account the speakers displacement for the tuning? Should I tune about 1-2 hz below my desired tune hz? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Also does anyone know what a Kicker L7 would like the box tuned to? Thanks!

with the port inbetween the subs.

How was that design written up? and what are the specs on the box? I really want to make a box like that but i only know how to write up slot port designs.

Hi is there a difference in the icons that had the blue dustcap writing, or are they the same specs? Also how does 2 12" icons vs 2 12" Fi ssds flatwind bp, match up? 4cf 33hz box with 2500rms. Any input would be appreciated.

I have no experience with the US amp but my friend has a crunch 3000d on his 15" btl. It has been excellent and never given us a problem, plus he loved the price. Hope this helped you out a little.

they have 5000k Kits? 9006 size bulb

Kicker amps are excellent! I have never had a problem with them, I only wish they were 1 ohm stable but you can't have everything. You can still find the 750.1 cheaper online with a warranty. My 750.1 birthsheet was 874.

Well since your final ohm load will be 2 ohm and you can't change it then go with the kicker. I am runnin an 08 Kicker zx2500.1 for 2 12" Fi SSDs and I love the amp, Kicker amps have never failed me.

Hi and friend and I are going to recone his Fi BTL and we were wondering of some glues to use and where do you get it from? Thanks!

but would'nt that change the internal space?

If I did that I would have to cut out the port too or the baffle would stick out a little.
