Did you do a continuity test on the coil(s)?

Nothing wrong with a company building a proprietary product like that. When the W7 was first released, it was quite ground breaking in many ways (and still is). The W7 uses alot of interesting technologies and techniques to acheive the flat BL curve that gives them the linear throw we all love so much. When it was released, nothing was even close to it. Pioneering a technology means using proprietary parts.
Not to mention, alot of people complain they get tired of seeing so many manufactuers using the same off-the-shelf parts on their drivers. We cant have it both ways...

Good point, I was just referring to your statement about the cost. Which 240 is even less than what I expected //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Test it to see if the coil is shorted out. Are you sure its not the amp that's bad, or that you simply had a loose connection etc? A speaker that simply stops making sound could be caused by many things.
