would be hard to find the soft parts for those. manufacturer might not even want to sell you soft parts for 2 subs

You could try... he may not have those parts. Best bet would be message him and see whats up. A good way to practice would be if you see any tc motors on here and pick them up. Easy to recone and parts are easy to get

Honestly, it probably can't be done, and even if it could be it probably isn't worth it.

true, haha, but im in the poor boat... so getting new motors are out of question although i have an 18 baske that fits a 4 bolt tc motor.

I bet they can be reconed. Using psi parts or some other builder. hardest part is finding a coil for it. What size coil are they?

Yea. it might be hard to find a coil for that but it is possible. But for the price i would just throw them no a shelf and buy new subs

wanna practice reconing and i got these for free, was wondering if you had compatable components and if so how much itd cost.

Can you measure the coil and gap for me?

anyone happen to know the coil and gap size? i dont have anything other than a meter stick and measuring tape, so cant measure very accurately.
