[PowerNaudio 10+ year member]

a friend of mine has a pair of Kove audio armageddon u2 series 12" sub, 1000watts rms. one of them plays but rattles a little. is it worth to get these fixed? it cost $120.00 or so to get it refurb!. or is it just paper weight now? would it be dumb to try and sell it as is?

here is a pic.

i have an RFP-3410 only 200watts RMS. i got video of this one dieing from an 800rms basuka amp. hehe. anyways, would that one still be worth some thing too. or nothing. how can i post video here?

well i got what they call, integrity! lol if its in the trunk you cant hear the rattle from the sub, but you get close to the sub and rattle rattle rattle.

Put a dmm to the coils and see what it reads

Push a little on the cones and feel if it rubs at all

the kove is at my friends house. but i have pushed it before and it goes in and out just fine.

now what would i be looking for when using the dmm on it. it plays so there is continuity.

but seriously - use a DMM to find if the coil(s) are blown, and then if they are, call up RE and see if they can recone it for you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

frankenwoofers are pretty nifty.
