    2X REL Q150E for $190. Is this a good deal?

    I have a chance to replace my JBL Control SB-5 passive sub, driven by a mission Cyrus 1 80s amp, with two of these. They have no hum or clicks, but I don't mind re-capping them anyway. Is this a good price for two? Thank you in advance. Garry

    Goliath II sub sounds "gravelly"

    I have a Goliath II sub that sounds gravelly or scratchy. It has been re foamed but I don't think it has been re capped. Is it just a bad foam job or would some new caps clean up the audio? Or is the driver toast?
