P38A Replacement speakers for BASS unit in the boot.

I tried a search but I am rubbish at it and could not find any relevant threads.
The speakers on the top of my BASS unit in the boot are both broken with the plastic/sponge material that joins the cone to the speaker frame all disintegrated.
Are there "plug compatible" replacements available for a reasonable cost?
Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance folks.

You can replace that sponge material quite easily, did it a while ago on mine.
So long as the actual cone isn't damaged and moves up and down freely, you'll be fine

There's lots of how-tos on YouTube.
Basically, get the speakers out and unplugged, take the top ring off and carefully clean the old glue and foam off stick the new one in place then refit the top ring once the foam has stuck to the cone or it will come unstuck

I did mine a long time ago think it was 6 1/2 inch I used.

Of course I'm not having 2 1/2 inches off for anyone.

Definitely 6 1/2 inch not long enough for big Al is it pal

I did a how to guide when I did mine, have a search

I simply bought some of these on eBay. I found some for £30 a pair few years back. Got them in sub & front doors.

Advantage is there's no foam to gather damp, & the rubber surround should last longer.

Do they fit straight in?

In the sub yes. Cannot remember if the door screw positions are same, but you can easily drill new holes & use self-taps.

I got these

@kermit_rr how did you remove the speakers from the sub-woofer box? Mine won't come out.
I was hoping to remove them and repair them on a clean bench and then put them back, but I cannot get them out.

TIA

Dan.

I can't remember.. fiddly getting the wires unclipped.. but i'm sure they just unscrewed and lifted out?

Well, these won't come out at all without you completely removing the whole sub-woofer unit & CD multichanger and splitting the sub-woofer box.
The speakers are somehow fastened to a thick metal plate inside the box. Trying to prise the speaker out just result in a bent-plate.
Totally stuffed now as the wires have come off the speakers so they HAVE TO COME OUT to be reconnected.
Mine does NOT look like this at all.


To make matters worse, this sub-woofer is badged LR and has no similarity to the one in RAVE.
