Re Destroyer ?'s

[jailhouseracer8 10+ year member]

I just picked up a 15" Re destroyer. I might plan on getting another one to make a pair, but ill probably just run this 1 for now in my 99 suburban. What is a good recomended box size, ported of course, and to what tuning? Also, what would be a good amp for this on a daily basis? How much power will it take without pushing it to its limits? And from anyones personal experience, if any, how do these sound? thanks alot, and all input is welcome! thanks alot, Ed

Not many were made. I was thinking less than 30. If you want a pair, I suggest snagging the next one you see for sale.

Beautiful driver.

I have a couple... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

BTW, there were ~40 made and they were all blank-dustcap 15"s with the "charcoal-splattered" 12 spoke baskets.

You might want to reconsider these, the failure rate is pretty high on these things. Especially if you push em to the limit.

 

[jailhouseracer8 10+ year member]

well, i probably wont push them to there limit.....around 2k...maybe a tad less. Why such a fast failure rate? Also, i heard that Tuan had something to do with these subs...either helped make them, or used them....not, sure, and heard it from a friend....so was just curious

Also, who all can recone these? I figured Re could...but who else? Is it the recone thats meaking them fail...or is it something with the motors?

Nope- FI does not recone 4" drivers.... Tuan can recone em. he has the parts for it...

 

[jailhouseracer8 10+ year member]

So did Tuan build these drivers? or were they auctually a line sold by Re?

The las time that I was in Tuan's shop he couldn't find any recone, IDK if he still has any.
