Are they really blown, or is the rubber surround just rotted? It could be an
easy cheap fix.
Rubber usually does not rot, and it's not regular rubber. There are three
basic surround types.
More to the point, I think:
What brand of speakers are they?
If they're a pair of Pioneer HPM-60's, they're probably not worth
repairing.
Too many drivers, but solid cabs.
If they're a pair of BOSE 901's, then you'll find some sucker on
ebay that will pay through the nose for them (no highs, no lows,
must be bose).
Probably did not get blown out, but may have fallen out. For what it's
worth, I know a lot about these.
A pair of Infinity QE's, should be fixable (and may just have a blown
fuse).
If they're a pair of Maggies, get 'em fixed!
It's funny the OP seems to be ignoring posting pictures or makes. Maybe we
got some Sound Design goodies. fishers ?
I've built many speakers, and have fixed many. It's not usually quick and
easy fix.
I can't cross post.
