broken sub?
well one of my subs stopped working about two days ago. today when i had time to troubleshoot, i pulled it out of its box and what to my suprise
one of the wires connecting to the cone part has ripped itself out of the speaker beyond repair?
2 questions:
what do i do about this?
an audio store in town said i had to send it in, but i don't want to send it in, costing me some overpriced figure, to have them tell me that i have to pay more money so i can get a fixed sub?
second, any ideas what happened? i've just used it normally since i've had it and its only one of the 2 subs, i'm confused.

specs of the sub are:
i believe its the 2004 'model' of the kicker comp vr, i know its a kicker comp vr but i donno what year
dual voice coil
4 ohms
the 'tinsel' as someone called it seems to have fallen out of a hole of some kind. the other ones look like they have some kind of covering on them that is holding them in. kicker says they don't fix them and a shop says they can't do anything, so i think i'm out of luck but any tips?

two options - not sure where you live, but there's a place in rochester, ny called "the speaker place" they do speaker repairs. Or you can look on Ebay - i found 4 used kicker comp vr's (similar to yours) but i don't know what the ohm resistance is on these, but here's the direct link:

here's the info for the speaker place:

enjoy and BASS ON!
