Help Rebuilding A Awt18x Linear Compression 18" Sub

[OBNXIOU$]

Hokay... Soo I bought this AWT18X Sub from a shop a few years back. The sub had a twin, and it was in their demo car which took an unfortunate demise and rolled over. It took me close to a year to finally build a box and get it into my car. Anyways I played it for a few days, and then it pretty much seized. I had it tested, it was definitely FUBAR.. It wasn't anything that I did wrong, I didn't hammer it hard, I didn't distort it and it was definitely wired correctly. In the mean time.... The shop I bought the sub from when belly up and they were utterly useless, much like at the time of purchase. So what I am curious about is if anyone would know anything about these subs, and how I could get a rebuild kit or any suggestions. Currently, its a hundred something pound chunk of aluminum that works great for a paper weight. Here are the specs... P.S they don't make it anymore. If I can figure out how to put pictures of it up, I would..

# PHAT 2" Foam Surround

# Titanium Aluminum cone

# Dual 2 Ohm Voice Coils

# 1 Ohm or 4 Ohm Operation

# Titanium / Aluminum Cone

# PATENT PENDING

# SIZE : 18"

# Magnet Weight: 480 oz

# Power Handling : 4000 RMS

# Frequency Response : 18Hz - 500Hz

# Efficiency: 88.1dB

# Voice Coil : 5" Dual 2 Ohms

# Operation : 1 ohms or 2 Ohms

# Mounting Depth : 9 3/8"

# Hole Cutout : 17 7/8"

# Outer Diameter : 20 1/4"

THANKS IF YOU CAN HELP ME OUT!!

EDIT: Realized that that could look a little obnoxious. I can't help you with info on rebuilding the sub, but I can link you to a page that teaches you how to post pictures.

In the mean time, this is the page I found on the AWT18X

EDIT2: OP, I found this: http://www.canadiancaraudio.com/online/gen...18x-repair.html

I doubt you'll be able to repair it unless you can get parts direct from Audiobahn. It uses too many 'odd' bits, like a 5" coil.

Yeah I figured, the link on the previous post to the Canadian Car Audio site, was me back in 06 trying to find some help on rebuilding it. I haven't drove the car in about 2 summers, so it hasn't been a big deal, but I figured I would give it a shot, its such a cool looking sub. If anyone has any suggestions keep them coming... Thanks
