Seems like a super easy job unless im missing something

From scrutinizing your pictures, I think they will just about center themselves. I would adhere the foam under the cone for easier centering. The outer diameter of the foam will probably fit snug inside of that frame's lip, so basically centering itself (although play low volume just to be sure).

Will have to slice the surrounds off the frame area as its super thing & appears to be super secure...
Havent tried heat yet.

Slicing it off with a knife would be my go to. No need to worry about scratching the frame since it will be covered.

Need to figure out if I want to throw money at them...

I put an email out to Polk, but im guessing these are going in the trash....
Thoughts, can the surrounds be easily replaced & is it worth it...?
Im not attached to them, but if I remember correctly they were a small fortune back in 00 & they still are really loud...
Some 19 year old punk kid plowed into 3 parked vehicles on side of the road & my 00 expedition I has since it was new will most likely be totaled....

So I started pulling door speakers & fosgate punch amps.View attachment 65690View attachment 65691View attachment 65692

These are 25 years old- they have no repair parts- never did. I don't know of a single speaker manufacturer, other than pro, that sells replacement surrounds.

Contact Speaker Exchange in Minnesota.

There are plenty of 6.5-7" replacement surrounds.

Repair the affected area with some pure black silicone caulk. Smooth it out and leave it to dry.

Does the surrounds affect sound that much replacing it. I would think since 2000 that’s pretty much time for a new one. Punch is the name of the speakers. Because of wears and tears to the copper wirings, may not be as effective to do so. But you can always use it as a bench test radio. May not be optimal after all these years. Reminds me of high school years. Did you get in? Jack said I have to wait for it. Then maybe…​

If not repairable in the end... turn them into functional art.

Lights
Lamps
clocks
cup holders
and so on.
