I thought reconing my funky pup with BTL softparts would make it louder... there goes that idea... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

...not just any softparts that happen to fit in the Motor.

Does that sound like anyone??? Hmmmmm

You DO NOT use another subwoofer's built parts to recone a different subwoofer.
Get this OUT OF YOUR HEAD KIDS!!! WOW.

If you have a XXX, you don't just recone it with "Q parts" or "BTL Parts" or "Jackmeoff Parts"...

The recone will be parts MADE for the XXX, made with the correct alignment and top-plate spacing, gap-size and such in mind. Most subwoofers share the same style parts, such as spiders and coils, and definitely cones/surrounds... but in different stiffnesses and configurations.

So, you don't take "BlahBlah soft parts" and drop it in a XXX. Doesn't work that way.

Just a friendly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif as this REALLY drives me insane.

In general you are correct, but in this case we are talking about one of the principal designers from Desjitl/RE who is now with Fi - so he might have some knowledge of the RE subs

Incorrect. The new XXX's still use a 3" Flatwound coil. (As do the MT and SX). So they still have that part, and I reckon they also have 8.5" spiders (since they're used on the SE, SX, MT), as well as standard cones... used on those lines as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

So, kthnx.

Aside from Noah having a mild fit...(turrets possibly?)...yeah...ill call it turrets

...Might beable to recone the XXX...as others have said email, if it can be done then sure...i'm not totally sure if there's a stock coil that'l fit the XXX gap...

..It'd be a frankenwoofer like others have said, so dont expect the same preformance...if there is a stock coil that'l fit it.

Thanks

But if it looks almost the same, doesnt that mean it is the same?You know how the mag and q look like one another, so that means its the same sub?

I bet you could have SI recone your Q and it would be just like a mag. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif
