Lucky4Designs Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'm in the final steps of my recone, but the new drop in kit is giving me some hassles... The leads are a bit long and when I go for a test fit, the leadwires fold up and almost touch the underside of the surround. Would it hurt to trim them down at all? Also, my woman threw away one of my old shipping boxes that had my recone stuffs in it so I am short on shims. What's the best thing I could use for properly aligning the coil? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 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...

SnowDrifter Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I just use manilla folders to shim it, then once I can't fit any more of those - printer paper until I can't fit any more sheets. Make sure you trim them to length As for the leads, I don't see any harm in trimming them just a bit. Do the recone like normal, then solder the lead where you want, then trim off the excess poking out of the solder ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
