why recone different sizes

[Xibalba 0]

hey, i am curious as to why some people want to recone one size sub with another size, like 18 reconed like a 15. I have seen numerous threads about this and am just very curious as to what this accomplishes in the end. Thanks

it may fit the users needs better.

Example, some competitions divide classes by number and size of subs.

For example you can use 2 12's or 1 15, and compete in the same class.

It also may be cheaper to use a 15" basket for the recone vs the 18" recone.

i bought a 10" sub with a busted basket and my car is setup for a single 12 so i want to recone to a single twelve.

Its really not that complicated

i dont know much about this but this is how i see it..

a 10", 12", 15", 18" all use the same motor so therefore when reconing you can choose to make it any size you want cuz its all on the same motor

Everyone about summed it up. For less money you can keep the same sub in a new system... just change the size and softparts to match the new needs.

Or some people like to take subs with huge motors and put them on as small of basket as they can physical can. (points at self!!) One of these days I'll get the XXX and Brahma motors into 10"s. One of these days.

Can we say beefy???

If only motor size was an indicator of a sub's performance...

Ouch!

lol. Well considering my motor is to strong for the basket I think I'm safe

It's not the size that counts?

Oh, you're one of those "it's how you use it" kinda guys...

Sorry, bout that.
