Good place to find spider replacement?

[macisme 10+ year member]

Anyone know where a good place is to find a replacement spider for a 12w6v2? The spider is the only thing wrong with this sub that was given to me in yet another one of my deals. I also received two 15" w0v1, which aren't worth much since the vc's uncoiled and I don't think spending money on a vc that small is even worth it lol. However being able to add a new spider to the W6 that I got for free would be worth repairing IMO. It was cracked all the way around and was completely loose. Any idea's? I know JL doesn't sell replacement parts for one, and I have been searching google and numerous websites that deal in re-cone parts but nothing that I am looking for. This **** spider looks to be at least 10 inches across and the coil on it looks to be close to 3". I'm just eyeballing these measurements but I can't be very far off at all. LOL me and these projects.. the only way to learn is hands on though imo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Btw I know these are a ***** to work on and blah blah blah.. Just hoping someone knows of a nifty little website that sells these. TY

This isn't what the op was looking for. Also apple are innovator's,everyone copies what they do and JL's are nice. OP,Bumpin Buick had a bunch of spiders for sale.

Even if the VC was a smaller/bigger then just get the closest size you can and do some trimming

I thought about this too.. I'm just not sure how well it will work because they are suppose to be connect a certain way on the v2's. I really have no idea of how important that is.

Here is what I was talking about.. I really have no idea how much it will matter.

you can if you know what you are doing... although given the sub and the OPs inexperience it probably won't work out...

OP I might be able to get you a spider if you want to give it a shot, but I need to know the exact ID and OD... I can also get you recone kits for the 15W0's for cheap...

^ should have said to properly replace the spider you need a recone. using used parts is just hacking...
