This thread is full of fail... big time
First off, I know of two shops (one I work at being one) that have w7's BNIB w/ warrenty for less than you guys are saying for a recone ($500)
TeamPSI CAN recone w7's How many times does it have to be said. He uses better softparts, and can customize the sub to your liking. Last I talked to him it was arund $50 to get the motor redrilled for a new basket (which is a bargain), and then the normal rates (like $150-200 for recone) for the softparts. So at max your looking at $250+ price of basket (which you can get a used 12-spoke or something for cheap, like ~$15)...
JL will not persecute anyone for treason. They don't (last I send subs in to them at the shop) check serials, as it really does nothing but loose money and possible business for them (especially when they know your ready to drop a few bills for a recone)
