My rear sub woofer is popping, I saw a repair kit on this site that fixes/replaces the foam around the sub, will that fix the popping of is entire speaker bad?

It's my good faith belief(not sure) that it will fix it. A speaker is simply a magnet and paper and the popping is the result of the current hitting that paper and being directed in a way that doesn't sound good. The magnet/metal pieces of speakers is rarely the part that goes bad, but rather it's the paper and soft bits that tear, corrode, or separate over time and use. So long as you don't have any tears in the paper, you should be good, but I would try to replicate the error and see how the speaker behaves before you committed to the cheapie fix.

Good advice, thanks
Could definitely be the voice coil though. I blew a 10" JL sub recently. Didn't even think I was playing it that loud. RMS 500 watt running with a 500 watt amp. Check the cone's condition first, however.
