Is this a proper repair for a torn sub?

[evil_lies]

There is a local guy selling a pair of e10's but one is torn and repaired by the previous owner. I don't know if the repair is legit or not. I don't care that it's ugly, I would downfire it anyway so it won't be seen. He doesn't have a box to show they work unfortunately. What do y'all think?

Did somebody run over it ?

Nope it's on a craigslist ad and I don't know anything about sub repair. I suspected the person that did it didn't either...

If you are serious. No that is not a proper fix. The only way I would buy those is if and only if the motors are in mint condition, the price was super low, and I had plans to recone them. Cause that sub looks fucked

That's what I was thinking. It's a pair of E10's and a 1500 watt audiofonics amp for $140. I was kind of leery about the condition of everything anyway, and this help makes up my mind. Whatever they did to that sub didn't look right to me, just wanted to make sure.

Hell, here's the ad, it seems like a good deal if everything works right, but I doubt that's the case.

even if it plays there's probably slight to moderate coil damage and the structural integrity of the surround has been compromised. You wont get near the performance It normally should provide.

Yeah I'm definitely passing. I was interested before I saw the pics of everything, but it all looks pretty trashed to me.
