ummm, how did you get the shims out? or did you just "center" the coil in the gap by eye?

Right see you need to shim the coil in the gap so it dont rub on the pole. Or them spiders are smaller then 8 in and fit in the next landing ring on that basket. To set the coil in the gap with out it hitting the pole you need to shim. if not its possabe to hit or when the sub moves up and down its surround dont move proper and deforms.

Im sure is sackett had it glued down then he knew it wouldnt need shims, he's been doing this long enough to know.

So you throw how many years youve been doing this into the mix to try to make yourself look right when it could go either way. Start a thread and ask how many people have used drop in re-cones without shims and shit. Some people use them and some dont, both ways obviously work or people wouldnt still be doing either option.

its all good i know every drop in i seen the cap was never glued so they can shim it.

lulz. I never said it was. I know some drop ins do not require shims though. i thought it was pretty cute though.

there are like ZERO drop ins that do not require shims bro. even Flatline's and IDMAX's require shims. but i used a good amount. tc9 gaps are fuggn huge! have that 8layer in there with room to spare easily!
