where do you get parts to piece together a custom driver?


Recommended Posts

hey guys, just trying to figure out where to get parts to piece together either a 15 or an 18 inch sub, i want to build it from the ground up. motor, basket, cone and everything else lol. if you have any ideas where to order the parts or if its even worth it over buying a prefab from ab, fi, dd, aq, or whoever else sells nasty ass subs......

PSI, CACO, SMD Classifieds, etc

Why wouldn't you just buy a mass produced sub? You get a warranty, customer support, and a guarantee that they will perform well.

I have a 15" here i built.. Its a pretty awsome feeling whwn you take a pile of parts add some glue an finish with a fully working sub.. (not a drop in recone)

Its also pretty fun to build a sub..

not many cars can get me to pluggin my ears but this one.......damn. I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. :)

Sure... if the parts work well together. If the parts dont actually work well together, the sub could fail or sound horrible. Sure, he could still say "I built this MYSELF." However, I wouldnt be too proud of building a POS.

Op, if you want to build a custom sub, please do some research. Good luck :drinks:

Forums have attitude and character. You have to accept that or just email someone directly to get straight answers.

For 1 off parts at low quantity, check out fixmyspeaker.com

Otherwise you can search around and gather a hodge podge of parts for classifieds sections.
