piecing together recones from parts

[BLD 25 10+ year member]

wow! What a derail for the most part. Thanks NG for the comments. I could get the parts for like$35, but it may be better off to do a recone kit instead.

if you are buying the parts for $35.00, then you are buying crappy parts

Not neccesarily "crappy" more like inexpensive stock 2.5 inch v.c. sub recone parts

I'm sure if he wanted much more high end parts that could be arranged also. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

To the OP, it is not to difficult but it is imperative that you take accurate measurements of what you are fitting and give those to your parts supplier if you want to make sure they fit.

Problem is, some of those parts suppliers expect you to buy 50 spiders minimum on your order //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

just need to track down some suppliers. Though pierce audio is a one stop shopfor parts it can be pricey.

Maybe we should post a parts suppliers list on here, and petition for a sticky?

^ Not a bad idea..

Contrary to what ng said I think it's a lot better to piece together a kit rather then get a 'drop in' (that is unless the 'drop in' is specifically for your woofer) Chances are it won't be the same coil and won't be centered properly with the topplate, otherwise..

I've heard PAP recones are a bit pricey... but $35 + shipping sounds pretty hard to beat for a 2.5" coil + kit...

I'm not talking about a generic one size fits all drop-in... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I was speaking of ordering a drop-in for your specific woofer, as opposed to ordering the pieces separately but at a cheaper price.

Well there are some instances where you just cant get a drop in replacement, for example such as a sub manufacturer that went out of business.

Lets identify some manufacturers that I know off the top of my head :

Precision Econowind (voice coils)

NuWay Speaker Products (spiders, surrounds and cones)

Bob Smith Industries (CA Glue)

SJA Atomic (coils, cones, whole assemblies)

I cant think of any more at the moment, but im sick and dying over here today from the flu //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I was thinking more along the lines of listing companies or individuals that will sell recone parts to whoever... I've got a whole sourcebook of manufacturers from around the world; but it would be pretty pointless in listing them all since they won't deal with the general public...
