good luck on that, you might try jl but i dought that will get you any where. someone might be able to get you a generic coil and cone. whats wrong with it

it would probably be cheaper to pick up a new sub

the surrounds went bad

and i hate to throw them away

jl could probably do it but it would be rediculous a 13w7 was 400 2 years ago i remeber

just found out jl only repairs dirvers in the current line up. if its just the foam, that sub has a some-what generic surround. there is a place called "the speaker exchange" here in tampa that can re foam them. see if there is a place that can do the same in your area.

there is a place called newfoam.com that i can get a kit from for like 30 bucks but if im going to do that i kinda want to just do a complete recone...

yea i feel ya. i dont think you will find the same cone let alone the same vc. some one might be able to come up with something that will work but it will not be the same sub as befor.

yeah i kinda figured that im not really worried about getting the same cone or anything as long as its reconed lol...i mean its only like 400 rms but its got good SQ for a 15 and i have 2 of tem

that sub wont be anything like the other, sound, power and all the specs would be diffrent unless by some luckyness you can find an oem cone and coil.

good luck

ya they were nice subs. around the end of feb. jl will have the w0v2 out for sale. they look like a good driver and they will have them in 10, 12, and 15" sizes. if all els fails thoes may make a good replacement.

i already have 2 re audio HC's for replacements lol but i hate to see these just sit in my closet
