    I had the prior HX2 model in 15"s and loved them!! They were absolutely beast for the time, on an 800a2 on each.. beat the shit out of the daily, without issue!

    The 2001 RFR3115 is one of the best sounding subs I've ever heard, so musical and powerful.

    I had an original that I got off a guy on marketplace for $40 canadian… I absolutely loved it!! he had no idea what he was selling me. That was a while back and I regret not holding onto it. When I had the chance to pick this one up, I jumped at the opportunity! fantastic subs!!

    Good video, but I concern myself with the continuous blowing off a what looks like a really dirty cone without any cover over the coil pocket.. could just be stuck on crap idk, Liked the video great job with the stitching especially the last stitch being a difft color. For some reason, I really liked that extra little something that I feel showed a bit more care in the assy side.. again the Older HX2 15's were beast.. I have 15" T2's now, they sit in the closet, but still miss the HX2's.

    i just put a hx2v2 motor on a cerwin-vega 4 spoke 18 basket , lord of bass dual 10 inch spider and spl tall 18 inch cone with carbon 7 inch cap . its for a el-36d box for my room with a crown ce2000 amp . woofer was blown so was the hx2 15 . had too center the basket and drill new holes to mount basket . sandblasted the frame and powdercoated it neon green then got motor remagnatized . old vega frames are cool because they have 6.5 landing and if you grind it out there is a 8 inch landing all ready there . i go 1 further .. vega uses 5 inch deep cones and modern cones are at 4 inch . i make a 10 inch landing out of 1/4 inch steel and at each of the spokes i drill a 5/8 inch hole up to thew the plate then tap it . take a 5/8 grade 8 fine corse bolt and tighten the 4 bolts . weld from under the bolt to the landing . cut the end off fill the hole with weld and grind it flat . powder coat it and now you got a ti basket free ! now in a folded horn it is just flat out insane compared to any pa sub on the market !

    I'm replacing the voice coil in a 15" Dayton Audio Single 4 ohm 800 watt rms 1600 max Reference sub that has a gap measurement of 63.6mm inner and 69.5mm outer, 58 mm deep. The voice coil that came out of it was pretty messed up but measured 64.2 inner, 67.5 outer, winding height 35mm, and the total height was 78mm, but that may be off a little because of how badly damaged it was. My issue has been finding a voice coil that works because they're all either too big or too small, and I've looked all over the planet for one. Even eBay, Lord of Bass, and Dayton Audio themselves don't sell the parts to these woofers and my best option has been getting one made in China, but they want me to buy a minimum of 25 of them and I only need 1. The spec sheet says they're 64mm voice coils but that's the only measurement it gives, and it's all anyone can tell me the measure. The problem is there are no voice coils out there that fit its description. Unless it's a 63.6 mm voice coil but I don't see how when that would be rubbing up against the center of the motor structure. Got any advice?

    unfortunately it’s kind of limited to what’s available. if you can measure the pole vent that would be the best way to correctly identify an appropriate coil ID in this case. i would need to check my shims but it i think an offset of as little as 0.15mm is adequate so a 64.2 mm ID coil would fit a 63.9mm pole vented motor (2x the offset)

    @@MrM_Full-Send That's what I was worried about. Dayton Audio says it's a 64mm voice coil, but there are no 64mm or 64.2, .5, .8 voice coils. There are a few randos on eBay, but they're only 8 ohms with a coil height of only 18mm, and mine was a 4 ohm (resistance 3.4 ohm) 37mm height. Do you know Patrick from Robot Undergound? He's stripping down a voice coil from a dual to a single because the dual makes it bigger than the gap dimensions permit. This is the only option I have left besides buying a large quantity of them from China, or from Lord of Bass, but that's not really an option when I only need 1. If you find one, let me know, I'd be happy to still buy it from you.

    @@MrM_Full-Send should work good. I had my voltage on my system set at 16 volts so I was probably sending somewhere around 1300 watts to each sub. Never had any problems with any of them. Boxes were ported of course. Needless to say the system was pretty loud. Was fun but I got out of big stereos. Was destroying my ears.
