Nit: dude it does not hinder the sound quality at all

Nit: keep in mind that isnt the part that produces the sound

Nit: its the bottom part

Nit: the magnet

Nit: you cannot tell the difference when its in your trunk

thats a often occurance with w7's, thats actually the dustcap not the cone, it does not effect performance.

Don't get it.

It'll cost you 350 bucks to get it reconed and you have to bring it to the authorized dealer you bought it from with your receipt in hand and the dealer are the ones that send it in for you with an RMA number.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I called JL 2 weeks ago because some guy was trying to sell me one with a similar damage to the cone.

well i think im going to buy it for 230 with box which isnt bad at all loll if i dont like it ill just sell it on ebay...i was reading some older threads and they say rubber cement or silicone can fix the cracks

i've seen this happen to my friends w7 and it didn't effect sound performance at all .

id buy it, and get a small piece of carbon fibre and some great glue, and glue the c f patch across the damaged area = very little weight and very strong.

not sure what glue you need tho to adhere well to a w7 cone tho?

I have a 13w7 and i have a similar crack on my sub. It does not have any effect on SPL or SQ.
