I have a Carver Sunfire True Sub MK2
It has a blown speaker.
Carver wants $600 to replace it.
I want whatever they are smoking.

Can anyone advise what to do here? Is it something I can replace myself easily enough and does anyone even know what drivers they use? They won't just sell me the speaker of course...no money in that.

I could sell it on E-Bay as a broken sub but I doubt I'd get much for it.

Any thoughts?

Russ,

I had a similar problem but had a replacement driver that I picked up on ebay a while back. My advice would be to:

1) look for a replacement driver on ebay around $200 - $250 when they become available
2) sell the unit as a parts unit with open driver (probably around $75 - $100 on ebay - I think the last one I saw went for $80 a few months ago)

Unfortunately you can not have the sub reconed - so you're stuck with the options above...

If you still have the unit I'd be interested in it as I like to keep replacement parts handy in case mine blows again - don't want to pay what Sunfire charges.
