haq Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hello, I have two XL m2 15" subs that need reconing. I`m also looking for more power handling 2500-3000 rms.What upgrades I need for the stock recone ?Can DC do that for me? Which is better DC or PSI recones ? amp: DC 5K. enclosure tuned to 29Hz.

AA98hoe Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 How do you figure a recone will make it handle more power ? Why not just get a lvl 5 that's rated to take the power instead if trying to overpower your sub Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

wccfan12 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I thought those subs were already 2200 watts rms? 2 of em on the DC 5k is a perfect match IMO. They should already be able to take that much power if you're not clipping and you know what you're doing.

01 S-10 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 They should take the 5k and more with ease, assuming everything is setup properly Quote TDH FTW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA98hoe Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 As u see they need reconeing either he bought them that way or he blew them Quote TEAM DC AUDIO VEHICLE:98 chevy tahoe 2wd 3-4 drop HEADUNIT:alpine 9886 PREAMP:arcaudio FRONT STAGE:4-6 1/2s selinium,DD component set and 4-selinium tweeters in each door KICKPANELS:jl audio 5 1/4 REAR DOORS: dd components 6 1/2s HIGHS AMPS:zapco 750.2 on front doors,zapco an another 750.2 on kicks and rear doors SUBS:4-ascendant audio 18s with 5 spiders in a custom box built by KINGSUV SUB AMP: 2-dc7.5s ALTERNATORS: 3-mechmans 1- 425comp, 1-smd spec350, 1-270 with adj voltage harness on custom dc bracket WIRE:10-runs 0g front to back BATTERIES:6-d1400s TL results:157.1 at 38hz and 156.8 at headrest score @37hz.

01 S-10 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) I would assume either bought them that way, or clipped the living hell out of them Edit: We also know nothing about the box they were in other than tuning Edited April 6, 2014 by 01 S-10 Quote TDH FTW !!!

haq Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 they worked at 0.5 ohm in 7 cubic feet tuned to 29hz about 10 mins.then smoked out after 5 mins playing in 8 cubic feet tuned to 45hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corona_jeff Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 It's not the subs. Few things, sounds like a lot of clipping. And 2 why are you playing music in a large both tuned to 45hz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 This is the same dude that wanted to recone these DC woofers with a sundown z4 recone.. Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

DylanBunch Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Sounds like he was told the gain is a volume knob lol. I could be wrong but I believe I heard the XL coils can handle at the most 3000rms daily. A 5k is a perfect match, just get your box right and set your gains with a dd-1, if that's not loud enough upgrade.
