[QUOTE="req, post: 2734729, member: 555713"] i would have paid 120 for it. its a ****in dustcap. you can order new ones from places like RE and partsexpress. you would have an ugly cone on the woofer, but some ca glue and another dustcap would have patched it up, it would have added a bit of moving mass to the cone, but oh well. im sure it would have sounded fine anyway. id of cut a bit more off the cone with a knife, taped over the coil hole so no debris got in there, then cut more off the cone evenly with a dremel or maybe just a razor blade, vaccumed it all out nice and then did some sugery with glue and a spare inverted dustcap from something like the RE XXX... might have had to get an 18" dustcap and measure the diamater of the cone of the w7 and trim the 18" back to fit, and took a sharpie and wrote W8 on it lol. but it would have worked no problem. i doubt the coil will be missaligned because somone knocked the cone while it was moving. hell, even just cutting as much of the outer dust cap off, and throwing a regular **** cap over the former hole with a bit of ca glue would have workd. just had to mount it inverted is all. nobody would have known. sorry man. its not hard to fix, but it is hard to make it look nice. if you could have scored a new w7 dustcap from JL, then you could have overlapped the new one onto the old one with some CA glue and nobody would have ever known to begin with... oh well.
