They're fantastic drivers, get them up and running.
Bass is supposed to sound big. 6.5" is not a woofer size.

I know they are fantastic -the original ones , but I'm just not sure if modern recone kit will sound anything like vintage and $340 for cones is a serious money (for me)
Most of the quality of this driver is in the giant underhung alnico motor, but the white cone recone kits are of proper quality to match the original LE8T. The LE8, IIRC, was a black-coned whizzer-driver.

Black cone with alu dust cap have great tone and even response, while aquaplasT LE-8T have rising response.
What is your application for those drivers? (I have original Lancer cabs)
And they're superb. I don't even have the sub hooked up! But I know there's more potential in them, used as wideband mids, but am too busy listening to music to bother (And I have a lot of other projects going on) :)
