Time to make these subwoofers truly ONE OF A KIND! Well... 12 of a kind! Today, we finish up the basic skeletons for the subs, which are now gloss white with matching backplates. Let's get the hard parts fully assembled while we prepare for the soft parts next... RECONES!!! Thanks for watching and subscribing :)

Step 1: Remove stuck-on debris
- the gap for the voice coil loves to collect small bits of debris and metal shavings. We'll need to carefully clean the inside to avoid any problems.
Step 2: Remove rust and recoat
- the backplates of each motor have also started to oxidize. We'll need to sand off all that, and scuff up the surface for new coating.
Step 3: Upgrading old hardware
- the motors were originally held on by 6 soft metal Philips heads. We'll upgrade to grade 8 hex heads, and replace the back bolts with black for good measure.
Step 4: Painting the back plates
- the extra touch of adding gloss white paint to the frames and backplates will help the subs POP out more on when making bass videos
Step 4: Reattach motor & basket
- each sub needs to be reassembled with threadlocker and glue, so we'll tighten everything down before adding new recones.
Now these woofers are EVEN MORE RARE!
Custom touches all over the place :)

I like your wet paper towel trick to keep dust out of the holes. In a pinch, I've used the disposable ear plugs to seal up threaded holes so I could paint without worry. I had the opportunity to help out with powder coating a few things once and they used something similar.

What I found to be a good way of blocking up holes to prevent any deposits getting in them is disposable ear plugs (the memory foam type) as they can be squeeze into holes and then they expand to seal the hole.

You should open up the flaps of the cardboard box, get a cheap HVAC Duct filter about the same size of the box opening to extract through. Have the box fan sitting behind that pulling air out of the box and through/into the filter. Without something for the overspray to really stick to it's just going to flow around your garage and land on anything else it can stick to.

I smoked my SCAR Audio 12's DVC 2 Ohm. I got an oscilloscope and adjusted my gain correctly and turned off bass boost. Kind of a blessing as now I have my 2x 12" Sundown SDL DVC 4 Ohms running are there own 500w Alpine mono amp @ 2ohms per sub, These speakers sound better and hit so much harder. I wanted a smaller sealed box for my daily driver to get my trunk space back. I've learned a lot from your channel. Thanks.

How'd you blow yours? I've got two Skar 12's right now ready for an install. together they'll be 2,500RMS @ 1ohm off the Skar 2000.1 but i'm a bit skeptical, any advice on how not to blow mine up during their trial?
