[Shotimes] subwoofer Foam Surrond Replacement

[Jim & Debbie Leyden]

JL Audio used to make a 6WO-6 and that was a decent sounding 6 Ohm Sub.  It
was discontinued about two years ago.  The only other 6.5" 6 Ohm Sub I have
found had a miniscule 9oz. magnet and looked like it was made for marine
applications.

I swear this is one that I tried.  Most of the things I tried were
from PartsExpress, since they're right up the road from me.  I was
intrigued that this was the proper impedence and figured if anything
aftermarket would sound good, this would be it.  I mean, it's Pioneer.
 It's the right size.  The proper impedence.

If I still had it I would give it to someone on the list.  Seriously. 
I'm pretty sure it found its way into my garbage can.

For some reason I just can't find anything aftermarket that sounds as
good as the factory JBL, and that isn't really saying much!

I'd like to hear someone's SHO that's stock except for the JL Audio 6W0.
