I have a pair of Cerwin-Vega speakers I bought years and years ago. Model #36-R. The rubber around both woofers has completely dried up and broken away from the speakers. The other parts of the units are in excellent condition. Because I love them so, I would like to replace both woofers. My questions are:

- Who makes/sells a compatible woofer?
- What specifications do I need to match in order to make an appropriate purchase? Starting with the dimensions (12"), power, req response, sensitivity. Cerwin-Vega has been no help!
- If I were to upgrade the woofers, what specs will I be limited by (besides its 4-8 Ohm impedance).
- What should I expect to pay for a pair of compatible woofers? I guess what I'm really asking is: Is it worth it? Or are the new speakers that much better? I've listened to a lot of new speakers in my day, but few can match the range and depth of my old 36-R's.

Thank you in advance for being as complete with your answer as possible.

Best Regards,
p2

Rather than replace the woofer, you might be able to just replace the surround material. Check your area for a speaker repair shop that does recone and refurb of prosound speakers such as those used for sound production. They'll probably be able to repair your existing woofers and put them back in new condition, and you'll probably be pleased with the price too.
