custom 8 idea?

I don't foresee an MDF frame working in any way. The force will destroy the frame. Skar has their new ZVX 8" sub coming out with custom tooled frame and it will be a 2.5" coil. I doubt they will have any baskets for sale for quite some time though. Other than than, you could maybe do like some guys have die in the past and use a 10" sub frame that accepts a 2.5"-3" coil, drill out your basket to accept your motor, use some kind of ring tooled out of aluminum to accept your 8" cone and surround on your newly tooled surround landing.

Thanks for the information I will wait until I can get a ZVX basket instead. And that's what I was afraid of with a mdf basket.

He probably tearin dat ass up every night. Reason for "insomnia" Ain't sleeping cause he's like a horny hamster on coke.

yes you would have to tap out the motor or basket to work with each other and im pretty sure ur coil would not have an issue with that basket. dont be shot down so easy. u wana be really bad ass do something outside the relm of normal as such

all set on building a mdf basket but tapping out a 12 spoke to make it work is out of the realm? an mdf basket would be far more of a challenge then what i have mentioned here. if your set do it. im planning on building a neo destroyer on a 10" basket so thats gonna have its own issues but its something you have to think about figure out and get busy. dont be shot down

I picked up an MTX Sw1212 powered subwoofer today. This thing sounds amazing. 130 watts, 12" woofer with a passive 12" woofer tuned to 27 hz. Moving the pictures on the walls and my girl got wet from the bass when i showed her haha. Tonight should be good haha.

I might be able to get a basket from the massive audio hippo 8s. I know they take a 2.5" coil

It would tear itself apart without a doubt. It may be cool to make one for looks, but not for a working model. I've seen metal baskets break from the stress of being as subwoofer and supporting a heavy motor.

If considering carbon fiber over fiberglass, that might be something that would work.

Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

ok so say i go the carbon fiber route what would i need i have never worked with it before. would i make a basket out of wood. (would the wood thickness/type matter? i the only left over stuff i have right now is 1.5" particle board) then apply carbon fiber then glass?

and my soft parts would probable be these:

and re use the coil and terminals from the 12 and make a spider spacer
