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
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.

Is the Audiobahn coil the 2.4"or the 2.58"?
Its a 2.68" as far as i can tell but my caliper may be off.

I have my own farmer john technique lol. I don't have any templates. But another way you can do it is make an adapter from hddp plastic. I get it from Tap plastics and copy hole patterns etc. If you have money, there is people who will machine you adapter plates from 1/4"-1/2" aluminum
My Redneck idea is to glue(ca) the old frame and new frame together -the surfaces that are flat, align as good as possible, and copy the smaller bahn pattern with a 1/4" bit
Break apart and your done.
Is the Audiobahn coil the 2.4"or the 2.58"?
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?
