Need help with replacing an OEM driver for speakers

[_thelaughingman]

Hey all,

I have a pair of old RTR G-200 speakers that are handed down to me by my father in law. They were in a bad shape when I got them and I was able to re-cone the drivers on them. The primary driver's are 10 inch and has 12 inch passive radiators on both speakers. Lately I have noticed the left side 10' driver distorting when a song is bass heavy (these were supposedly damaged due to my sister in law cracking up the volume on them, back before I got them). It almost sounds like it is blown but I can hear all the mids and no low frequencies. I understand that these are old and definitely not worth a lot to invest money in but they work wonderfully for my needs at the moment and would not want to upgrade to something new. I have been looking online to find replacement OEM driver for them but can't locate them and the specifications for the speakers don't indicate the frequency response for the 10' drivers. I am listing the specifications I have found online for the speakers, hopefully someone can guide me to a solution. Cheers

Specifications:
10' woofer
12' passive radiators
120 watts at 4ohm
91db
25-25000Hz frequency response.

Hi. I'd pull the offending driver out of the cabinet and check it's resistance with a multimeter for weird readings. Check it moves freely by hand carfully. Assuming it measures amd feels ok next I would run it free air connected directly to the amplifer. This will let you know if the driver is definitely bad or not. If not , be worth checking the crossover and wiring for problems.
