Default Re: Infinity front speaker replacement help/advice
Bad speakers generally have one of four problems.

1. burned voice coil - smell the speaker cone near the magnet - you'll know - it's cooked so just toss...

2. ripped surround - look at the rubber surround the attaches the cone to the outer frame for rips and tears. If the tear is small enough, it can be repaired with flexible glue/cement.

3. Delaminated Spider - see if you can carefully lift the spider off the frame - if so, glue with some loctite glue and clamp. This picture shows a spider that been ripped - driver no good.

4. Broken wire from connector to voice coil - set you ohm meter to under 20 ohms and measure the resistance... if you get anyware from 1.8 - to 8.2 ohms (depending on a 2, 4 or 8 ohm driver), then wire and voice coil are fine.
