spl audio does amazing work,

there is also psi

PSI is also down for the next couple weeks if your lookin to have them built right now. Ssacket can also take while cus this is more of side project for him. I'm seen some stuff Resko1 did that looked pretty good also

I'm not saying he isn't. I just haven't seen his work.

Well mighty nice of you! Lol.

It is totally about customer service. i try to do the same. Mine is also a side project. I make about 30 an hour on my day job so cash is not an issue at all. I've always loved building and experimenting with subs. Been doing this for about 6-7 years now and have been into car audio for about 12-13years.

BTW, I just posted this because of the amount of questions on how to recone.

SPL: Lol. I work a night job. lab technician for a plastics engineering company. I actually got my start doing pro audio. Reconing ALOT of eminence and jbl. Ive played bass for about 14 years so there came a time where i was tried of waiting for reconed drivers to return so i started doing it myself. Ive been in car audio since about 98. Again. Tired of waiting on new subs or company recones for comps so i started building myself. Then i got a break and got to work with someone from a major company due to my plastics position. Thats where i learned the major tricks!

And to everyone else: Some of these guys on the forums do just as good, if not better work then Dave. My guy Ken (forevrbumpn) does amazing work! Completely clean and custom. Scott's (ssackett) work is everybit as good as Dave.

Dont under estimate some of us cause were not able to "market" ourselves as good as PSI or care to market that well. I consider it a hobby. When it becomes a job, thats when the fun stops. I would rather have my stuff built by a hobbyist then a company. Then you know its handcrafted and quality.

I also try to work with everyone who comes for builds. Im not just gonna say " ok heres the 6 stacked stiff spiders with quad sewn leads you ordered". Yeah...overkill. Your fs is gonna be 60hz, and the coils gonna burn up before you ever get the 8k to it, for the sub to move for cooling. Theres ways to make a sub handle more power with out over damping. And a motor of any kind can only produce so much flux to control the coil. Cant take a motor designed for 1k and make it handle 4k.

The first questions i ask are "what do you have for power? What are you trying to achieve, sq, spl, sql? what kind of space to work with"

I try to help everyone get the most out of their time and system. And i will straight up tell you what i do and dont recommend. After 12 years in car audio, I know quite a few tricks!

First thing i should post up when i get my rta is how to do in car transfer testing and convert it to box creation. But then the secret would be out and everyone would be loud! Lol.
