Anything I can really do with this?

So i bought an Alpine Type-R 12 that the cone was detached from the voice coil, supposedly an easy fix, i got it back together with some super glue but my dumbass let some super glue drip in the gap, so the VC was seized up, with some gentle tapping with a hammer i got it moving again, got all the glue residue out of the gap etc, but the VC was rubbing because of some uneven pressure from the cone, so i removed the VC and suspension with the 5 screws that hold them in and inspected the VC, it was blackened on 3/4 of the copper part. So i left them out, cleaned out the gap, and it sat for about 3 weeks until i got bored.

I removed 4 of the 5 screws and stripped the other. i cut the stripped one off with a dremel, and now i have a Type-R motor sitting around.

Is there anything i can do with this? I was thinking like a hybrid sub or something.

Can i buy a basket and a cone, vc, and suspension and assemble it or is it much more complicated than that? Im cofident in my ablilities to be able to assemble it fine.

thx

Do it. Hybrid time!

Though you must understand, I dont know much about the actual designing of a hybrid and how different motors are designed and perform.

no one will recone it.. been asked SEVERAL times. btw- hybrids arent always (actually usually arent) any better than the original..(there are exceptions, though)
