JBL GT122D Update 2-27-16

Who here remembers the JBL GT122D woofer ? To make a long story short I just found four of them I put in my storage back in or around 1999 :ph34r: after 17 years there no cone left in them :lol: So I decided to re-cone them. Now here's my question when I checked the voice coil one side is 3.1ohm and the other is 2.7ohm and this is on all four of them and these woofer's are supposed to be dual 4 ohm. so what do you guy's think should I replace the voice coil's also?

What they use to look like :vava:

When you re-cone the voice coils get replaced any way.

The only bad thing is the coils are a custom order but the cost is not bad about $20.00 a piece with a three week lead time at least the cone and spider are off the shelf parts.
