Need some cones, 12" and 15"

Looking for the cones that were floating around last year or so, kinda like the old school Orion HCCA drivers that TC built - paper with large rubber surrounds.

Need a 12" and a 15".

Thanks!

Aluminum cones with high roll surrounds will do fine also, as long as it's the thin rubber.

I got a couple 15" pulp cones with thin rubber surrounds, unfortunately I won't be home to do anything about it for a couple weeks. If you're still in the market PM me last week of the month.

Sweetness, thank you.

Cones! Anything, just no foam surrounds.

Hey Shane there is a 12' white almn cone with nbr surround on caco.

I think that's the thick surround, broham.

I honestly haven't seen one of those cones yet. I've dealt with the honeycomb one a long time ago.

Clear your pm's yet?

Sorry, cleared my PM's.
Yep, the honeycomb and white alums have the thicker surrounds. Forces a higher resonance.

Duh... Forgot to mention that I'm mostly in need of cones for a 3" coil but I could also use a 15" cone for a 2" coil.

Thanks!

Someone asked what thin means... Just the thinckness of the rubber. I need a tall or wide surround, but thin rubber so it's easy to move. See what I mean, yo?

try mass loading the cone on the back side its not like in a small driver that will run out of oooph its car audio you can just toss some more power at it to make up for the losses

Indeed. Normally, I wouldn't think twice about it and I would go that route but this build will utilize an LMS coil. With the low BL associated with these designs, I'm already starting with horrible efficiency so throwing more power at it to make up for the difference will put me in the thermal compression arena worse than what is already expected. Good tip, though!
