hi, i have a 12" type r that needs a recone (burnt vc) and since i can get a new one for almost the same price for a recone kit i figure that i would try to do a hybrid sub with it. but here is my problem. the type r uses a 2 " diameter vc and the basket has an opening for that size vc. so while i was looking around and i could find any sub that had a 2" vc that was worth doing something like this to. so i was wondering if anybody knows any subs that uses 2" vc. and also if anybody could tell me how a type r gets a burnt vc from only 375 watts. i see that tc sounds epic have a 2" diameter vc.

I'd bet money that more power than that was involved...

na it was a phoenix gold OCTANE-R 15.0:1 wired in series parall with 2 dvc2 ohm type r's and i know atleast one has a burnt vc because i just took it apart the other day because the surround was starting to come loose from the basket.

You probably had the gain set to high and you clipped the shit out of it.

Sending a square wave signal to a sub is a surefire way to fry it.

oh well they are cheap enough.( got them for free)

why would you recone that? throw it away and get something that actually sounds good.

i was going to try to do some kind of hybrid sub out of it. but i might just throw it out.
