what about this one

That was the Level 6 prototype if I remember correctly. I was hoping he'd use that basket...
He still may, if you read Tuan's posts he said he just threw the 10" basket on the motor for fun. Also, I believe the 12 spoke uses an 8: spider, you need a larger spider for a 4" coil, in the vicinity of 9" or 10" so they probably aren't using the 12 spoke for it.

Yeah, I read the post. I read a thread about the Level 6 prototype a couple of months back on the DC forum @ SMD, and it was pretty much made known that the basket on the prototype wouldn't be a part of the production model. I hope you're right, though. I'd like to see the basket in the prototype make the final production model. The 12 spokes are solid, but they're mundane at this point...

Personally I don't care what basket is being used on the sub, if it meets the mechanical clearances needed and allows for enough ventilation as well as allowing for the correct parts, I am fine, and if the 12 spoke does that, no problem. Again, as long as the basket works for the situation it doesn't really matter what style it is.

I can agree with that, but it would be nice to see something other than a standard 12 spoke once in a while.

That actually wasn't a prototype. I've a motor from a different company if I'm not mistaken. The basket definitely will be different...since it's a 4" coil. I hope that Scott from FI will allow licensing royalties to be used on the Ti baskets. Eitherway, I'm personally working on a new basket design that is actually better than the Ti basket. It's nice having a mechanical engineering background...but the only obstacle: tooling money.

best way to make a new basket is by modding and welding on a 12 spoke or tc. smooth everthing out then make ur mold off that piece and take it to a sand casting shop.

i have machined and modded some baskets over the yrs. we have molds @ work and a casting shop not too far away i have thought about it.
