Alpine spr components in the front Alpine sps woofers in the rear deck All amp'd up on a crescendo 1000c4 125 wattsx4 at 4 ohms 12 ssa icon off an amp I have not yet purchased All off stock 2008 chevy impala deck

How do the speed nuts get used properly? Do they attatch to the metal frame of the door and then the screw goes thru it or do they just lay flat against the metal frame and the screw goes thru. Clockwise or counter clockwise ?

How much rms should I aim for to power the ICON optimally? How would an amp like this do http://www.americanbassusa.com/product.detail/product_id/137

Looking to get a 12" ICON !!

Have a DCON 12 inch that needs a reconing for sale.

After only a year of use on a Crescendo 1000c4 my SSA DCON 12 inch died. =( Repair dude is trying to charge me 100 for repair/recone and 35 for labor. Nearly the price of a brand new DCON. What do I do.

I saw one video that looked kind of intricate it had a sander type tool grinding all excess material off the inner sub? I don't have that

Pay for that

Its only 50 dollars more to just buy a brand new DCON... and I don't have any idea how to recone, nor do I have a soldering iron.. Any suggestions ?

Would I need to add a basket ? What does that mean

I've got a crescendo 1000c4 that can run either 500w x2 bridged at 4 ohms 250w x2 bridged at 8 ohms how can i tell if its wired at 4 or 8 ohms ? and if it was at 4 ohms would an s4 sub work ? or only d4

I don't know how, and isnt it more than a recone, it seems the tinsel lead snapped ? I'm not sure

Would anyone be interested in buying my broken sub ?

Any thing?

The box is as follows: mdf enclosure w/ charcoal carpet, spring loaded terminal cup aero port double/flushed baffle 45 deg angles internal bracing 29hz Made by Vitveet I believe these are the dimensions 24" wide 16" high 14" deep (15.5" after double and flushed mounted baffles) After all displacements, it's 2.18 cubes of airspace tuned to 29 hz! Sub will face back and port will fire to either side (drivers or passenger's).

is this a difficult fix? and the s4 dcon at 500w at 4 ohms destroyed the dcon? why is this ? would a higher rated rms sub such as a GCON work better ? or was I wired at 250 at 8 ohms ?

So for whatever reason, the sub works when I push in the logo... it works for a while then stops working... then if I push it in again it works... all the wiring is secure and fine but it seems to have something to do with the sub itself.

Any other input ?

Its connected that was the first thing I checked when it stopped working, and I replaced the fuses as well and it didn't play still. Well I was wrong about it just NOT working, its been dead for months I forgot that my dcons bass excursion decline at random times/or turn off then reduced to a what I believe was either just a stable very low volume or completley off. After that process it was completley off and now has no movement whatsoever.

I've got a doctors appointment now, when I get back I'll take pics of the amps set up. And the sub just didn't play when a song came on, it didnt gradually die out like a blown sub or sound like it clipped or anything it just didn't play.

Its bridged at either 500 at 4 ohms or 250 at 8 ohms I'm not sure, and the gains are a little less than 3/4 on it. I'm using the front to channels of the crescendo on some alpine comps I've got up front, and the rear channels bridged to the dcon.

It is an s4 DCON and i had it at 500w x2 bridged at 4 ohms or 250w x2 bridged at 8 ohms. I'm not sure, I'm a huge noob and my car audio friend hooked it up for me.
