What Voice Coil Are My Subs?

Stripped holes sucks. I'm going to have to put another baffle on my box because it would cost a fortune to replace. I would use t-nuts but they wont work on my box.

Whoa.. Never thought about using nuts.. you sir are a genius! I'm gonna try that.. Like, right now actually. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif!

What sucks is the entire left side of the sub mounting holes got stripped, lol. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Building a new box soon anyways so I'm not too worry, but nuts will be easy! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

would it be too hard to turn the sub and make new holes...

silicone old holes

Put t-nuts on your new box as well. that way no worries when you want to sub swap, Or re tightening them every so often. A lot of people forget to check that and are leaking air and warping baskets when they don't know it. With t-nuts cinch away.

Yeah it's a bit hard when box is bolted down to trunk and I have to remove battery and amp to get the box out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. Sub weighs quite a bit and was mounted inverted so when I'm building a new box in like a day or two I don't see it worth the trouble. It still stays in place, it's not like when the bass drops the sub pops out of the box, the last like 1/4" or so of the holes are still threaded for some reason, so the screw kinda holds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Thanks for the suggestion though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

and actually I've already done that once, so by doing it again I fear the new holes would be too close to the old two sets of holes.

i wouldn't use t-nuts. i've heard horror stories.

The only thing I am kinda anal about when it comes to audio is having the dustcap logo's straight. I can handle wires flapping around and arcing out before I can have a logo crooked lol. So turning the subs I don't like so much.

Do you recommend anything else to mount them then besides tradition screw through baffle? When I build this final box, it's gonna be too big to remove, it'll be built in the trunk, so it won't be so easy to add on baffles or drill out new holes. Any suggestions or a certain type of screw that tends to hold up better in MDF?

I dont even seal the old holes.. The gasket covers that up well enough for me.. No leak issues ever...

To the op, take the sub out, and check them, and quit making dumb posts such as this...

I thought these were the Reference series, but from looking at pics these look like Infinity Kappa's. The guy I bought them from said their Reference subs, but I can find no pic of a reference sub that looks like this?
