Took apart a blown type r and nothings wrong???? WTF!

[BumpMW 10+ year member]

So i decide to take apart my "blown" type r because it sounds like dookie.

I took the cone, spider, and voice coil off and have it still together as one piece. I took a look at the voice coil and there seems to be nothing wrong. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

I was expecting it to be warped or fried but i don't think it is.

When i played it before tearing it apart it sounded as if i had the gain turned way to high on the amp but it was down all the way. I was only running 300 watts to it and it was just makin a farting type of noise, as if there was a bad connection.

There is nothing wrong with the amp because it powers the sub i have in my car just fine.

Any suggestions towards what could be wrong?

Oh yea i will be posting pics later to show whats up.

maybe it was just a bad connection or wired wrong. You may have torn apart a perfectly good subwoofer.

ummmm....did you think maybe, just maybe, you should play the sub on another source BEFORE you tore it apart?

apparently he has money to throw away....or he is just stupid enough to rip shit apart without testing first

"if its stuck pull harder, if it breaks it needed fixing anyways" some how that quote comes to mind in this situation
