pelagic Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 What size tube is needed for a gen crown for a TT sub. Tried searching for how to swap for a gen crown couldn't find anything. Could use some help new to modding. This is my new found hobby, very addicting. Thanks.
alligoat Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 The tube is PN 24-7030-0 for a 7mm tube- last 0 denotes ss. 24-7030-8 would denote a gold case tube- you rarely see those. Crown is 24-703-8- gold 7mm. If I were doing a TT sub, I'd use the ss tube and the gold crown- it's not that big a deal to me. Keep looking for tutorials, there's bound to be some around- hidden deep in the bowels of the archives!
pelagic Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Posted November 2, 2010 Thanks Is it that hard to remove the tube does the gen one screw right in or do I have to drill it and re-tap it? Thanks
alligoat Posted November 2, 2010 Report Posted November 2, 2010 I remove the rep tube with a rat tail file. if it's glued in, you may need to heat up the case (movt is removed, of course). You should then tap the hole with the 3.0mm x .35 tap to at least clean out the glue/gunk. Check the size of the case tube threads you remove- if they're close to the gen/aftermarket 24-7030 tube you can just run the tap thru. If it's too tight, you may need to drill the hole- 2.65mm drill bit- not easy to find. I have broke off a tap in the case once- MBW case- don't think the new MBW cases have such a small hole.
pelagic Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah I have a mbw case ill have to check it out I have the gen crown just ordered a tube of the bay. Thanks for the info.
JoJo35 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Posted November 3, 2010 Here's what it should look like when you're done. A gen gold crown and a gen 24-7030-8:

pelagic Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Posted November 3, 2010 Where did you source that? How much? How did you fit it to the case?
pelagic Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Posted November 16, 2010 Received my tube and gen crown and installed it but the crown doesn't sit close to the case is there something I need to do to the tube? Thanks
jmb Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 You will likely have to slightly countersink the tube hole in the case as you will notice the gen type tube is constructed differently than the rep tube.
d-rock Posted November 16, 2010 Report Posted November 16, 2010 I could REALLY use a WM9 bezel for my latest v2.(teeth are shot) And I would REALLY appreciate of anyone has or knows someone who has a WM9 bezel for sale. I will have to resort to gen otherwise and am hoping to get out much cheaper.
pelagic Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Posted November 16, 2010 Thought about doing that just wondering if there were any other ideas. Thanks
