I have a JL W7, but the foam thing on the face of the sub ripped cause my brother dropped something on it...it still bumps and everything but that rip causes this sound that flaps about and stuff..is there any where to fix it? do you think if I sell it on ebay..anyone will buy it, if so, how much? thanks

 

can u take pictures of the rip and post them or e-mail them to me at Dnd2984@aol.com and ill take a look at it for you.

 

was size.. 10 or 12? thoes subs pump madd hard im suprised your car dosent fall apart

 

here is the picture...I don't know how big it is..it's my brother's sub..but I got those squeegee things and put it next to it so you can possibly scale it.


don't know...also, it's not in my TL..it's in my brother's 4runner

 

Man, that's sad. Maybe you can get it re-coned? Not sure. Contact JL and see what they say.

 

actually you can get that reconed, and also u can remove that dustcap. If your dont care about the cosmetics of it just use black tape over the crack so the plastic dosnt rattle. I would actually contact JL audio and get it reconed. SInce its a 13w7 (by looks of size) shipping is going to be a btich.

 

that looks like a 12.. possibly a 13 that really sucks thats an expensive sub

 

i don' t know whether it's a 12 or 13 (it's my brother's sub - and he's in iraq), but where do i find more info about getting it reconed?

 

you should call JL

 

JL has a service for those type of things. If it is a 12 it will cost $225 and a 13 is $305. Tell your brother to cough up some cash.

 

terse I sent u a PM

 

Ya call JL they are good about fixing stuff, you have to have proof of purchase however, otherwise they will not fix it. TRUST ME

 

hmm..I thought it was going to be ...2-300 bucks...but..

go hit upt ebay.

 

F that, I can get you a brand new sub that is better then that W7 for less than $470. Totally not worth it IMO.

 

What kind of sub are you talking about?

 

Ofcourse a lot of it has to do with opinion. I think the a 15" Brahma or an RE XXX would kick the s hit out of the W7. Just based on the specs, ofcourse the W7 will sound awesome with less power but if you can feed 1200 watts or more into a Brahma or a XXX in a 4 cuft ported box, they would take it hands down, and if you want even louder you can always feed these subs 2000-3000 watts. These subs are monsters compared to the W7.

 

thats a very nice bass port built into the front of the speaker in the shape of a tear...

 

Here you go. Buy a new one for about the same price.

$470 sounds a little extreme to me. What about everyone else. You know they can replace the cone for next to nothing.

 

the sub is upside down

 

yes, i know...hahah the sub was facing the front of the car..and I flipped it so i could take a picture of it.
