Decaf Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) a bl is a bl u can recone it... but i dont know if the motors were machined different for the spl/daily or if thats just soft part change... are you using it for spl or daily driver u should email fi and ask but usually recones are ~$80-100 plus shipping Edited July 23, 2008 by decafcappucino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01xtreme Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 like already said, a BL is a BL and A BTL is a BTL. You can have them reconed, or buy a recone kit for not that much, would probably be your best bet.

Bass4Lyfe Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 there are many threads about this but the best way would be to seal it off firing forward and fold your seats down. otherwise, up against eh rear seats rear firing and seats down. but it prob wont' get AS loud ... and your trunk'll rattle unless u go w/ option A its nto thatttttttttt bad tho Quote ~Matthew 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6 3L (1) ScyTek Astra 4000RS-2W-1 2-Way Remote Start Alarm with Shock and Proximity (1) 20% Tint All Around (Gately Audio) (1) 250 Amperage HO Alternator (1) Big 3 Done In 1/0 (2) Kinetik HC2400 Power Cell (1) Alpine IVA-D106 Receiver (1) Peripheral Video Bypass Device (4) Alpine SPS-17C2 Speakers (1) Alpine KCE-422i iPod Control Interface (4) Sheets Dynamat Extreme; for speakers (1) 10 Square Feet Hushmat (Trunk & Rear Deck) (4) DC Audio Level 4 15" D2 Subwoofer w/ Level 5 Coils (1) Wall Built By David, Tuned to 32 Hz (1) Rockford Fosgate T40001bd Amplifier (1) Stinger 1/0 Wiring (2 runs of + 2 runs of -) (1) Stinger Volt Meter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 they are two very different motors, u can recone but not changeits like asking if you can upgrade a Re Audio RE8 to a SX... not gonna happen def loud sub tho more like going from a SE to SX can it be done... depends on if you can get ahold of a BTL motor. you cant do an easy conversion thats for sure but with a btl recone kit along with a btl motor you could do it. not really worth it IMO since the gab is so small alot has to be right on to get it to work Quote J. JMy CardomainFINISHED COBALT SS/SC DUAL ALTERNATOR PICS theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
