TC9

[CBFryman 2]

IM buying an eD Flatcone for 90bucks shipped. Im planning on pucking around with it, blowing it, then sending it off to RE or Inhuman. RE says they will recone it with SX or XXX softparts to w/e size i want for 100 bucks. Me thinking 18" and compare it to my Ava in output and clarity.

If its better the Ava will be reserved for HT usage, if its worse i will either sell it or reserve it for HT usage (depending on my findings).

My question is how do you think this will sound/how loud will it get. i know the TC9 is a great motor and the OE driver has 34mm of Xmax (??) i think but the OE surround limits it to 24mm of excursion though.

My other question is wether to go with XXX or SX soft parts. Im geussing the longer coil will be the better idea. Ill be calling RE tomarrow to get the nitty gritty on it. I think they both use the same Surround and so it moving its full Xmax shouldnt be a problem. Basket or top plate will probably become an issue first.

Dont blow it !

My 12o got plenty loud off 300W rms sealed.

A guy who came to the so cal SSA meet had a 12a ported off a tsunami amp feeding it 1200 or so watts. It got pretty loud.

Flat cones> RE cones.

Gimme a week or so and i'll get the entasi in order and see what i can do with 1100W...muahahaha. It uses the tc9 motor, friggin beast at 30lbs.

Im not real attracted to the Flat Cone (no logo means no pretty excursion, plus i have no need for a 12 except maybe HT but id much rather have an 18 and loose alittle SQ, CF dust cap with no logo is what i dont like about my Ava, its also what i love about my Ava). Plus the basket needs welding (it still works but somehow the basket had a chunk taken out of one of the spokes) Maybe i can find someone to get me an 18" flat cone, if i had the know how and the abilityi could build a flat cone. Maybe i can ask RE to not put a dust cap on it...tehehe. BTW i think im going to be able to get your stickers for hte Flat Cone Type R club in the mail. Ill probbaly slap one on mine too and go on there and be like "yeah im demoing one, its friggen loud. a single 12 almost as loud as my Avalanche" eheheh
