My buddy blew a coil on his 13w7 and they wanted $600 for a recone. Its making a nice paperweight right now.

one that you can buy and it works without a problem...

like everyone else has said, try ca glue or some other type of strong adhesive, if that doesnt fix it your only hope is to send it to JL. they may be able to fix it without a recone, but it wont be cheap and im willing to bet no matter how it works out, you would have been cheaper buying a W7 new to begin with. or what would have been a better option, not buying a JL product.

This is more of an issue with him getting the sub off eBay than buying a JL product, in my opinion.

See if someone local can troubleshoot and/or repair it, otherwise look at more affordable options that don't carry the price tag of a W7.
