TheNewbie Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 So i've been seeing alot of motors for sale recently, being fairly new to car audio. I decided what better way to learn about the sub than to put one together? Being that im only 17 i'd most likely go with pretty cheap not to well made parts. I would need a voice coil, cone, motor, trying to figure out what else. I know theres more haha. But also how much would you figure this would cost me to put together? Im not looking for it to push 1000w or even 200w just would like to throw one together just as a learning experience. Thanks in advance.

Punkeyboozter Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Can't seem to find them.. "Foreverbumpin" and "PSI" right? what motor do you have? might be able to get a softparts replacement kit or a recone mostly per-assembled. which is what many of the china manufactures do any way. Not many build the subs from start to end. Quote Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice.

I don't have a motor right now, just looking into how much it would all be for future reference, most likely after Christmas.

Suppose the price will come down to which motor you end up getting. Monster sub re-cones will run you over a 100 bucks so assuming you can get the right parts id guess you will be under that by a hair assuming you dont get screwed as these parts are usually mass produced and sold. To start maybe buy some cheap speakers and take them apart and get a good understanding but sounds like you have a good head on shoulders so it might just work out if you stick to it even if the first try dont work as planned.

Yeah, thanks man i appreciate it greatly, i'll end up getting a motor for under 70 bucks, actually saw a dc level 3 motor same sub i have in my car, would be awesome to cone it to a 10. Then again i'd have to find a basket that would fit a ten. 100 bucks? Hmm that's duable to learn. I figure i'd have to research on why does the of the way the basket is made matters, the coils ect so i'd end up learning alot more. Plus have a sub that i put together, i take pride in that Edited December 1, 2011 by TheNewbie Quote Check out my build log: http://www.stevemead...60#entry1958353 Different folks have different strokes.

TheNewbie Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 But anyways, how much would you figure it would be to order soft parts for a ten inch from dc, sundown, or Skarr? If you haven't ever had to purchase the soft parts i'll look it up, just wondering if you knew offhand.
