That looks like sh!t. Doesn't really matter about the looks if the sub still sounds good. Just tell everyone its some cheap *** asian sub, and then let them listen to it and say you have the only one made. Do it, now!

to re-cone it jl wants 350$ and 3 weeks to do it. time and money i dont need to spend. i only paid 350 for the darn thing, so spending another 350 means id just by another sub. i like the idea of the asian sub......... just tryd it ........ didnt work at all. my friend said "that thing looks like a mutated w7 joking around...... i said it was a knock off" that i got for a 100 bucks.

and also by removing the cone you are adjusting the moving mass T/S parameter i believe...

i think you should just get it reconed..or contact who you bought it from and make him recone it..

Hey I was going to say this... also the *inverted dustcap* is the second part of the W cone -- helps reduce IMD *maintain a better voice coil alignment* and also helps reduce odd order distortion products with serious bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif -- It will still sound hella better than a w3v2 thats for sure regardless! Personally my simple fix would have been Carbon Fiber //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif make yourself a new W cone //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif -- possibly you can just order the front portion of the W cone from JL audio and recone yourself?

Good idea, just call and ask for the beauty cone part and glue it on yourself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

so black jesus, lol your saying that making the cut jl told me to do was not the right way to solve the problem?

precisely

 

[PowerdByGuiness 10+ year member]

im actually surprised JL told you to cut it especially since its important to the sub

 

[mxjosh711 10+ year member]

well they told me that the "w cone" has nothing to do with the dust cover i cut. they said as long as its not under warranty than making the cut is an option. a cheap option at that. either way i still use the sub as if i didnt make a cut at all. and its obvious it hasnt made any difference to the proformace. you should hear the thing, you have to roll down the windows to even turn the bass to -1 let alone have it set in the + 1 through +5. look on the jl website, the "w cone" they talk about makes a perfect W. the piece i cut has nothing to do with it.....
