Ive beat the piss out of mine. Ive ran the pair on 1200 all the way to the 2000 I'm running now. They take it like champs. If they would drop a bit lower they would be a perfect SQL woofer. But they dont so they are getting replaced by Level 4s

i saw custom recones for types r's on ebay for $55

I saw those as well but i only need the cone because i can just use CA glue to reglue the new cone to the spider

Just buy the entire cone believe me. You will be wasting your money trying to glue the old stuff to the new cone. For $55 that aint bad at all.

Most people would just recone everything if they had to replace something. Maybe look for a blown type r that had good cone and just part it. That's what I'd do if you don't want to do a full recone.

I only had a Alpine mrp-m1000 on mine when it tore.when i first received the sub the cone felt a little dry but i didnt pay it any mind.i previously had an alpine type r 12 previously before that and it worked fine on my kicker zx750.1

I tried doing that in my area but no one had one.i also couldnt post on here looking for one since i havent reached 150 post

do you know what version of Type R this is? Is this the newer style with the larger coil - 2.5" or the old style. Also, I didnt see if this was for a 10,12 or 15"

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Hmm, well myself and I think most others here would recommend a full recone, like the one on ebay. I'm not really seeing another way to find just the cone. You could always buy that kit, a cone alone wouldn't be much cheaper anyways, and just use the cone and keep the rest as spare.

This is just going to be a backup sub because i have a rockford t2 im going to be running as my daily subwoofer.
