i was thinking of the new XXX's but i might not have the room they require. I think i might jus stick wit the SX's and put them at dual 4 to see what they will do. I hope Orion sends me the new 5000d cause i sent mines back to get looked at cause something went wrong with it. Is there anyway i can recone the subs myself to make them dual 4's or should i jus send them back

Lex, id just get the original spider set-up..you can get a smooth dust cap like the xxx, but they wont send you one with the xxx logo on it for the hc....

basically, you can only have a 3" voice coil, pretty much any coil config from quad .7ohm to single 4ohm.
spiders are for the application, the softer the more efficient and less power, harder is more geared toward SPL. the SE has dual soft spiders i believe, and the MT has quad stiff (you can get them made to spec, but thats a common config)

at least thats my understanding.

so yes, re can recone it. and many other places who use 3inch coils could too. think digital designs, incriminator, ect. i think soundsplinter only uses 2.5's.

email and ask different companies!

your understanding is incorrect...has nothing to do with effeciency.

...and SS uses a tc9, which has a 3" coil.
