Well I have given up on the repair route there just seems to be to much damage. I stopped by a couple of stores on my way home this evening to listen to some subs and I could not get a decent audition or knowledgeable salesmen for that matter at all. I don't mind spending some money for a replacement but I do want to know what I am getting. Are any of you in the north Jersey area that would be interested in getting me into a new sub? I would like to hear any recommendations for a nice quality replacement.
