BiiiGWaves Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I have a pair of re sex 12's sitting around because the lead wires burnt in half and they are too short to re solder. The sub originally could handle 600 rms, but I would like it to handle more. So if I just get a couple quality re cone kits, by how much can I increase the power handling of the sub?

Amart88 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Recones don't really "increase" performance. Unless the old one was pretty messed up. Usually the new stiff recones have to get broken in again to start sounding louder/better like the old ones did. If you get what I'm saying. Unless you are talking about an upgraded recone which could handle more power. Than that's a different story. My 2005 s10 blazer build. 4 zcon 18's walled.

n8ball2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 coil is what determines power for the most part. 2.5 inch coil right? I wouldnt expect it to take more than 1000 rms. at most. would be more comfortable in the 7-800 rasnge.

Purplehaze Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Yes, it will increase performance, if you use the right parts. Like N8 said, the coil is the most crucial. After that, I believe, is the suspension. And of course the leads are important too. Sounds like what you want is rebuilt, upgraded subs? PSi can fix you right up!Edit: Just remember, the more power you make it able to take, the less "musical" it will be. It's not always about power.

big dee Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Lead wires burning in two are a issue with Re . All it takes is a split second of clipping an there done. You can get triple lead wires on psi recone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just remember, the more power you make it able to take, the less "musical" it will be. It's not always about power. Yes that's exactly what I want. Sounds like I'm going to have to upgrade the motor, coil, and possibly the basket as well? How much do you think it'll cost? Because if it's too much i'll just stop thinking about it and buy a BL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrd6 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Well, upgrading the motor coil and basket means you're replacing every part of the sub so...buying a new sub would be just as effective and around the same price My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get triple lead wires on psi recone One f****** time is all it took! and they were such beastly little subs too for 600rms. Do lead wires have to be stitched to the spider? Because idk how to do that and if the upgrade for the sub costs too much i'm thinking of just buying some lead wires and re soldering them.
