Have PSI recone it for you, then repeat

My buddy has an Old Skool 12" Rockford Power Series that he just had reconed by PSI/Fix My Speaker and it sounds like poopy. I sure it could be his tuning and enclosure but i would prolly just have it reconed by Fi, well i would order a recone kit and do it myself.
And no Dakota i do not abuse it. I was giving it 2300 rms for a bit but it handled it great. No bass boost, all my bass curves are flat. Tuned properly.
And Monte.. Im using the biggest amp i got. LOL.
HOWEVER... I had a guy call me yesterday. wants to trade me:
His BNIB Old Skool PPI PC2350, I believe he said PPI PC650, PPI EQ/crossover, PPI sub, and $200 for my Fi Q with an amp and my 12" Audiobahn Flame Q with an amp.
Those 2350'* are NICE, and are pretty expensive on ebay.
I had a PPI pcx2400, incredible amp!

Out of all the car audio boards I go to and all the psi recones i've seen/heard about, this is the first time i've ever heard anyone say anything negative about anything regarding psi so clearly i'm a little skeptical. There'* alot I don't know about the situation and his setup so I can't come to a conclusion either so it is what it is.

Im sure it has alot to do with his set up and not the sub its self. I just have never seen another PSI sub to compare it to. Im sure if i had them recone it i would be happy with the out come. I know one thing tho, once he had it reconed it was tight! Like the suspension was really tight. U could punch it and it would barely move but thats not necessarily a bad thing
