    I just recently converted a 15' audiobahn into a monster 10. This was just for fun cuz the old basket was cracked and the leads needed to be resolderd. i wasnt using it for anything so it was a budget build. so i bought a cheap 10" cone with rubber surround and the surround is maxing out from the 15" coil. so im looking for a good wide roll surround or erom style surround. already contacted sundown and fi, neither sell surrounds seperate. as of now this is my best bet http://www.ebay.com/itm/10-Inch-Heavy-Duty-Rubber-Subwoofer-Surround-Kit-HiFonics-Memphis-Rhino-MORE-/300650140075?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item46002511ab\ as i stated this was just a random budget build with some parts that werent being used....so anything cheaper or better quality would be appreciated.

    I wasnt fully automatic but Alpines old digital amps used to have a Clip light on them kinda like the DD-1. As long as you knew your headunits distortion point it was pretty easy to set the gains.

    UPDATE: yea so finally got around to it and just drew up a template in sketchup and printed it to scale. Then just drilled new holes in the toplate carful not to drill into the magent. then tapped em. Acutally went with a budget build and cleaned up the old coil and got a new spider, cone and 10" basket. Overall $40 for a beefy little Ten. Pics of the final product once my terminals come in.

    So basically your saying, make a top plate out of plastic (or get one machined). then just glue that to the existing top plate? and as far as the redneck idea, i cant do that because the old basket attached to the bottom of the sub, not the top, so i cant drill new holes in the basket to match the existing holes because there are no existing holes in the motor/top-plate.

    So has anyone ever drilled/tapped their top plate for a new basket? I was going through my boneyard and found a old blown 15" audiobahn. Its got a pretty beefy magnet so i figured id recone. The cast aluminum basket is cracked so its out of the question. Im thinking about going with a 12" 12 point aluminum basket from psi. only problem is the original basket formed around the motor and bolted to the back plate. So i have to drill and tap the top plate to accept the new 127mm x 60 degree mounting pattern of the basket. I figure if i leave the top plate attached and drill it i wont have to re attach it to the magnet (taping off the center to prevent shavings falling in of course). anyone ever done anything like this that can add a little insight?
