I have another set of speakers to restore. I think they'll sound great when finished. The first problem is that the foam surrounds on the 8.5" SEAS (corrected) woofers have perished. I was considering doing replacements myself, but I believe it's a bit tricky and I'm clumsy. Both are reading 6 Ohms on a DVM, so I'm hopeful a re-surround would be worthwhile. Falcon has told me that original driver is unobtainable, but they do have a replacement. I'll need to contact Falcon again to get the driver model details.
I haven't actually used the speaker as I removed the drivers to check and get more info about them, but their markings are unreadable. If I replace the drivers and use the speaker, is there any way to determining if the units are faulty by listening or other methods?
Also, I'm sure the XOs will need re-capping. They appear to be mounted to a panel which is part of the top of the cabinet. Anybody, familiar with these speakers know how to get the XOs out? I can provide photos later if that helps.
