[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8889093, member: 682903"] Probably an okay performing sub for what it was, but blown, just salvage the magnet to use as a screw holder, lol. Or bolt it to a garage wall with the magnet sticking out to stick stuff to. If you like to tinker and have tools, could perhaps modify the motor top plate to accept more common basket, or maybe make a custom vented spacer to adapt bolt patterns to said common basket and make a custom sub out of it. But if you don’t know how to do that stuff it is likely a throw-away as was already said. Making a drop in cone for the stock basket may be near impossible to not worth the effort / money. I try to aim for subs that the motor is worth future rebuilding. Other option is to dissect very carefully to just cut out the fried voice coil and glue in a new one, [B]if [/B]you can find one that fits, but this is not simple and a lot can go wrong. I’ve done it when salvaging cones / parts from old subs to make a frankensub out of old parts, but takes some experience messing with this kind of stuff for years. Most of this is a waste of time unless you like to tinker with stuff, and even then a lot of subs are throw-aways. It’s great to fantasize “if only I could get this sub working for cheap”, but sadly parts cost adds up fast and very easy to mess up gluing in even a drop in cone kit. I wouldn't bother trying to recone it. [/QUOTE]
