upgrades to your Donzi and Orings

Post by cmattj »

Thanks A7

Whats all this oring talk..??

Dont they know we hijacked the thread to "upgrades to your Donzi" Geeeze..

Yes every-time drain plug to Top dipstick gets a new oring. They will draw water like a straw when warm (no leak) and you will never know untill the cone clutch slips

My sub was sounding kind of funky on my upgrade from spring. Had my buddy come look at it that does this stuff for a living. The adhesive used to secure the cone was splitting so there was plastic on plastic vibration. So the dealer took it in and they’re sending it back for a warranty replacement. I’ll install the replacement first thing in the spring.

That's odd. I would like to have a pro adjust mine. I really think I'll watch for some new wetsounds amps this off season and add a sub. Yes then that will lead to a set of tower speakers if I get my tower back. Just so I have something else to hit.

What was the lumen rating on your LEDs? I just swapped my 100w halogens out for some of these, they are 2200 lumen 18 watt lights. Haven't had a chance to test them at night yet, not sure what to expect.

Aslan, I've been looking around for underwater LEDs and interior LEDs that sync colors. Have you seen anything along those lines during your searches?
