Think I'm going to try it, if it does the rated and a little more I will have room to upgrade. I don't see throwing more than 1500rms at this new sub.

Speaker to radio, rca from radio to amp for signal, amp to subwoofer

10/4 thanks bro.

Looking for a Cab 22 in great shape. Thanks

The vad 2700 is the one I'm looking at. Wish I could just get a Cab 22 but they are out of stock. Found one local but it looks rough. I could buy a new smart 3 but I want to try something different.

I used ca on the voice coil, both joints cone and spider. I will try the acetone deal, I have a gallon of it for cleaning my linex guns lol. How long do you soak it?

That just means the pioneer takes less watts to reach it's maximum potential. There will not be a huge difference imo, just fyi.

Saddest thing about utility companies is they are a monopoly. You cant shop around and there is zero competition. I mean you can get off the grid, but that ain't cheap.

The Pride subs I have seen hit pretty hard, not familiar with the model you have listed but it looks like a good sub. Based on wattage alone if your getting 2 it should produce more spl if that's what your after.

I'm looking at their full bridge amps as they are marine certified and I need something semi water proof for the Jeep. The look decent but are probably just like all the other FB Chinese amps. My buddy still doesn't want to let go of his smart 3 so I am looking and figured I should go with a...

Well shit, how hard will one 12 hit? NVM, let me finish the rebuild on the HX2 first lol.

I saw this coming lol.

I will try the acetone if the mini cut off wheel in the Dremel fails me. I went over the cone last time for the coil hookup so I could go under and glue it off at the coil if I have to.

Pretty sure they are W1's, the W3 had a different basket and the W6 as you know we're pretty beefy. Still good subs on moderate power imo.

Really solid answers already. Only way to know is to measure voltage usage with your system at full tilt while car is at idle. And that can change based on idle speed vs 1500rpm and up on the engine. To be safe I would run a decent 180+ alternator and a agm battery in the back.

That can happen, get a good new set and your golden.

What happened to these guys?

1 and 2 are one set, 3 and 4 are the other set. Make sure you have 1 nd 3 together and 2 and 4 together if that makes sense.

I am going to install my Kenwood KMM-X705 Excelon head unit and a set of Infiniti Reference 6.5 mids and tweets in the front. I have a pair of Memphis Audio Power Reference 6.5 3 ways sitting in the garage I am going to throw in the back. The 3 ways hold 50w rms and I figure that would be enough...

I'm going to attempt to save this coil as it's still pretty new, if not I will buy another. And thanks for the offer bro, I may need to hit you up if I do not get it off this time lol.

You got this man! Watch EMF on youtube, he has a lot of good video's

I agree, I tried that route and everything just fell apart or ripped. The only thing I could save was the poly dust cap.

Yeah you would need to do a recone imo. Spider : SKU: GR/ZP084#5 Coil: SKU: VC9434-4-D Cone: SKU: CN1030RSTX I was able to save my dust caps, but you can pretty much use which ever one you want. This is for a dual 4ohm 10" build. Your spider is 8.35" so do not get an 8" spider. You have to trim...

Right on thx bro.

I can set you up with a stock rebuild kit from LoB if you ever want it, have all the part numbers. It will be better than new.

Let's not be hasty, spokey is right.

If your detail oriented you can get it done. Lord of Bass has everything you need.

Yeah I used to much glue on the center cap and it infiltrated inside the coil and was rubbing. The build went great just made a rookie mistake and used medium instead of thick ca glue. I have repaired quite a few subs for friends since then. I know I could just buy a sub but I love these old...

I had the opportunity to talk with a guy who dealt with PSI on several old school fosgate builds and I am following the lesser of the 2 popular builds. The other uses a custom longer PSI coil with the Ti frame and a quad stack of very stiff 10" progressive spiders.

Been trying to design a box through sub box pro and it's coming out pretty good. Only problem is I want to go sub up and port back but it doesn't show this configuration. It shows sub port same side and sub front port side. How much of a tuning difference would there be to build the box in the...

Check to see if the wiring harness between the body and door isn't cracked. A lot of times the driver side harness will crack and break over time because that door gets used the most. I'm replacing both of them in my Jeep this weekend for the same problem plus my windows quit working.

This is the frame I went with, taller than the HX frame but very similar. I wanted to go with a TI frame but this coil simply does not have the winding length for the amount of excursion the 10" spider will produce. I'm looking to have a solid 20 Xmax with this setup and should be happy for a...

Well I decided to build the hx2 again. I'm just going to keep the motor and do a 12" 6 spoke frame, 1800rms 4" dual 2 ohm coil, 9.25" 3 layer nomex progressive spider and a big roll cone. Should be a nice sub, the HX motor is 300 oz so there is plenty of horse powers there. Will post pics...

Welcome bro, lots of knowledgeable people here. Some are dicks and some are cool 😂

Cool thanks for the run down Jimi and Deiimos. I was honestly interested if there were adverse affects of this. Point taken, just learning the do's and dont's lol. You read stuff all over the web and then come here to get the shake down.

Not trying to save money, was just asking if you could play for the impedance rise. When you actually start ripping on a 1ohm sub you can end up around 3-4-5 ohms. Why not start lower?

I was trying to keep impedance as low as possible to combat impedance rise if that was possible. Not trying to blow any amps up.
