252chevyboyz Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Naw man I tried emailing Debbie at sundown but haven't gotten anything back. I ordered it back on 9/11/12 so it's almost been 2 weeks but I was thinkin something around 2 weeks for a recone. I am guessing the recone is having to be made or something. Jacob did get those new tooled baskets in for the new line of subs so that might have slowed the production of recones. I'm not totally sure. I'm anxious to get her playing but I don't want to rush the masterminds behind sundown though. I'm sure it will come in pretty soon Edited September 22, 2012 by 252chevyboyz Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252chevyboyz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well I got the recone package yesterday and reconed it after i finished cooking dinner. The process really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Pretty straight forward and as long as I took my time seemed rather easy. I guess I'll see how we'll I glued it after I get it in a box and throw some power to it. Anyway got plenty of pics from the process so ill start gettin em up here Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

252chevyboyz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Once I got to attaching the surround I wiped the landing off twice. Once with alcohol and then a 2nd time with acetone. Then proceeded on Laid the glue (E-6000) down: I used a half of a paper clip to go along the edge if the surround to make sure it was pressed down in the glue. Just don't press too hard and squeeze all the glue out. Forgot to get pics of it paper clipped all the way around but here it is tack free and holding its own: Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Now on to attaching the dust cap I used a piece of masking tape doubled over on itself to hold and help position the dust cap. Got some glue (loctite 5min epoxy) on the edge of the cap and i put it along the cone where the cap would touch. I used a round toothpick to place the glue on the cap and cone so I wouldn't make if look sloppy. Also I roughed up the cone where the cap would touch to give the glue a better chance at holding. Dust cap on and tape removed I put a full can on top to add some weight so it wouldn't move. I let it sit over night like this Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
252chevyboyz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I got the original push terminals but wouldn't direct leads be much more rugged and perform better than push terminals? Also given this sub will never see more than 1-1.2k rms Any tips on soldering direct leads? Like any specific solder or any certain method I should use when attaching/soldering them?

252chevyboyz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well here is what I did. Got frustrated with the direct leads so went back with the push terminals. The box I threw together for it has a little port noise in it on low notes so I am going to replace the 1.5" aeros with 2" aeros. Also looking to build a t-line for this sub. I would need a t-line that would allow the sub to take around 1k rms Quote - 1997 Chevy Tahoe- Big 3 (1/0)- Dual Autocraft Batts- JVC KD-A315 HU- AQ 2200.1D- 18" AQ HDC3- Box w/ Removable Port (6ft^3 @ 36hz & 6.7ft^3 @ 42hz)- 39' 1/0 & 13' 2/0 Flex-A-Prene My Selling Feedback Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
