[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7428226, member: 614752"] I haven't bought a cone yet that doesn't come with surround. You will need tinsel leads (though some spiders have them built in). You will definitely want to keep some acetone and rag on hand for cleanup. You'll glue your fingers together a lot if you're doing it right. You should know your goals somewhat to select appropriate parts, but from my experience when dealing with very strong car audio motors softparts don't make a ton of difference. The motor is the dominant factor. Coil weight/length will make a bit of difference, but mostly just get a cone sturdy enough to handle your power needs, add enough spiders to handle your power (I use 1 spider per 1000W I plan to throw at it, but that's somewhat dependent on the type of spider). I would suggest sticking to 3" coil stuff and baskets with 8" spider landing. That will give you the maximum variety of parts to pick from and you won't get hosed on prices like a lot of the fancier and 4" stuff. Find a motor with a big gap for preference as it'll be much more forgiving to a slightly misaligned coil and again give you more parts choices. [/QUOTE]
