Ok forum members so i got a long story but im not gonna get into all of it. Basically I F'd up 1 of my eclipse subs last summer (alcohol involved) I had no idea it would be as difficult as it has been to find 1. So I had to try something a lil diff. my sub is the sw8122.4 I bought an 88120 on ebay cuz I thought it was the same sub, the seller didnt know the model #. My car is in the shop now having my entire system redone. The damaged sub still plays fine but the aluminum is torn where it meets the surround, it has gotten bigger over time, maybe about 2-3 inches. Anyway i took the 88120 to the shop yesterday and after comparing the 2 side by side there are some subtle differnces. The 8122 is a lil bit taller maybe 1/2 inch the cone is a lil diff nothing major. The installers said it should work but there maybe some cancellation issues cuz the 1 sub is diff from the other 3. They got me to thinking about buying new subs altogether but rite now thats not possible cuz I have some other more important things in the works for the car(supercharger in 2 wks) so I def dont have the $ for that.
What do you guys think? I really respect you guys opinions cuz you have nothing to gain from my situation. I know a shop will tell people what they want them to hear to try to persuade them to spend more money with them. So is there any truth in what was told to me? And really with 4 12's and at least 2500 watts is that 1 subs possible cancellation issue really that big of a deal i mean would I even notice it if it was happening? You can check the pic to see the setup. And with the 1 subs cone being a lil different im just going to invert 2 of them. I go to a lot of car shows so the presentation is important to me, I dont do sound comps so I have no clue what my output is but it makes me happy and thats all that matters to me.
