Not sure how much it's going to cost, a friend gave it to me for free so I was wondering if this sub is worth repairing. Thanks

Yeah it'll be worth it. Monster woofer. Back in the day when first starting out I gave a pair of twelves 2.5kW each and they took it all day. It was hard to breathe at the time //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Perhaps the only woofer series worth a **** from Audiobahn.

Sounds like the voice coil turned into a slinky...

Shouldn't be a problem to recone, but I've never done one so I can't really say with certainty... probably looking around $100-120 + shipping give or take...
