Marty,
I have replied to your PM, but honestly brother, if the coil is ok, I will send you out a new set of tinsels for free if you want to slap the badboys in, I will give you step by step instructions on how to do it, or whoever you sell the sub to, I will send them new tinsels. It will save you money on having to buy a new recone, or whoever guys the sub.
Hope that helps,
