JL 12w3, Do I need a recone?

[mavster 10+ year member]

Well I picked up a JL 12w3 for practically nothing...

One similar to this;

On first glanced I noticed that I need a new dust cap and surround...I was bored and decided to rip off the old dust cap and surround.

But now I'm sitting here, wondering is the woofer any good to begin with?

As I lift the remaining cone section, It seems that the magnet inside is rubbing slightly...of course I think this is due to me lifting the cone slightly bent.

But when I use my DMM, I don't even get an ohm reading from either coil.

Hmm, Any ideas? The sub seems like a good sub, also something that could come in handy for a future install.

Thanks
