Hope I'm replying correctly, first time on a forum. The quickest way to verify a burned speaker is simply pushing in & out on the cone. If you feel rubbing it's fried hence the 1 ohm short. Someone mentioned the FH18 woofer. There is actually an American and a Chinese version of that speaker. Same basic parts except a small difference in the voice coil. I happen to have two freshly rebuilt Chinese fh18 8 ohm in stock. The customer left them over 30 days ago so they are now up for sale for to recover repair costs. $140. ea plus shipping. If interested I may be contacted @ [email protected]
Close, but you need to put your WHOLE name as your display name, including surname.
Pushing in on the cone will check for debris in the voice coil gap, but a speaker can be fried without debris, and a speaker with debris can not be fried. So it's not a good indicator of fried voice coil.
Finally, you may have better luck putting your for sale items in the marketplace, or PMing the user. I don't think its against the rules posting in the thread, but you'll likely get a better response the other way.
