replacent drivers needed

gsxr141

i know it's a long shot, but i need some new drivers for old polk speakers.
first i need a new woofer for my psw150 powered sub.
secondly, i need a new woofer for my rt10's.
i did some research, and it looks like the 7 1/2" drivers are no longer available.
if anyone can help out, please pm me.
thanks........... kevin

i was going to, but i in looking for them, i read that they no longer make the rt10 drivers. i will be calling on monday though.
on another note. i may have found a pair of rt10's for $75. i may go this route, and still look for replacements for mine.

gsxr141, why exactly are you needing to replace the drivers? If the voice coil still works, you can find places that can replace or repair the foam surround for a reasonable price. Of course you have to go to the trouble of mailing off the drivers, but I did that with an old set of Acoustic Research speakers (had all four woofers, and the mid-range drivers fixed) and it has worked fine. Eventually though, the capacitors inside speakers can get old and dried out and lose their proper electrical value, so you'd have to consider that before you weighed spending money on fixing old speakers or simply replacing them with new ones. Good luck.

well, the sub driver just started sounding really bad. everything is about 12 years old now, so i guess it's time.
as for the rt10, i caught the cat scratching it earlier today. he put a small slice in the surround. like i said, i've had these speakers forever, and i love the way they sound. if i can, i'd like to fix them and not buy new speakers.

Ditto, I really like my RT10's!
Ben still has my crossovers (Mills resistors, Sonic Caps Gen 1 all around), and I CANNOT wait till I get them back (you reading this Ben? What is this Chistmas thing you speak of?:biggrin:).

You need just one or both woofers?
