My DC Audio XL 12 M2.D1 finally died after 8 years of abuse - What next?


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

One of my  DC Audio XLM2 12" d1 sub finally died after 8 years of full tilt Decaf and Got160 Music. The tinsel burnt in half. The other sub is fine but also shows sign of tinsel slap. So... what are my options? I haven't been reading the forums lately. What's the hype brand for subs that's not a downgrade from DC Audio?  I was thinking about buying two Nightshades v4 12" and throw them in the current box I have but would like to hear from ya'll.

 

Also, what are my options for a "Recone Kit"? They have so many options now it's a bit confusing on what's compatible for these 2012 M2 version of the subs.

 

 

 

Here's a video:

I've just got in touch with Cody /CJ18 from Droppin HZ Car Audio and bought 2x recone kits.

 

DC Audio m2 XL 12 Recone Kit (Dual 1ohm Voice Coils)


Upgrade Options:
LR Cone Upgrade
8ga Direct Leads × 2


Recone Shims × 1

 

I hope after this recone I don't continue to experience the Tinsel Slap issue
