Was hoping I could use the stock frame and I was able to do so!
Just had to adapt it a bit... one of our spider bolt down rings worked perfectly for the job.
This woofer has 3 Hard Nightshade spiders, a Z v.2 prototype D2 coil (tight gap so NS coil would not fit), and a light weight cone similar to the Z v.1 but with a wide roll surround.
Once the dust cap glue dries I'll measure specs on it to see what we got
* Steel spider ring glued into place (glue under, around, and below the ring)
* Overview of the ring -- also changed original basket screws to a higher grade metal with allen heads.
* Gluing bottom triple joint
* Lining it up and getting ready to solder the leads -- 6 sheets of paper on the inside gap
* Finished product ! I've played it on the test bench a bit with no dust cap... but that is it so far.
