find the biggest amp you can and have fun with the tweeter

Find out how much a re-cone is and then the price of replacment and then decide for yourself. My suggestion would be to replace...

k i think ill do the recone then, cause this was my first car audio investment and i don't want to just throw them out. and if i was to peplace them i would have no idea as to where to buy them.
im not all to sure if i want to go shopping on ebay quite yet.

From what you were implying by "ripping out the tweeters" is that they are co-ax's... do they even re-cone co-ax's?

im not sure all i know is that it's a fanatic HPC2205 5 1/4 speaker. the guys at sound obbsessions just built me a system off thier computer and they put them on thier and i said ill take'em. o and they we're also on the sale table or that table that im begining not to like.

I dont think its very common to recone small (cheap) speakres... although Iam sure you can, it'll cost ya.... (replacements from ebay might be about the same)

Also, if the reconer cab save the cone at least they will look the same... but with different spiders/coils you will have 2 different speakers....

You cannot re-cone Rockford coax or seperates....only subs.

Dude, if you are only allowed to buy from local stores, then why even mention buying from ebay. You are your own worst enemy.... loudti has it bang on in this case, even if they could be reconed, it would be more expensive than buying a new speaker.
