Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 2150 Registered: Jun-06 | There was a couple of big threads about this company on CA a couple of weeks ago. A couple of people were testing them because some of the parts are very similar to some DD subs. The Fs is high, around 48 I believe. And the spiders didnt hold up well. I never did get back and check to see if people were getting DD recones on them...... |

Email Post Number: 4003 Registered: Nov-05 | the motors are suppose to be very similar.. if all else failed you could recone the sub with better softparts but in the end you might as well have bought a sub that was already good to begin with |

|
Gold Member Username: CenusOhio Post Number: 3789 Registered: Jan-05 | ya but if you get the sub off ebay for $200 then get a DD recone(not sure what they cost) lets say $100 you pretty much have a DD 9500 for $300. and 9500 go for a lot more than that. |

With the prices they have do you really think they can afford to pay intelligent people to work for them?I don't think so.Why do you even expect customer service from them period?I'm surprised that they even have a number that you can bother them at. |

Are the motors identical?Will DD even sell recone kits as a DIY because people are buying Konaki?If I were DD I wouldn't sell recones anymore unless the motor is shipped there for the reconing process with all the people out there trying to make a cheap-a ss DD. |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4004 Registered: Nov-05 | like most companies out there, they want their money so the odds of DD to stop selling recone kits are not good.. thats just more money in their pocket and less work for them to do if its a DIY kit.. if anything they might actually raise the price if they knew what it was being used for :P |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana 2 DD3515s, 1... Post Number: 5441 Registered: Mar-04 | From what I have seen, its just another sub that uses the same basket. The motors weight is different, slop on the top-plate is different, different softparts, glue, and a few other things. Its prolly a decent motor, but no 9500. Just think about it, how many people have you seen say stuff like "Oh..the Q looks like a Mag, they must be a copy"...or "That sub looks like an SX, it must perform the same". Looking the same and performing the same are 2 TOTALLY different things. BTW, seems that is took FOREVER for those Konaki subs to hit the forums. I saw them advertised in 12volt News along time ago. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana 2 DD3515s, 1... Post Number: 5442 Registered: Mar-04 | Oh...and those Konaki motors don't have cooling like 9500's. |
|
Gold Member Username: FrkkevinResonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4005 Registered: Nov-05 | someone on the forum should test one.. hmm marshall you'd be a good candidate since you could stack it up next to your 9500 :P |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana 2 DD3515s, 1... Post Number: 5443 Registered: Mar-04 | Konaki also has other products that look like other brands: Power Base (AKA...stock heat-sinks) http://konaki.com/tld.html Volfenhag (lol) http://konaki.com/sl.html Power Acoustik (lol), JVC, Pioneer http://konaki.com/dvds.html And their coax's look familiar too. |

|
Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2858 Registered: Sep-06 | Can you buy DD3500 12" recone or DD9500 12" recone? If so how much? Anybody? |
|
Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Post Number: 7107 Registered: Feb-06 | u cant buy recones anymore without having proof that you own a dd 9500 now... so even if you buy it it will be hard for you... why even bother getting those pieces of shyt... |

Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2764 Registered: Nov-04 | there waas a guy on ca.com that has dd softparts and was willing to recone the kon motor t any size with dd parts. but it would have ended up costing 300-400 bux. it would be a good del if you could get a recone for it. dd or any other kind. =\ i say if you can find a cheap azz spl sub why not? and the t/s perameters were similar to the95. and an fs of 48 wouldnt be bad for striclty spl. not sure howd they sound daily lmao.....good midbass? lol |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5603 Registered: Jul-06 | "wouldnt be bad for striclty spl. not sure howd they sound daily lmao.....good midbass? lol" Recone it to an 8'' driver while you're at it |

Gold Member Username: HdubbTeam Revolution Post Number: 2765 Registered: Nov-04 | theyd make perfect 8s lol. can you say two piece baffle? lol. but im sure it wouldnt work. =(. id buy konaki for 150 bux if one was offered to me though. fyi... id see how she did wih my 2 3250.1s =) |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5607 Registered: Jul-06 | It probably wouldn't handle one of your 3250.1s. |
|
Gold Member Username: JkidderGunshine , State Flawda Post Number: 2493 Registered: Nov-05 | well u can buy them for a little over 150 |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3673 Registered: Jul-06 | These subs look like they would only be good for SPL and would probably blow easily. If anything, I'd say they might make a cheaper replacement for Kicker L7s in competition. |

Bronze Member Username: DjlPost Number: 87 Registered: Sep-06 | Please don't take this as a smart axx remark because it is not intended as such. DD is not in the business of selling sub parts. They offer recones as a service to THEIR customers and recone kits are not a profit center. One of our major problems in the developement of the HDC3 was the inability of the Chinese to perfect the spider/basket landing glue joint/attachment and the spider/former glue joint. They also had a serious problem with the spider design. We had to completly change those designs as well as the production methods used in the assembly. It's not so much that the Chinese can't do it right; they can if you provide the designs and are willing to pay for it. The glue joints I mentioned are normally done by machine in China because it's the cheapest method but often results in an incomplete saturation of glue on the top and bottom of the spider. The HDC3 subs glue joints on the basket landing and spider/former are done by hand. We do not use the same number of spiders or the same spider materials or the same spider/former designs as the K sub. Our Chinese builder told me he had never been told/educated to build it stronger; only how to build it cheaper. |
