Question about Kicker Re-Cone

[Harrison486 10+ year member]

Hey guys! What's up?

Alright, here is the deal. I know of someone that has a blow 12" L7. I dont know what year it is. It looks just like this one:

My questions are:

1) Anyone know how much it would cost to get this thing reconed?

2) If I get it reconed, will it end up being like the new 2005 ones or would it still be an older version?

3) How would 1 12" L7 compare to my current 12" CVR?

L7 with the right power, louder....

you can send them in and get a recone, but basically you get a new 2005 new woofer, plus a warranty...

I'm not sure...you can call 405-624-8510 and ask....expect them to be close to retail, but then you get new, and a warranty.

Oh if its anything near retail than f it...

I have just heard about recones from re and stuff for like $60 plus shipping...

Thought maybe I could end up with a working L7 for $100 or less...

I got two CVR15D2s I blew, at least two year models old. They're in new condition otherwise, had an 800.2 on them. I called Stillwater and they said it would be $175 each for the 'return and exchange for new ones' plus shipping on my part, and they can simply not be re coned because of the age. Got a killer box I'm trying to keep..

Question 1. Does anyone else do it, and if there are many what's the best deal?

Question 2. Is it worth my time and (at least) double the money to find L5s or L7s and a new box? Are they that much better?

Question 3. So scratch the Kicker idea, what else would be simply LOUDER round 15s in this ported box I got?

not worth being reconed, you could buy a new one on ebay for the price of a recone

the ones on Ebay usually don't have the given one year warranty neither. I agree the price is too high, but it's off retail is where someone came up with the price.
