Lucky4Designs Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just got hooked up with a parts supplier the other day and I should be starting my prototype within the next couple of weeks when I have the money from my subs (will also need a motor as well!). This will be my first line of subs, so I'm wanting to keep it simple and cheap (not cheap built of course). My question is, I have a few different styles of dust caps in a few different materials to choose from... What would you like to see? Polypropelyne dome (Also available in CF) Polypropelyne dished/inverted (Also available in CF) Pressed paper dished/inverted Full-cone cover Just in case anyone was wondering, these parts aren't coming from PSi. 2001 Toyota Corolla CE: 4x Crescendo PWX6.5's 2x Crescendo FT1-SE's 1x DC Audio lvl 2 M1 8 (looking for more) Slot port box 0.7ft^3 @ 31.77hz Rockford Fosgate R750.1 1/0 Knu wiring all around Looking for XS Power D1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky4Designs Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 full face all the way, I was thinking the same! They cost a little more than the others excluding the CF option. As for the look of an entry-level sub, I think it'll look pretty aggressive! 2001 Toyota Corolla CE: 4x Crescendo PWX6.5's 2x Crescendo FT1-SE's 1x DC Audio lvl 2 M1 8 (looking for more) Slot port box 0.7ft^3 @ 31.77hz Rockford Fosgate R750.1 1/0 Knu wiring all around Looking for XS Power D1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRTC360 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Maybe I missed something, are you starting your own company? Or what? I like full cone cover carbon fiber dished but I've never seen full cone cover inverted in carbon fiber, might look sick.

bass_stalker Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 well there is more you could do with the full face dust caps, and i don't think you can really dent them in or damage em, but i also agree that they would look pretty aggressive JEEP BUILD PROJECT ANTIBLING.2000 jeep Cherokee.HEADUNITAlpine Cda-9886SUBSTAGE1 acendent 18" audio mayhem motor with a TI basket and tantric parts1 prototype DAT hellfire 1000.1HIGHSStockELECTRICALdb link 0 gaugeKnuconceptz Kolossus 4 gauge1 xs power d3400 under hoodBig 3 upgradeold fourwheeler build The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.

I like full cone cover carbon fiber dished but I've never seen full cone cover inverted in carbon fiber, might look sick. Yeah I'm starting my own company. As far as I know, my supplier doesn't have any full cone CF dust caps. I agree, it would look beautiful and really set them apart, but it would probably be pretty pricey. Long story short, I'm not starting this company as a way to avoid a daily job or a quick buck kind of thing. This is my passion, and I want to give people what I wanted when I got into audio. An awesome product that sounds great, but isn't going to cost an arm and a leg. The only trouble I'm having is getting motors, that's where it gets pretty pricey. 2001 Toyota Corolla CE: 4x Crescendo PWX6.5's 2x Crescendo FT1-SE's 1x DC Audio lvl 2 M1 8 (looking for more) Slot port box 0.7ft^3 @ 31.77hz Rockford Fosgate R750.1 1/0 Knu wiring all around Looking for XS Power D1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky4Designs Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I know it's a long shot, but eventually I'd like to build a woofer good enough to send to Steve himself to test out. That way when I start marketing, I can stamp on the boxes "SMD APPROVED" 2001 Toyota Corolla CE: 4x Crescendo PWX6.5's 2x Crescendo FT1-SE's 1x DC Audio lvl 2 M1 8 (looking for more) Slot port box 0.7ft^3 @ 31.77hz Rockford Fosgate R750.1 1/0 Knu wiring all around Looking for XS Power D1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRTC360 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ahhh ok, ill be looking forward to seeing what you come up with, while building woofers for your own company is it kind of like the suppliers give you all these options then you build what seems best or do.you design what you want and they say yes or no if they can build it?

Kinda, the supplier gets all his parts from the manufacturer and there's actually quite a few options, but if you need something custom built, it can also be done. I'll definitely keep everyone posted on the builds. I'm super excited to get my first shipment of parts in to share with everyone! 2001 Toyota Corolla CE: 4x Crescendo PWX6.5's 2x Crescendo FT1-SE's 1x DC Audio lvl 2 M1 8 (looking for more) Slot port box 0.7ft^3 @ 31.77hz Rockford Fosgate R750.1 1/0 Knu wiring all around Looking for XS Power D1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
