HELP! sunn magna 18" 4ohm speaker (repost from classified)

*i already posted this in classified, not sure if that's the right place or not, you be the judge*

hi all, i'm new here, i hope someone has some advice. 

i recently bought a set of 1x18s used from a local store for a great price, and after using them for a few weeks/months one of them started sounding like crap.  i opened it up and sure enough there was a tear in the original sunn magna 4 ohm speaker.  i replaced it with an 8ohm black widow while trying to find someone to recone the original, and in the interim the 2nd speaker started sounding like crap.  i opened IT up to find the speaker in fine order, just a little dirty, BUT it was not the original 4 ohm sunn magna, in fact it was an 8 ohm (something something, sorry, i'm not a gearhead guy, it's at home and i can update later if anyone has any questions.)

so i'm getting my 4 ohm sunn magna back reconed soon and am eager to use it, but i'm really looking forward to playing thru these 1x18s as a full stack, and i'd rather wait til i have the same speakers in both to do so.  so, my question(s) is/are: does anyone have a good resource for this particular speaker?  does anyone have one of these speakers they'd like to sell me, even if it's in disrepair?  does anyone have any general advice about this situation?

thanks, looking forward to hearing back!

Welcome to our place in the Sunn

I wish that I could help you, but I only have a Cerwin Vega 18" 300 watt that works great, but it's an 8 ohm.  Make sure to check CL, Ebay and even speaker rebuild shops.  Those shops many times have some great speakers that were repaired and never picked up.  Often for the amount owed on it.  Good hunting.
