plex_love Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Probably a dumb question but i have 2 of the oldschool mtx thunder 8000 15's they are single 2 ohm but are pretty much shot so i was wondering if i could use the motor and just buy a recone kit for it and if so how will i know which ones fit? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks I'm love bbc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 contact someone who makes recones and ask if they can make one for your sub. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

bkolfo4 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 A sub of that level can be replaced for about the same amount as a recone kit. Current system: 1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s Previous systems: 2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz. 1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

plex_love Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 well i know a lot of subs with the same motor size and from what im seeing the recones run about 50 bucks for them, so it owuld be way cheaper to recone them and have new subs! So was just wondering IF it would work and if so what i would need to know to make sure the fit works? i figure just the dpth and width of the coil?

bkolfo4 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I ran 8000's and never could find a matching 2.5" coil, but that was 10 years ago. Had one refurb'd by MTX three years ago. Friend is running it in his jeep. If you find a 15" recone for it for $50, be sure you let us know where. . . You can start with the ID and OD of the coil and the ID and OD of the gap. It uses a standard 12 spoke basket, and if I recall correctly, there is not type of spider spacer; the spider mounts directly to the basket.
