good luck finding parts. JL isnt too keen on the recones

you could probably find a new one for around the same price as a recone kit

how would it sound if i got a 15w3 because they have the same wattage as a w6, the only thing is, how would i wire (2) dual 6-ohm and one dual 4 ohm as close to 1 ohm as possible? any info on how it would sound?
