One of my subs is blown (I think bad voice coil). I was wondering what the BEST but also cheapest route to go would be??? I sent a request in to fix my speaker . com. Should I allow them to fix it, or should I go with a new sub altogether?

someone please help? this is my first set of subs...and i'd really like ta get this fixed. :(
dont bother fixing just a waste of time to be honest..sell the working one and buy a higher end subQuote:

Yea thats a pretty decent amp man ..ditch the good type r ,,and buy a american bass xfl .. And have someone build you a custom box and it will be louder and sound better than both those type r.s...they r 182 bucks new..amazing for the money
Those less-than-$200 subs you were suggesting? which would those be? The guy who hooked them up for me wants me to get an RE to run in place of the blown one....they pretty much exclusively sell those at their audio shop here.
oh no please dont buy a re...they were good back in the day but the new stuff has gone to ****...american bass xfl are on ebay for 182 free shipping then get someone to build you a nice boxQuote:

Quit talking out of your a$$ man. Type r's are pretty good subs.Quote:

well then just try to find a used type r im not sure what a recone would cost for one....if u bought 2 new 12,s what would be your budget?Quote:
