[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8663604, member: 614752"] You can't just unplug the cone and replace that. It'll be securely glued to the coil and spider. Even if you can find a raw surround that's risky because if you misalign it you'll start rubbing the coil in the gap. Pick off the old dustcap as best you can, replace it with any poly dustcap (use amazing goop glue) and band-aid those holes in the surround with Goop glue as well. The roughed up part of the surround looks like hell but should still function. The point is if you need to replace the cone you're replacing EVERYTHING and will need to make sure it all goes back perfectly aligned.... for the quality of non OEM replacements and the price it's worth just sending it back to JL. Put it this way, if you had to just throw the sub away and someone offered you a new W7 for 300$ the new W7 for 300$ is still a pretty good deal. If you plan to drop 200$ into half arsed non OEM parts and hope your first attempt to rebuild a sub yourself works you will probably have better results just buying any 200$ sub. [/QUOTE]
