Here goes nothin'... I just recently (last week) replaced the tinsel leads all the way to the coil on both Destroyers and yesterday I installed one and got to hear it for about 10 mins before the brittle, bendable, easily breakable coil lost connection where I soldered the tinsel lead to it right above the former. I installed the other one today and the same thing happened. They aren't "blown" persay, just not working. They have no coil rub or mechanical failure other than where the tinsel leads meet the coil. They are only holding me up on other projects and I dont have the time to make the custom monsters I wanted them to be...

This being said, I am selling them either as they are, or $250 + Shipping for each motor. I paid WELL over this amount. Well over $1400 was put in actually. I paid $385 just for one of the motors which was then sent to David @ RE to be fixed and was turned back into a 15" by accident. Luckily a fellow member had a blown 15" Destroyer he was just going to recone so we traded and I proceeded to have it reconed to an 18" I paid $540 and drove to Ohio for the other 18" Destroyer which I tore apart and sent to RE to get reconed fresh with the other. I paid $100 for shipping there, $100 back, and $200 for recones (Dave hooked me up;)) So to say the least I am only looking to get 1/3 of what I spent back on the Beasts I've only had back for less than 5-6 months.

I also have a pair of blown 18" RE HCs sitting here posing no use to me as of now. I was hoping to buy 2 more and make some Badazz custom woofs but that is proving to be a feat. These are REs first Badboy sub. They held no remorse from getting loud as f*ck and sound amazing doing it. I would really like to keep these and buy 2 more HC motors two make the 4 18"s custom like I planned, but thats a no-go until I get some positive leads on another pair of motors. So for now I'm looking for $150 Shipped on each, unless/until I find a use for em...

Lastly, I have a Viper 400.2 that I've been using for about a year. It's a lil scratched up, not bad though, bout a 7.5-8/10. The plug set is missing a internal ground and remote terminal, but I made a metal tube for the terminals that worked fine. It functions great to this day. I had this as a matching set for my Viper d2500.1 and then 2 d1200.1s but they are all sold and long gone. I am selling in hopes of finding a Treo 4/2 channel to match my current amps. $140 Shipped. I'll get some current pics of this up asap.

Those are the pics of the broken Destroyer motor I paid $385 shipped for. I had David fix the motor and he proceeded to recone it back to a 15" not knowing the plans I had instore for these... TheAZNJ had a blown 15" Destroyer he was just gonna recone back to a 15" so we traded and I made one of the 18"s outta his motor. Maybe he will chime in here... So after all that, the motor in those pics is long gone.

Trade a Destroyer for two 12" Rl-Ps or a Garmin Legend Cx portable GPS....

I'm set on subs and nav for the moment. Thanks for the interest though.

hc's are just motors?and one of the destroyers is np with tinsels?

coil config...?

Gimme a pm shipped on one working 18 to 74133...

thanks
All 4 subs are non working but I was just going to sell the motors. I will sell the baskets too if need be. The HCs are blown. The Destroyers would need to be reconed as the assemblies that are in them now don't work because the solder connection I made between the new tinsels and the coils failed since part of each coil snapped off right above the former when I was taking the old tinsels out.

 
Man I wish I had some extra money, I would pick up that viper 400.2. It matches the 1200.1 I just got not too long ago.

If you still have it in a few weeks, it will be mine;)

and maybe I missed it, but did you ever post pics of it?

It matched my d2500.1 and then 2 d1200.1s very nicely. Too bad I need a Treo 4/2 channel these days...

 
- Bumped uP pics for who ever is interested. These beasts are still sitting, waiting for some action...

The two in the middle are the Destroyers and the HCs are on the outer. The other couple are comparing the Destroyer to the HC.
