rebuild sub for fun?

[ChevyRidinLow]

ok i have this old piece of crap lightning audio 12 incher that has been sitting around for years. it was blown and i was just thinking about doin a fun little project but dont know where to begin or if i even can. i just removed the motor so i now have a basket with surround still attatched and the motor separate. its a pretty solid basket for being on a junker but anyway what should i do/ need to do to make something that even remotely resembles a working subwoofer?

Are you planning on using the motor and basket, or getting a different motor ?

dont bother with a cheapy sub it would be cheaper to buy another cheapy china woofer.

Motors come up for sale around here all the time, you will want to find one first, then worry about softparts...

take some measurements, like bolt pattern and mount-hole dia. etc..... so what you are saying is that you have a decent basket that you want to biuld something out of, right?
