Okay, im trying to get sub parts. Im going to list different types of materials and you guys tell me what you would rather have on your sub.

Voice coil-Kapton, black and clear anodized aluminum, Nomex, and fiberglass. Which would be best?

Surround- foam, rubber, or santoprene

Spiders- cloth or nomex

Cones- plastic or paper( i will probobly find more)

IM having trouble finding baskets, But until then tell me what would be best.

well, i don't know really. I am going to sell the ones im building right now. It depends on how much i have to pay for the magnet. Its a 10 or 12", 120 ounce magnet, 2.5" 4 ohm dvc. Should be around 750 watts rms.xmax is around 17mm 1 way. It has a fairly stiff spider, so the resonant frequency should be around 28 which is a GUESS. Maybe the 12" for $150. Im not for sure though. Hey how does "subsonic sounds" sound for a company name?

Yeah i might not sell them because they might suck. But it's simpler than it seems to make 1. I have all the parts already except for the magnet. But i can order all the parts again and i could just make them every now and then to sell on ebay. Nothing big.

sweet, hell then u should be able to recone your own subs... if u call the company, they should send you the soft parts..
I plan on learning recones this year, so Ill be able to make a hybrid sub, from 2 manufactures... maybe a DD and TREO mix... :-)
