Reconing SA-8 v1.5 w/ Pics (New Vid Pg.5)

[bigmescan]

good job bro................................now get it playing and buy 7 more

I appreciate it bro. It was a really good learning experience and I'm glad to get the recone process under my belt. I just need to learn how to do direct leads and ill be set. 8 of these would be sick though. I would have to get lucky find 8 v1.5's. I'm addicted to 18's though. A t-line is in store for this 8 however.

Breaking in the spider: (hope this vid works its through photobucket)

man if i had space you would see an SMD 18. but i dont so i went the other way. and now i know who to call for recones

[252chevyboyz]

Haha I just can't afford a SMD 18. One day I will be able to afford the top of the line equipment tho. Ill sure help ya out if you ever need help reconing one of yours. Hopefully you won't be loosing any coils anytime soon tho bro. I will prolly always go with the aluminum SPL coils though cause its taking the power in throwing at and seems pretty happy as long as I'm like 1/2 tilt haha. ~1800w would prolly be too much for this woofer. Well it would've for extended periods of time. It will handle a 1.8k burp tho.

I sure appreciate it man. Haha If you were local I'd sure help you out. It takes a little time and a lot of patience. What you tryin to recone man?

I just want to learn. Something ever bass head needs to know. I just haven't blown a sub yet

[252chevyboyz]

You could email Debbie at Sundown and grab a blown woofer from them. The yardsale thread isnt open anymore but I believe they have a couple 10/12's but got plenty of 8's. I got $40 in the motor basket, $45 in the recone, and about $15-18 in supplies. So right about $100 in my venture. I didnt want to blow a sub so I just bought one from the company. Also I believe Skay has some blown MA-8's and they sell recones also.

i cant afford it either. but my local car audio dealer has extended me a credit of $1500 to $2000 (very grateful) and he just orders what i want and i just ay him back. its taken me 38 yrs to able to finally afford audio equipment.

Good job man! This would be a great thread for people to follow to learn how to recone.

I don't think that putting 1000 watts on it in a tline would be a good idea through

[252chevyboyz]

@big: your lucky to know the owner like that so he can help you out. Thats a good shop right there

@Bobby: I sure do appreciate it man. Hopefully someone one day can get some help from this thread. As for a t-line what do you think? 200-400w?

[bigmescan]

hes just an all around good dude. and im his walking billboard. so it works out pretty good
