[QUOTE="Team MAF, post: 6533960, member: 587221"] As in damaged i mean everything from a scuff in the cone, to a full blown tear in the surround and or on-the-way-out spiders..... Ive personally used half assed/damaged subs until they blew out or were sold or retired from use, but what is the boundary line of when its time to buy a a new sub and trash the old one? For Ex: I have a BTL that has a puncture hole in the dustcap, used it for the winter/spring season, never seen any issues, although I've been told by others that I should fork out the $125 for a recone immediately? Am i Crazy for not doing so? I don't see the point....especially since the cone is still stiff as hell/like new. Another good story, friends of mine had old school type r's, he blew the surround out on the cone, and gorilla glued em back together, if he wouldnt have shown me them I would not have known of any issues. Although that is a bit extreme if you ask me [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Stories, experiences, comments please. [/QUOTE]
