what do you do with old subs?

[LD]

I have a pair of subs, one is blown the other is fine, but I don't want them
do I just toss them in the trash or what?
I feel kinda bad throwing $200 in the trash (course it aint $200 no more)
but still
what do u guys do?

I'd try to repair it. what's blown? the coil?

if it's the surround (an easy fix), or the cone itself, use epoxy.

the coil fix is a bit more involved

What kind of subs are they? You say one of them is fine...i might be interested in the one. I just blew both of my 12's a couple days ago.

I use them as weapons.

Well, I have blown 3 so far. I lit the rf he2 on fire in the bon fire, one of the kicker l5's I sent back to get another one, when I blew the second one, I punch the cone to see if it would move(the cone was froze) I just cracked the cone. I took the magnet off of it and threw the rest away.
