Recone?

[Caleb9107 10+ year member]

What makes people recone? Is it a blown sub or just looking to do something different? Also, what does a normal recone cost for say a 12" sub? And when reconing, do you basically rebuild a woofer from scratch using the same motor? Or do you replace the motor and basically just start with the basket and end up with a new sub?

blown sub, need a new impedence, wanting a different surround/cap/spiders

u want recone costs hit up woofercooker or teampsi

also cost is dependent on motor, soft parts, and basket

Replace the cone, surround, spiders, voice coil, voice coil former, tinsel leads, dust cap.

Usually when you blow it.

So if I reconed it would basically be like taking my Audiobahn and making a whole different sub out of it?

no, it'd be like replacing the soft parts and possibly the basket. what sub is it you want to recone? I might not even be worth it since most recones cost at least 100 and that's not including shipping to and from

Oh ok, Well I have 2 Audiobahn AW1200's. I was just looking into reconing possibilities mainly for looks. And that is too much to spend on these subs IMO.

yeah I had a version of that sub, def not worth the recone, but I have some motors worthy of a recone if ever you want something custom //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
