tframo Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hey guys. Does anyone know if a gen crown will fit on TC v6 crown tube and stem or do I need to buy them as well? Also, if I buy a gen crystal do I need to buy a different crystal gasket or will the one that TC uses work? Thank you for the help Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi, imo sort out the parts You want and where to get them but really wait until You get it before ordering some. It looks that good You might not need/want anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dovo1695 Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I've never held TC v6 sub, but I think the advice that Nightwatch gave is sound. You should hold it in your hands before you decide to buy expensive aftermarket parts. From what I've seen in pics, they're pretty tough to improve upon. That said, some of best members here have the frankenbug, and wouldn't consider any rep complete until they've had a chance to swap some gen parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffindodger Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 The only thing that TC suggests is to add a gen insert . Anything else imo is a waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tframo Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Thanks for the input guys. Since it already has the gen insert installed I will see how I like it before going gen crystal and crown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Tony mine had gen crystal and crown installed also better aah marginal but gen is gen. (bezel gen of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tframo Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Did you need anything other than the bezel for it to fit? Click spring etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
