My long lost audioque hd3 is messed up. Long story.

So I bought an audioque hd3 a few years back on here. I had it sent to my mothers house and I never got the chance to open it. Fast forward to a week ago when she came to visit me, she brought and I was so exited to finally open the long lost hd3.

Mind you this sub has total nostalgia behind it for me but I digress.

I opened it and the basket was broken in all four spokes and the coil was frozen, I'm guessing from shifting. The motor looks totally fine. My question is, is this sub worth fixing to factory spec, make it custom or sell it for parts, and if so what is it worth?

I bought one of those motors for @ 65$ on here last fall. Definitely make sure the pole piece hasn't shifted and it should be good. It's a pretty tight gap for a Chinese made sub so you won't have a ton of coil options but Ultra Audio on ebay has some that should fit. For your purposes cones are all the same, and if you build the suspension pretty stiff it should be close enough to OEM performance.

Odds are you could get it back up and running for around 100$ give or take depending how much shipping you can combine while sourcing parts.

This was the American made one. Man I was hoping it'd be worth a little more than that.

Crappy packing I'm willing to bet.
