Ok I have a basket out of a 12 and a motor out of a 10 I wont to use together to make it a way better 12 then get it reconed. I was able to unbolt the motor for the 12 but I still can

Besides bolts, there is usually a bead of glue holding the motor to the basket. When I rebuilt a TC Sounds sub, I had the same problem. I just used a thin blade screw driver like a chisel and tapped the seam between the motor and the basket. About the 4th tap, the screwdriver went into the seam and I was able to pry the two pieces apart.

That first sub was an MA Audio Hardkore basket, right?

I don't know what the 10" basket is.

Unless you really care about the cosmetics being perfect:

1) Get large flathead screwdriver

2) Set woofer down and grab the farside of the basket

3) Put screwdriver between frame and motor

4) Push down on the screwdriver like a lever until you hear a pop.

Do it quick and hard and you wont even leave much of a mark on aluminum baskets. I do it all the time.

The ten is a SP10 made by the swan speaker company it was blewn when hooked to a wall outlet. heres a link to the sub http://www.swanspeaker.com/product/htm/view.asp?id=50

Yeah and the 12 was an 2002 MA audio subwoofer 1000watts duel 6 ohm coils.

you might have a easier time getting a recone if you just buy a standard 12 spoke basket with the recone.

i don't know but the 12" basket you have may not have standard spider, and surround landing heights.

Well I had the whole thing hooked together and guess what some punk from my work knocked it off a shelf and broke the motor and messed up the basket. So I
