Are these worth reconing?

[alec14 10+ year member]

Hey guys, so I found these subs while cleaning out a warehouse a few weeks back, and decided to grab em because they were gonna be thrown out anyways. One is an old Pioneer 15, and the other is an old RF 10. If it's possible, I'd like to get them reconed and fixed up, but I'm just wondering if it's worth it or not. I don't even know if they're worth anything. I'm not sure what RF model this sub is, as it doesn't say anywhere on the basket or motor. My guess is an old OEM one. But any input will be appreciated! These are what they look like:

Although I don't know what model they are I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're not worth reconing. You could probably buy a "better" sub for the price of the parts to fix those. (Which might not be a lot)

The only thing that Id save on those would be the magnets to use to hold my bolts and nuts and tools when working on my vehicle,or ?.You could get a cheap Pyle sub that would be worthy for the money spent on rather than trying to find parts and rebuild these.Just my 0.02 cents

Okay, thank you both for your advice. I'll most likely be sending these to the trash then!

They aren't worth reconing, but i use stuff like that to hold loose screws. Just screw the baskets to a wall in your garage, and store tools or screws on it

That sounds like a pretty good idea, thanks!

No problem. That's what I did in my garage, and it works great

Good rule of thumb is that anything with a stamped frame isn't worth repairing.... or owning even.
