The one flaw with flat cones is that you can only bond the former to one side of the cone, this really weakens the joint.
Threaded mount would have to be way too heavy and expensive to be worth it, imo. Cool idea, just hard to implement.
One piece wouldn't work because you have no way to shim the former. They have to be separate pieces unless DC develops a field-replaceable top assembly that doesn't require anyone to glue parts down themselves. Something like kicker's solo-x, TC's threaded baskets, etc.
Yeah I can see it being just fine with pushing motions, but pulling? I think it'll be tough to hold up there, but I wanna see how DC did it.

Back to the sub...
If I had to guess, I'd say the former is adhered to the cone at the top edge and inside/outside surface of the former. It would be kinda neat if it was threaded into a mount on the back of the cone like how metal pipes are threaded, but the former material would have to be a lot thicker for that I think. If DC got fancy, they could have it be a one piece cone/former made fully of CF, but god only knows what that would cost them.

Someone on here has a Chevelle or Impala. Make some offers!
-
I've decided to sell some of the stuff I have in my basement. Up first we have a genuine GM 1970-71 Chevelle grille, never installed in a car. It's pretty dusty, but that's about it. (No emblem included) The GM part number on this is 3982409 if that helps. Asking $110 shipped but I'll consider offers.
Second up is a used 1998-05 Chevy Impala "center" rear light - the long bar found on the trunks of those cars, with the two backup lights. It has minor scuffs from use, but the plastic still has its shine and isn't faded. Includes all mounting nuts/washers and wiring harness. Asking $75 shipped but I'll consider offers.
Last is a couple of unused 12V Black & Decker batteries and their chargers. These are in great shape with no scratches etc. Asking $15 shipped per battery/charger set.

It's a balmy 13 where I am.
At first I saw those pics and was like 22 and 25...big deal. Didn't notice the negative sign till about a minute later...then was like oshit.
-
Final bump...gonna dump this stuff on eBay pretty soon
-
got fumes? heh.
These 10s have me itching to get my 12 together and installed already.
-
$25 shipped for the phone.
$40 shipped for the headphones.
$15 shipped for the inverter.

I've got two pairs of Nike 6.0 Air Insurgents...they're around $100 a pair and come in a ton of color combinations. I guess you could try Nike's website...they have all the available colors there.

Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee? The 4.0L six has some nice torque.

are you telling this guy to run 2 or 4 gauge to his subs?
Well even so, it wouldn't hurt anything

TTT
someone out there needs a cheap verizon phone...
or the rare version of a damn good-sounding pair of headphones
or something to run that classic PS2 or Xbox
-
I'm not so sure it's the truck he'll be adding JDM parts to...though I could be wrong. JDM looks sweet if done properly. (ie PROPER JDM lights, emblems, mirrors, bodywork, interior, etc.)
-
Bump with the price drop.
Phone is $30 to your door, headphones $40 to your door. Buy mah stuff! Need cash for wires and RCAs.

I like his vid with just the DD 6x9s flexing the truck

First for sale is my used Verizon Samsung slider phone, still works great and the battery still holds roughly 80% capacity. The pictures make it look like there are scratches galore on the screen, but those are only visible under the camera flash. Phone still has full functionality, and comes with the charger. The one flaw on this phone is the TV antenna, which comes right out if you pull on it. For me it isn't a problem - I don't get Verizon's TV service anyway. Asking $25 shipped.
Major phone features: 1.3MP camera, bluetooth, takes video (better than my new Nokia), MicroSD card slot for MP3s/video, stereo speakers (gets loud for a phone), 2.5mm headphone jack
*This is one of the few phones that does NOT use Verizon's obnoxious menu system - it retains Samsung's much better-looking menus*
Next up is an unopened pair of Sennheiser PX100w headphones. These are the much rarer white ones that aren't really sold new anywhere anymore. I have another pair (black ones) that I use, and the sound is phenomenal. (15Hz-27KHz frequency response FTW) Asking $40 shipped.
Finally, we have a Vector 400W power inverter. I only used this to run a Gamecube or PS2 in the car, and now I have a PS3 that would probably max this thing out. Comes with both cigarette lighter and direct battery connect cables. Asking $15 shipped.

I tried the 555s once at the local Apple store while they stocked them there. (they switch out their headphones for some reason)
No internal amp like the Beats, so it takes a little more to drive them, but the sound is way worth it. Plus the price being half that of the Beats doesn't hurt either.
-
My buddy let me borrow his Beats for a day and I must say they were amazing. But $300 will always be a lot to ask for a pair of headphones.
The Sennheiser HD555 are an amazing set...usually go for around $150.
If you're looking for amazing sound quality I would not look for something wireless, just a heads up.
-
Definitely won't sound like shit. Did you get them from partsexpress or something? They always have some deals going on over there...what are the woofer specs?
-
I've fallen on my ass while going up to bowl, but nothing like these people. None of this happens when I volunteer at the local Special Olympics bowling either. What does that tell you about the people in the vids?
-
A thousand people will tell you this, but here it is. Screwing an amp directly to the box with no sort of bushing/dampener between it and the box will definitely shorten the lifespan of the amp. The vibrations caused by the subs can crack apart the internals of the amp over time. Like for instance it can deteriorate solder points and cause resistors etc. to fall off the board. I would recommend fastening the amp to the floor or another surface.

Thing is a monster.
I would like to see all the parts actually included in the next American-made 'assembly required' product I buy though...rarely happens.
are you telling this guy to run 2 or 4 gauge to his subs?
Nice Sub A Team

The CF cone is very light though...it won't be too hard to make it change directions. Lower mass would mean a lower force that the joint would have to endure...
