Looks like you could replace them entirely for under
$100,
so it depends
on how much you like refoaming stuff.

I'm sorry, I'm not following you. How could I replace
them
for under $100?

And thank you by the way. Two helpful replies when I
really
wasn't expecting one.

Well, that site I linked offers a comparable woofer for
$60 each. IIRC
refoam kits are usually available for around $40. It's a
bit of work
to do it, but it's not too hard of a job if you know
basic electronics.

Refoaming requires zero knowledge of electronics. Even you
could do
it. Hard part is cosmetics. Getting the driver functional
is
trivial.

You two crack me up. You stalk one another like an
obsession. Is there something going on you'd like the world
to know?

I'm not too worried about being able to refoam the woofers.
I hate that I have to cut out the dust caps, but I guess
it's a necessary part of the process. I'll invest in the
refoams for $25 and see how they sound. I don't think I'll
opt for new drivers at $60 each.

Thanks all.

Orange county speaker will do it if you send them the
driver.
