Dust Cap Question

[bumpin buick 5,000+ posts]

Are dust caps specific to each sub? Also if so is this dependent on the cone or the voicecoil? I'm asking because I would like to get some carbon fiber caps to put on my treo or mt. Has anyone done anything like this?

They aren't specific to the sub but you have to make sure to get a cap that will fit over the coil. For example the MT uses a 6-7" dustcap I believe and has a 3" coil. You would have a hard time fitting a smaller 3-4" cap on it because it would be resting right on the coil.

Another thing to look at is if it already had a cap there will be a portion where there was glue that you will probably want covered so you need to get the same size as you took off.

DD will sell one of their cf caps for like 40-45 bucks..

Well I got a recone kit shipped to me and the coils are 3"s but the caps are huge like 8" i was thinking of buying a little smaller CF cap or making one by using a cap from MT as the mold.

yeah markup on cf dustcaps is unreal, I think the ones for my DEE DEEZ were $30 each. considering they're only like 5 dollars to make, its a ripoff.

I too have been looking for a new vendor to sell me some CF dustcaps at a reasonable price...the last guy I bought em from no longer sells em so im kinda stuck out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif
