Where is a good place to get Recone's? I have some cerwin vegas I would like to recone....
Thanks

Good luck, unless it's a 3" coil... most places won't offer recones, except the original manufacturers.

hey ngsm13,

is that an arbiter ht set in a pe enclosure?

looks like a br-1 with the vifa tweet in place of the larger stock tweet and the poly mids on the bottom.

Yessir it is.

I actually picked up the enclosures for free @ the PartsExpress tent sale this year... they were banged up and missing grills and such. So that's the only reason I'm using them... too lazy to build some nice looking ones myself right now.

I'm using a BostonPro xover on them right now as well.

Where do you guys get your recone kits from? At the worst I could change the Magnet.

cool, is that the vifa that AA sells with the arbiter ht?

i thought they all had the big HT mounting flange, so they wouldn't fit in a car install very easily //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

how's that crossover working out for you? why didn't you just make the AA designed one?

do you still have the poly mids in your truck? what crossover do you / did you use with them?

btw, i have the BR-1's and they sound GREAT with my vintage marantz speaker for stereo home audio use //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

good price too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

If you change the motor and get a recone kit, then you have just bought a new subwoofer that will perform nothing like the original you had...

For a Cerwin Vega, call Cerwin Vega Most manufacturers like that will only do in-house recones though.

nope, small flange. I use them in my truck.

Works very Well.

why didn't you just make the AA designed one?

I was actually the first person to buy the AA poly's and XT25's from Ascendant. Few weeks before they were even put on the website. EhRon (B&W_EE) and I designed our own xovers based on testing... just haven't built them yet. This was just a temporary deal... since this extra set had been sitting around for months and months.

do you still have the poly mids in your truck?

My permanent mids are XXX6.5's, but currently I have the AA Poly's in.

what crossover do you / did you use with them?

Alpine 9835 HU Active

Completely useless in his case.

Precisely. Contact CV. That's it.

cool, thanks for the info.

i e-mailed chad a few months back about a passive crossover design for car audio use, and he said he didn't have one, and that all the vifa's had the large mounting flange //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

here's my home audio speakers





even cheaper than your setup //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
