hey i have a JL audio sub and it is blown, i was wounder if it will be worth my wile, getting a new cone and fixing it, or should i just go out and buy another sub?
Thanks Adam

 

which one is it?

 

w6 or w7 series... consider reconing

w3 series or lower - replace

Then again, I like the w6 and w7 series and think everything else by them, except for maybe the 13TW5, is overhyped, lackluster performing, run of the mill, entry level subwoofers.

 

sorry, its the JL audio w6

 

Contact your local JL Audio retailer and ask them how much it will cost for a recone of a w6 subwoofer. Then decide from there if it is worth it to have it reconed or purchase a new one. Reconing is not a feat you should tackle doing yourself unless your speaker has end user replaceable components like the Kicker Solo-X, Memphis Mojo, Peavey Black Widow, etc...

 

if it's a plain w6 and not a w6v2 it's not worth it. I have to get a 13w6v2 reconed years ago and it cost nearly as much as the sub did new.

So I just bought this one to replace it.

 

yeah,i fixed a few subs b4. i just got the cones on ebay. but i just didant know if it was worth fixing or just getting new subs. but i got 4 new cones comming now anyways so i think ill give it a try if now hell with it.. just buy new subs
thanks .

 

It can be done yourself. The only issue is ensuring that everything is aligned properly.. That is a royal pain!
