dohckiller808 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 you have to know what your looking for. gap size, former length is something so small but makes the sub. most other parts are similar. if you need it stiffer add a spider. what differences are you looking for?

anthonyott99 Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) first find a motor in your budget. Well thats what i was wanting to do is start with a motor and a basket but i cant find anything, just one basket at psi and havent found any motors yet. The basket for a 12 was only like 40 bucks with shipping and with a price like that i could order a piece for it every week or so and build a decent sub within my 65 dollar a week budget. Just cant find a good resource for parts yet !! coils and spiders but not much else so far. Edited May 21, 2011 by anthonyott99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corey0928 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Baskets will cost around 30-40 anywhere. Unless its a specific type like a TC style and those will cost you $75+ Motors sell for usually $50+ for used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
