Screwed up? It should read 3 ohm.

if the coil should read 3 ohm and its reading six thats not good. and if its shifted its a dead woofer.

If the magnet has shifted, you wasted 125$. If it's just a VC or cone issue, get a recone. I don't want to know how much one of those would be from JL though

about 400

Does the cone move in and out at all when you push on it? Or is it scraping at all? If it's not playing in the condition it's in now, sounds like it's going to be an extremely expensive adventure to get it working again.

the cone is cracked to hell from what he showed me.

Hate to say it, but it's starting to look more and more like this one was a "bad buy"
