[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8790549, member: 614752"] Assuming you could buy the parts and DIY I'd restore that Rockford, but the 130$ for round trip shipping is rough. If you ever feel bold and want to try to rebuild that yourself you may be able to buy new old stock OEM parts from Springfield Speaker Repair. They used to have a lot of that old RF stuff and other parts to fit those. Also not cheap but you'd get OEM or OEM equivalent at least. I'm not always a fan of """upgrade""" on something like this. As if some mope in his garage is going to do better on that motor than a team of engineers and probably years of R&D and testing prototypes. Sure you can make it so that you can throw more power at it but will it still sound as good? Did you just give up so much efficiency that you're throwing more power at it and not even gaining output?
