Where to get a sub reconed or a recone kit?

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

I have 2 Orion P Series motors from 2 15's that i hooked to the wall socket. Now I do not want to throw them away because they seem to be good motors, the BL on them is 23.37 i think, I am a noob on motors is that good? If so where can i get them reconed. I already contacted FI and they said they could not do it because they did not know enough about the coils, so who else would be able to do it for a reasonable price thinking about reconing them with better soft parts and using them in my room.

whyd you hook them up to the wall socket if you wanted to keep them?

or maybe it was on its way out already.. coil rub or something of the like...

they were already on there way out, the coil locked up and it was fun to watch them go up in smoke

I had been waiting for a reason to wall socket a sub and once the coils locked up on them I had one.

called Atomic and they can recone one but they would not do the other one because when the coil locked up it misaligned the topplate and they said that would not be worth their time and labor to fix it.

like i said atomic... they will fix the one... if they refuse to fix the other then your pretty much **** out of luck... there the only company i can think of that will recone basically anything

odd that they can diagnose that without seeing it...

yeah that is what i was thinking but i guess i will only be able to recone one of them I guess the other motor will go to waste.

I guess i will give them a call even though they list every manufacturer but Orion. I am really tempted to let Atomic do it though simply because they would use their coils and soft parts, which I know are high quality I just wish they would realign the top plate on the other one and recone that too.
