http://www.totalrecoil.com.au/ is in Vic but ask DD Phil first as he might have a different Vic repairer.

We do all DD rebuilds in house, having us do it is the only way to ensure that 100% genunine parts are used. We have all parts in stock including 0.5 and 1.0ohm coils for the 9900.

Simply send the woofer to us or take it into any DD dealer they will handle shipping.

In Melboure, see our newest dealers Tower Audio.

Phil

what were you doing to blow a 9915 of a single Eaudio?

Yay! Melbourne gets a DD dealer

Yeah, come on, fess up! How did you kill it?

Clipping it's ass off I'd say!

Phil

i had the car playing tunes last nite. only up half way but the gains were still set to high from autosalon. after 3hrs of music the sub stopped and i saw smoke comming outta the ports. wasnt to happy.

so that is tower audio in melton?
while its in the shop would it be worth switching coils to dual .5ohm?

cheers
jonesy

yeah get dual .5s, run 1 ohm daily and .25 for burps

will the eaudio handle it ok? .25ohm for burps that is

thanks for ya help everyone

It should if not send it back to Erkel for repairs .

No they have been tested they handle it fine.

Yeah, it'll love .25 for burps, hell I even ran mine daily at 25 each for a while

will handle .25 for burps... when you set the gains on the e's you need to be carefull or the amp will not like you and neither will the subs...

u use the multimeter method Shieldsy?

yes.
gets the loudest score.
and i don't much like my amp going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

whats the multimeter method?? someone must tell me this??

ok. sweet. will it be worth getting another e audio?

Nah..........just buy a CRX.

Phil

i'm with phil on this one...

whats a CRX?

as in a Honda CRX, awesome cars for SPL

http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/&#...rch_distance=25

Make sure you get an Aussie 2 seater, I've seen nice ones as cheap as $6000.

A CRX would be 10dB louder than your car at least, we got 149 from the same sub and less power than you have in a standard DD box (off our website) just by dropping it into a new Colt, CRXs are louder again.

Phil

what about a holden barina? (last yrs model that is not built in korea)?

any little hatch will be loud... just a crx would be louder...(apart from a fiat panda).... mmm dreamy!

CRX is not only louder, but way faster than Barina.

The CRX is a hoot to drive.

Phil

but it's still FWD.

what about an old 316ti hatchback?

316=slug.

Phil

not after fast. just a loud car. ill tow the fing thing if i have to.

go extreme then

to true. crx= great fun to drive.

However, I've found a Mirages are louder than CRX's (they peak so high). Also the 93-96 Galant is louder than my crx by about 0.4-0.6dB (both peak at 53hz).

But then i've got a dodgy crx

maybe you just haven't harnessed the true power of the crx yet dave...

yeah thats why the 328ti is the btter option, same body but with a bigger motor, battery in the boot stock

bit on the pricy side for a SPL car

how did it go from recoiling subs to a car thread

Who knows but wha the hell are you doing on the computer - you should be working on mirage

rainy
stupid rain

You need a shed!

the CRX,s that do well in the states play round 58-62hz which is starting to get up there freq wise.

Clarkie

Thats possible, considering i've only had a headunit that works for 2 1/2 weeks (lucky AAS was in that time). stupid alpine.....

You blew a 9915 with a single E audio ?
I dont even wanna know what the box looks like . . .

looks like his avatar Kal.
pretty close to his port.

Its a bad angle to tell if the box has a back on it ?

We received your woofer late on Monday, it was shipped back to Tower yesterday.

All going well you'll have it back for the weekend.

Rebuilding the 9900 is a nightmare! The only way to take them apart is with an angle grinder.

In order the re-use the cone, about an hour's grinding is required, while wearing a full gas mask. The glue used to build them is that tough.

A new 9900 cone runs to around $400, so it's definately cheaper to re-use it!

Phil

dang phil! they must be importing drugs with those cones...
thats where the added strength and cost must come from.. the 99 cones are laced with heroin.
can i ask what glue is used phil?

Locktite Prism 480.. I mean.. "DD Glue". Dah

But seriously grinding ? WTF ? You use Selleys Kneed-It for adhesive on those ?

There is no other way to remove it.

It is a cyanoacrylate type glue, once cured nothing will dissolve it that won't dissolve the cone etc.

The 9900 cone weighs stuff all, yet I can stand on one no problems. It is a composite of foam and Kevlar laminated with epoxy resin, cured in a vacuum bag in an autoclave. This is the same process used to make F1 cars, space craft etc. Nothing is as light and strong.

Phil

did you put .5ohm coils in it?
cheers. no i just gotta get the money sorted.. bloody christmas shopping!
