Carbon Fiber Dustcaps

[Duran 387]

Fantastic things are on the way, here is a teaser:

Can these overlay or do you have to remove the old caps? I can see myself screwing up my subs trying to put these on. lol

[Duran 387]

It depends on the stock dustcap, in most cases the stock dustcap must be removed prior to installation.

I see the smaller cap has a nice flare to help with installing/hiding glue. Will the larger ones have that option? If so I may need to have a conversation about large bulk ordering.

Any other colors? Red/Gray or Red/Black perhaps?

The flange on the convex(boob) cap? The concave(dish) caps will hide glue, if that's what you mean.

Any kind of material can be used, cost changes though.

I was referring to the convex cap. I'm not sure I want to do anything with the full/partial cone concave caps.

I beleive S. DeYoung removed his and replaced them on his xcons.

There are a few options when it comes to white, there is a white and black fiberglass/carbon hybrid cloth, the white is dyed fiberglass, the black is carbon, carbon fiber cannot be dyed, it runs $90/yard, there is also a pure white cloth made of a fiberglass variant that runs about $20/ yard. Either options are viable.

Okay, now I think it is time that I open this up; I currently have 4 10" and 1 12" caps made and ready for shipment. All sizes 10"-18" will be made as they are ordered. The prices are as follows:

10" - $35+ shipping

12" - $45+ shipping

15" - $65+ shipping

18" - $75+ shipping

The fabric used is 11.1 ounce 6K 5HS weave, it has a backing made of 181 aircraft grade fiberglass; two layers of carbon fiber would be much too heavy, these dustcaps are completely hand made, each one is unique and none are identical, their weight will be within a few grams of their plastic counterparts. Also, they must be weighted during bonding, carbon fiber with a slight curve like this has a tendency to bow slightly, once bonded they will be secure.

Please PM me if you are interested.

[Duran 387]

Thank you edouble.

These are very interesting.

What is the diameter of these dish caps?

wondering if these will fit cones that have big surrounds.

[Duran 387]

Which ones are you interested in?

[pmureika 31]

[S.DeYoung 968]

Duran also made these:

I have made plenty of transactions with Duran, all of them have been perfect, his products have exceeded my expectations every time.

[Duran 387]

Thank you for the kind words, gentlemen.

Duran, I pm''d you for a monthly update on my order that I placed with you on November 17, 2012. I received no response.

It is approaching three months since I placed my order for two 15" concave dustcaps for IB315's. I think it is fair for you to issue me a full refund of $149.67 since you have not shipped the product that I ordered from you.

I know there has been issues that are out of Durans hands. I am in the same boat, I have been waiting just as long if not longer and will continue to wait. I have other lines of communication with him and will let him know about this right away.
