Im pretty sure all the older RE subs use glued on felt pads. Its a fairly common band-aide these days. I know my xxx's have them.

It is common, most my subs have them...

Well it is pretty rare around here. And the fact that most people on this forum haven't heard of it proves my rarity point.

Considering Onyx was based in the NW Indiana area, it's not surprising to find that driver tucked away in someone's stock room.

And the only reason not many have heard of them is because they went out of business several years ago, before many of the n00bs on here joined. Just the same as Adire will be a forgotten brand in the not-too-distant future.

They were built by Destijl, and IIRC many of the Onyx lines used equivalent motors to many of the RE lines of the time. For example, when there was "some kind of problem" with the motors for one of the series for the Onyx (Onyx claimed they were "B" stock & didn't meet their spec, RE claimed Onyx simply never paid for the motors so they kept them), RE put a cover over the backplate of the Onyx motors & used them on their HC series......indicating that the Onyx motors were extremely similar if not identical to the motors used on RE's HC line.

Went into a local shop the other day. they have a used round solobaric 8 sitting on a shelf. They said they'd take $40 for it. I haven't seen an 8" version in a long time. I almost bought it just for that reason.

Wow, thanks for some of the info.

Onyx LSM 10"

D4, 3" coil

Same exact thing as an 02-03 RE SE.

.... I wonder if we (RE/Destijl) ever even got paid for that sub. Maybe they hid it from the repo man.

EDIToooh I built your sub too! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Yes, it's an Onyx LSM10, but they were all Dual 3 ohm VC's, not D4's. Car Sound Rated it one of the 10 Best Subs of the Year back then.

And yes David, you got paid for this sub, just like you did all the rest. How do I know? I wrote the checks! You're "we didn't get paid" crap is getting old! You'd think after 6 years you'd get tired of saying that... But I guess you have to say something, and the truth would just make you look bad.
