    Sounds like they've been rode hard and put away wet. Any of the midwoofers frozen or scratchy?

    I'd probably pass given the limited amount of information here.

    If all of the drivers work, might not be too bad. They look better than I thought. New grill cloth is cheap and you can make your own SDA cable cheap.

    Sometimes you can use a piece of tape to pull out dust caps. I'd be a little worried though because with all of them pushed in sound like a kid poking at them for quite some time...

    Avantgarde horns, 300b tubes, thats the kinda crap I want... :D

    you can also use paper towel cardboard roll to suck them out. I have also used a vacuum but it is a two person job. 1 to turn vac on/off just that quick and one to hold driver down to keep from moving. IF YOU USE THIS METHOD DO NOT PULL OFF THE VAC UNTIL NO SUCTION AT ALL. ALSO USE FREE HAND TO HOLD DRIVER DOWN AND PUT VAC ON FIRST BEFORE EVER STARTING IT. THEN ON/OFF THAT QUICK....


    I have used it many time on Polk drivers it works but you need to be very careful I take no responsibility for pulling driver off voice coil.
