I am new here, and I joined because I need help finding parts for my speakers. I have 2 10'' JL Audio 10W3v2-D4, I contacted JL directly and they told me they don't service their discontinued products. But they gave me a number to a repair shop in FL, and they want $40 per speaker, and I also have to ship them to and from FL. Im wondering if there is anywhere I can get the parts I need, to re-cone and replace the wire connectors on my subs? And if this is something I will be able to do myself. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Wizard India Private, Ltd sells any kind of cone and surround you can think of and you can mix and match them as you see fit.In fact, the can build you a whole woofer if you want them to. Their website is New Page 1.

I don't know if your boss wants to buy motors or build a proprietary design, but Xiamen One Magnet sells all kind of magents including neodymium, alnico, and ferrite of course. Steel for the top plate and backplate/pole assemblies can come from many different steel sources. You will need to have a mechanical engineer design top plate and backplate pole assemblies for a given set of magnets.

As quiet as it is kept, Suzuki Kanshi Co. out of Thailand makes some good voice coil parts for reasonable prices. Their site is http://www.skt-bobbin.com and if you click on 'products' you will see that you can buy voice coil formers made of fiberglass, titanium, or even carbon fiber.

If you want to go with a turn-key woofer solution, Wavecor. Their site is Wavecor speaker innovations.
