jdubs Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hello everybody its been a while. I'm getting ready to recone my DD 9512 to either an 18 or I'm doing a pair of 12s. My question is... is there any performance gain from buying the carbon fiber/composite cones? 2 of them with the cones/dustcaps cost as much as 3 normal 9500s!

iKidwell Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 you can throw like 10139190324902480 watts at it with the composite cone i'm pretty sure.

94retta(219) Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Well i have no clue if there full composite or not, but if they are then it would make a good bit of difference in spl and SQ. The cone will be more rigid and sound better, and when doing spl itll handle much more presure and wont be able to fold the cone as easy. Plus they look bad ass Edit: ninja'd alot Edited April 14, 2011 by 94retta(219) Quote BUILD LOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdubs Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 you can throw like 10139190324902480 watts at it with the composite cone i'm pretty sure. 10139190324902480?!?!?!?! Oh damn. Lol. I plan on hooking up a pair of m3a's. You think it will take 6k+ then? and maybe one 9518 with a composite cone on 6k will be louder than 2 9512s without on 3k each? My dealer wants me to buy more woofers instead of doing an 18, he says it will be louder. I kinda think he just wants to get another 800 bucks out of me lol Quote Kenwood DDX 514 DD M3a DD 9512G RF 600.4 RF power series 6x8s lots of zero ga.

korey_hofer Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) their cones are 100% composite, they will not give at all like a paper cone will and can resonate. and your dealer is ripping you on cones, they arn't cheap but they arn't 1500 each either Edited April 14, 2011 by wenn_du_weinst Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

n8ball2013 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 My first run in with DD and composite cone woofers was a few yrs ago. Vegas10 from termpro was showing me his sierra and I said are those composite cones? He said yup and hauled off and punched the shit out of them four or five times. They barely moved. He's not a big guy but hell most of you wont even know who he is.
