Did I get ripped off?

I still don't see what he is saying. That looks like a fresh coil to me.

@Popwarhomie answered the question with a pic. What else is there to say

I believe his thought is that a new coil should be nice and shiny.

So what your saying is he doesn't know his own product.....

Exactly, thats a fresh new coil. And Bob doesn't know his own damned product line.

That does work. I can’t see anything wrong with the coil. Maybe it’s a used sub with a new re-cone done?

Gotcha, I understand now,lol. I read that and had to read it again. You are right though.

It's killing me because I'm excited to get this build going if it's good but I'd like to think the owner would no best. I just had a quality issue with a different more expensive sub straight out of the box and straight from the company. I've never had a issue buying used for the last 33 years. I decided to buy new this time so I wouldn't be taking a chance on something that has been abused. Hasn't worked out as planned so far.😔

If it's not burnt, what is all the black stuff on the copper? It's not uniform like the pic of the recone looks.

Not sure man. All I know is that my sun was brand new and the coil was the exact same. No bad odor or anything, just dark.

Thanks, that was informative. The new coil that was supposed be black looked smooth. The black on mine looks crusty. I'll see if I can get some better pics.

Where did you order yours from if you don't mind me asking? I got mine from bigjeffaudio on eBay. He had great reviews. I couldn't find it anywhere else for the price ($246)

Got it from eBay but don’t remember the seller. I’ll check when I get a minute.

Bigjeffs is pretty close to me in Ocala. I bought 6 of my subs in my TC from him.
