I got 2 JL13W3 that are blown just sitting in my room.... can i get soft parts from anyone for these so i can fix them... the VC's blew up no idea how they were ran but the motor and all still look fine i think its the v2 but does that matter?
I think JL started getting pissed because shops were taking their parts and throwing them together half-assed and then people were trying to bring the completed woofers back for warranty, so they stopped selling parts to shops. Your best bet is to call them and ask about warranty replacement, assuming you have one.
And if I am not mistaken, I think JL stopped reconing altogether. Look at this post from speakerrepair.com, which is one of the biggest recone shops in the US:
JL Audio
