SnowDrifter Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 wd40 is a solvenet simililar to wiping down with alchol before painting correct? NO, wd-40 was originally developed as a water repelling oil to prevent corrosion. That's exactly what I'm suggesting using it for I'd also look into storing the woofer someplace where.. Well... It's not damp ~~~~~~~~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...
MACnonsence6 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 i got it like this in a trade so idk what kinda storage it was in its in my room atm and thats where itll stay till it get sold,traded, or put to work. already have a pair of destroyers so i dont really have use for this big girl even though she is sexy. wont wd40 add that smell to it though. and be slippery to the touch. the guy i would be trading it to is pretty anal. lol 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP was actually a different guy. I show my subs on page two. Mine were assembled, 3HP motors. Which polish? If you're talking the Mother's, that's only finish polishing, not abrasive enough for rough rust. Brasso worked best for me. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.

Like 8+ hours total. Mine were pretty bad, can't really tell how bad yours are from the pic. I bought Brasso at Lowe's. Mother's at AutoZone. I tried sandpaper and something else, can't remember, but the scotch-brite worked best for me. But I would suggest trying them all and see which works best. Maybe I've just got sand in my vag but polishing metal that's that bad isn't easy. "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now.
