    The perks of reconing at an alternator shop :)

    Felt great to finally get them done - It was A LOT of hard work grinding them smooth.

    Man that's A LOT of work for 6 subs. Gotta love it though. It'll make that first moment you hear it that much more intense. Tuned into this build! LIKED!

    Thanks man!! some one caved in a dust cap on one of my 18's at a little house show/get together we were having.....either way whats done is done and its time to fix it so i thought you'd be the 1st one i'd ask!
    Cant wait to see this more of your build man!!
    you'll have to come over and do a demo when your back in town,
    Im one of the kids who brought back your hat way back in the day when you were bumpin that 18 Steve gave you.
    Cheers man!

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    A faulty electrolydic capacitor can have a hum or a whistle to it - Kinda like a crappy PSU on your computer, as that has caps inside it. Are you more referring to the RCA's having noise being so close to the power wires? If so, yes, all 12v power wires produce and emit an electromagnetic field which can be directly picked up through RCA's along the way.

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    Thanks for watching the videos man!! :)

  • @nobody-yr1pw
    @nobody-yr1pw 8 лет назад +3

    One recommendation use a piece of tape on the dust cap to set it. It makes it a little easier to set the cap more precisely.

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    Awesome bro, I'm looking forward to seeing how it all turned out for you!!!

    Nice!!! Those look real good and you did a good job man!! I love the deep bass that only an 18 will get you. I have two jl 18's that I stuffed in my 650hp trams am. I dont have any vids of it but you can see my first time on the dyno. Keep up the good work, your a basshead rockstar!!!!!

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    Working on it :)

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    It very well may happen, yes. But you should do a VM test WITH and then WITHOUT the capacitor once you get everything all installed :D

    Possibly, if I am still in TN :)

  • @DrXBeats316
    @DrXBeats316 12 лет назад

    Hey man, couldn't help but noticed you using epoxy to set most of the soft parts. I've got some really nice rubberized adhesive I use on my custom built subs, it's much more forgiving on the spider(s) as under high excursion, it has a little give to it instead of epoxy being a solid set and possible tearing of spiders. Really good stuff and not too expensive. If you'd like to try some out, get in touch with me and I'll have my supplier get ya some!

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    I actually have LOTS of experience with capacitors... Look at my videos on RUclips about them...That's why I don't use caps on my setups, and that's why I don't recommend them. People think that it will help "stabilize voltage", help with their lights dimming, and solve all there problems, which it won't - If you want more stable voltage you need a H/O alt and good batteries... it's hard pressed for ANY cap to do ANYTHING that will make a noticeable difference...

  • @itz_dinkleberg
    @itz_dinkleberg 12 лет назад

    It can be both ways really. you can get recons for subs to make them handle more, or recones to add new soft parts to your existing one, and keeping the same RMS rating

    I would upgrade the alt as well, it's not going to hurt anything. If you plan on going bigger down, that's one thing you won't have to upgrade later.

  • @EXOcontralto
    @EXOcontralto  12 лет назад

    Each sub has two coils - Each coil is 1.4ohms - Wiring each coils in parallel drops ohm load to 0.7 (as 1.4 / 2= 0.7) --- These new soft parts will give me an identical impedance for all 6 subwoofers - If I did not recone them all, some subs would have Dual 1.4ohm coils, and others would have Quad 1.2ohm coils - And obviously, that would not work. So that is why you are seeing new soft parts being used for all 6 woofers. Does that help explain some things for you my man?

  • @Cephus18
    @Cephus18 12 лет назад

    Dope... that explains it... I was thinking all of your subwoofers had the same impedence from the jump. I couldn't tell that a few were Quads and a few dual. However, to be clear we reconed all of the subs with dual 1.4ohm coils? Correct?

    I just bought the same glue to glue in a sa-12 drop in recone. the glue is loctite 5min with mixing tubes if anyone is wondering. I'm hoping to get a demo before you move outta maine exo,that's if you have amps by then of course.
