Hello,
I'm sorry to read of your problem and frustration, I know Polk's CS department is handling an unusually high number of customer related phone calls and email messages. If you can send me, in a PM, your name, address, telephone number, date and place of speaker purchase and the speaker's serial number I'll deliver this information directly to Polk's CS guys (I'm going there today) and ask them to send you a replacement woofer.
Regards, Ken

I am at work right now and can not get serial number till after 5pm eastern time today, i don't believe they are under warranty, i purchased them used at a local stereo shop they were traded in, i had them for about a year as of now but i am not sure how old they are but i will send the info asap in a PM

Hello,
You are correct they would not be eligible for a warranty replacement, however Club Polk members do receive a reduced price and help with shipping. Try telephoning 1-800-377-7655 extension 5208 and explain you are a CP member.
Regards, Ken

Polk has few equals when it comes to CS, I am sure they will fix you up.

Something to think about though - once you replace the woofer, maybe think about changing what's in your sig? Not necessarily what's written, but the mindset behind it.
Just my humble opinion on preventing further damage! lol

Good luck!

i know i got crank it till your ears bleed- but this system is not the system i crank ,i listen to lp's 70's and 80's disco , pop, rock, motown ,never metal ,it is not what damaged the speaker, i play in a band i am the drummer and we play metal, that is what the signature is for ,we have about a 10,000 watt rig for that so i can see why you posted that ,,I just wanted to clear that up

You'd be amazed at how many people have come here complaining about blown stuff, and wonder how it happened.

It's all good, but thanks for the clarification.
