JL sub problems

[Master69 10+ year member]

i have some wuestions about these jl subs im picking them up off of a trade and i want to know which 2 will be easier to fix..obviously the 2nd will be easiest but what would be harder to fix 1 or 3?

1: Has 1 broken tinsel at cone. Measured both VC and it shows 3.5ohms. Overall in good condition. Just don't have time/skills to fix the tinsel lead.

2: Has 1 broken tinsel lead near the connector. Very easy fix and all VC measures 3.5ohms.

3: Works fine, has a 1 inch approx tear in the surrond. Can be patched up or surround can be replaced easily with a replacement kit.

Ah.

The refoam will be easy on them. Hell, even the re leed will be easy if you can solder.

Most speaker shops will repair the leads for you if needed.

All are easy. 3 sounds the easiest with the foam surround. If you can solder than 1&2 are easy fixes.

what is the process of a refoam

I have 2 slits in my surround where the screw gun jumped. you can just cover it in epoxy and let dry.
