Maybe just a bit. :D

You have a beard of a mysterious sea captain. I would follow you to hell and back.

Got bored the other night with by fellow audio nut Mike from HYPER.

This happened to my (already bad) spare Vega:

Told you 3" voice coil. ...but very small gap.

It may have been late. But how you guys like my new top hat? Get it!! Top Hat!!!

Ok seriously though: Who knows who can help me? I can get any needed measurements including Voice Coil Thickness (have access to a micrometer). As much as I would love to keep Vega Cones, I know that is impossible. Recone kits would be nice, assembled top hats nice too. Price is always a consideration as well. I would like to do this one first to see how it goes, then I would need 12 more.

Later all!

grrrrr wish i could remember his name but he use to be a regular on here that offered people recones he had new old stock recones for these was going to get my 2 tens i have roconed think it started with an A lol

Yeah, I was working in Hernando for the week. Sucks that I didn't get to meet up with you guys. I wanted to see all the work you've done on your truck in person. And of course get another demo. :D

You and your toys!!

I just can't help myself! I'm like celery- constantly Stalkin' on eBay for strange/hard to find old school stuff.

Ha! I got something done! And it sounds good too. Much more fun than the JBL Imaging Enhancer.

He is talking about Ken, or "Foreverbumpin".

Yeah you could go to him, and you may or may not get a good job done.

I believe that's why we don't see him around anymore, he got butt-hurt over being called out on some shitty work, if I remember right.

Now the other Ken, "cjvue" is very trust-worthy, and can do it for sure. He does very nice work.

Oh and Colin, I did some research, and located all the parts to do these. You can either (A) rebuild them to near-exact OEM specs, with exact cones/ surrounds, coils, dust caps, and spiders, or (B.) rebuild them with 12-spoke frames, which will allow for much better spiders, and give you a better performing woofer in the end. Or, you could do a hybrid, with the original motor and frame, but different cone/ surround & spiders...

Either way, I can help you out. I would just need one sub to use for building up the drop-in's, either way you want to go.

Anyway, just wanted you to know your options. GL with everything! Oh and I want that CSP-1, very nice!

^ nice. Thanks for looking into all of that and the info.

Yeah, I think I would rather keep the baskets and do what I could on these. I would prefer to keep them looking like this if possible. Most of them just need new spiders. But to get to that means new surrounds as well...

Oh, and there is another CSP-1 on eBay right now. Ends in 3 days:
