Broken JL Audio w6v2 12 inch

[GThind]

I have had two jl 12w6v2 in my car for a while now running off a alpine pdx amp. One of them is blown however all the surround, cone, spider is intact and shows no sign of damage. When i press down the come however it is stiff as hell. I contacted fixmyspeaker about it and they said $135 to repair it but they take 10 years to reply. I am here to ask for any kind of advice on this situation. These are some pictures of the blown sub.

does it sound like mine?



I emailed on of JL Audio's distros about it and they said there is no way a JL Audio speaker can be repaired. (BS?)

Someone else said possible damage to voice coil. Have emailed two other JL dealers see what they say.

I can hear some rattling in that vid.

Whoever told you a JL sub can't be repaired must be new...and yes full of ****. Any sub can be repaired.

It's whether or not it's worth it to recone small subs.

For the W7, probably. For lower end stuff, probably not.

He's re-built a few JL w7's and they look good
