Blown Rockford HX2??? Possible repairs?

[des343 10+ year member]

I came across quite a find today...i got 2 12 inch rockford hx2 subs and a hifonics hercules 1500 watt mono amp today for 50 dollars!

Thing is one of the subs the guy knew was blown the other one he claimed to the very end it worked but when we were testing it i got nothing...

I have no idea whats wrong with either sub but it seems to be the same kind of issue the cone seems to be okay like it doesnt just drop down has some spring in it still...

You hook the sub up and just absolutely nothing happens any ideas? is this sub possible for repairs maybe if even sent to rockford? would it be worth doing ive read these are pretty beastly subs? never heard em it seems pretty hefty

Thanks for any insight

Power or Punch? What do the coils read with a DMM on them?

Power and i have not a clue i dont have any tools other than a multimeter which i cant even figure out how to use the thing properly..ugh idk if it works right honestly it was very cheap

Turn the DMM to read ohms and put the black lead on the negative of the sub and the red lead on the positive of the sub.

Polarity isn't necessary. Resistance will display the same either way. Find someone with an accurate meter though. Odds are that coils are bad if sub will not do anything. All soft parts/coil can be Reconed by many people on this forum and likely fixmyspeaker.com.

Probably need recones.... looking at $100+ per sub most likely. No idea if they're worth reconing..but if they are, still pretty decent deal if you have to spend $250 reconing them. $300 for 2 subs and a decent 1500 watt amp is pretty good.

aren't the power HX2's the ones folks get wet crotches over? i say rebuild them or sell them to someone who will.

For anything less then 15's Powers are useless cuz they use a 4 inch coil...
