Cheap L7s?

[amartin_72]

My friend said he paid 150 for a pair of blown 12" L7's and got them reconed for free with paid shipping from kicker? How is this possible?

Recone for free? Pretty much do not believe that. They were probably under warranty which I don't understand how...

It would present a bit of a pain in the *** but it's doable.

User A has a pair of L7s that he blows. They are still under warranty but this genius decides he needs to move onto bigger and better things ('tis a sad thing to see someone with plenty of money and nare a clue continually buy nice gear that ends up trashed because idiot-boi has no clue how to properly use the stuff) So - he sells the blown subs.

User B gets 'em, sends 'em in for warranty repair under User A's name (after the warranty validity gets verified) and bingo! Freshly reconed L7s for $150.

Yep, that's exactly how it probably happened. I see it all the time.

polecat? I remember asking him how much it would be for a recone just a few days ago... he said about the same price they are on ebay... never told me about a warranty... tis new info may be useful

but i still don't see how they pay the shipping...i thought all shipping costs (even warranty repair) is paid for by the owner/user??

also, i was pretty sure that kicker quit reconing subs, and just replace them with new ones..

i asked tracy over a year ago, and he said they quit reconing subs. someone else also asked earlier this year, i believe, and he said the same thing as well..i think they replace them, not recone them..
