Thank you for the video! This is perfect and has built my confidence to recone a $900 DJ subwoofer I have!

hey Parker question where did you get the ring terminals to put on to the speaker leads coming off of a drop in recone I'm in the middle of rebuilding some and I'm looking for the ring terminals to put on their everything I find is either too small or too big and gaudy to fit that

It sounds really good man, don't know if I would go pounding full tilt directly after a redone but congrats on it👍

Hello, i got a EDGE Car Audio EDP122SPL-E6 12" Competition Car Sub, around the screw holes where the rubber surround is glued it seems there some leakage, what glue can i use to seal this up?

Did you use sandpaper to clean the old glued down parts, or can I use a wire wheel?

Just a tip for next time. Alternate ur shims so gap isnt all on one side. Coil can move to that side of gap and cause it not to be perfectly centered. Other than that good job bro

Another tip. Invest in some clamps from harbor freight. Get like 6/pk for 2 bucks. So for like 10 bucks u will have all u need for spider and surround. Clamping makes all the difference. Same with building a box. U wouldnt glue it without clamping. Keep up the good work bro. Love watching ur vids and watching u grow both in knowledge for audio and subscribers

So question: Tht soft like material around bottom of cone thts like a card board material, but not can that be fixed??

So if the spider is broken it will still have bass but rattle like a spray can? My sub was sounding good and moving well good bass but lots of noise it was being a little extra lol. And is it worth it to replace the stuff inside or just buy a new sub?

Will one of these recones work for a skar EvL 15

Hey I’m new to bass, Is my RE audio xxx 12 v2 any good?

I am amazed you did not get magnetic crap in the air gap. Use steel wire to work the stuff to the top edge than clean it out.

Would you need to clean the pole area?

I need a drop in recone kit and a basket for this sub. I received one yesterday from D4S damaged and there sending me another new one. I'm stuck with a new motor

Can this recone kit work on skar ddx?

So I don't know if you seen my last comment on another video. I have a 12in txx blue eye candy. That the dust cover came off the coil due to a sealed box and low hz. Most ppl tell me to throw it out but it means a lot to me seeing it was my brother's that has past away. Do they make a re cone kit for this speaker. Don't have to be the blue aluminum style just want to hear the sub play again. I have two 15in. Txx red eye candy and a love the brand. Can you please help me out with my problem, thanks.

Do u take subs for fixing?

Now do a test with the subs inverted and in the box and see if louder or not.

Can you show how to repair the shorting ring? My shorting ring went bad before my cone 🤯

Did that sub get smelly during break in

Great job. I use plastic shims from paper binders. About 4 plastic shims. Just makes the process a lot easier. Is Fi Audio pricey to you? I was one your subscribers that recommended sundown. Excited to see what you think.

it would be nice to know the best direction to face a sub and the port. It seems like there must be some science behind this, yet, we still to this day, see sub pointed in all different directions and ports in all different directions also. I attempted to point my sub up and it sounded like crap. My port points in the same direction as my sub though, so perhaps that was the reason, idk. Has anyone done any testing on this? Overall, in an open style SUV, which direction should your sub face and port? I believe the last thing I read, said, your sub should point towards the front of the car and most of what I've read, also say's that your port should be on the same side of the enclosure as your subwoofer. Thoughts? I, currently, have a Kicker Comp Q in a pre-fab Skar enclosure (I know - I know). I just ordered a Sundown Audio SA12 v2 and it will be here tomorrow. I've never owned a SA or even heard one in real life, so I'm excited. This was also my first time owning a Kicker and I'm not sure if it's the sub or the enclosure or both, but I'm just not overall pleased with it, so I'm curious to play around with my new sub, then have someone build me a custom enclosure for whichever sub sounds best.

SA-12 was my first sub, def worth it. Can take a lot of abuse. After this I got the Audiopipe BDC4-12, it looked great in your comparison with other subs in that range. Would like to see how you compare it to the BDC? BDC4 seems louder.

I'd rather use glue lined heat shrink since solder can corrode and flake apart.

Need to bend the tinsel lead lugs upward a little bit, so there is a little more play in the wire, I dont think I would have cut the leads either.. u was a little sloppy on the glue around the basket, but now u know what u should do better next time.. decent video
