Default Rear Speaker Blown - any suggestions for a replacement?

My right rear speaker blew for a 3rd time! I don't know why it's always that one, but they keep replacing it, and it keeps blowing. Anyhow, I'm sick of this (and given that it's no longer under any warrantee) does anyone have a suggestion for a good drop in replacement? Nothing outrageously expensive..

Thanks,
Reza

Default Try taking the dome off....I ripped mine off and the thing is silent.

Or you could just reglue it, but I tried this and it worked fine.

I would suggest keeping the dust cap...just use good glue.

Default i found this tech article, but it seems way too hard...

is there an easier way to get sufficient access to reglue without removing the speaker? And what type of glue - any examples?<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec58.shtml">https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec58.shtml</a</li></ul>
