JL Fathom repair

I have a JL F112 and the rubber surround has developed a hole in it.  I am located in the Portland Oregon area and there doesn't seem to be anyone that can do the repairs....it sounds like you have to ship this massive thing back to JL in Florida for something that should be pretty simple.  Does anyone have any suggestions or alternatives for repair that don't involve a return to JL?

JL Audio has a program that for $300 they will bring the sub back to the original operating conditions. Replacing caps, boards etc. 
I thought it would be a good idea since mine is quite a few years old and was exhibiting a rattling sound on low bass.

Well its been over 3 weeks now and I can't seem to be able to get any information on my sub. Shane from JL originally was communicating with me but for the past week there has been no reply.

I hope I get the sub back...

Well I may be changing my mind about recommending JL Audio Service. Today is 2 weeks since I sent my JL-F-113 in for repair and they haven't looked at it yet.
Originally I was told it was about a 3 week turnaround. Now that they have it I'm being told it may be 3 weeks until they look at it. They said sorry about the confusion. More like BS...

I just sent my F-113 in for updating. It is quite a massive unit to ship.
But, it is really the only way to get it fixed correctly.
