Hello all, first post. I recently inherited a pair of AR8b speakers. They look like they’re in pretty good condition except for one of the woofers (pics attached) and possibly the tweeter.
Several questions:
- Judging from the photo, should the woofer be repaired or replaced?
- If repaired, what does this entail?
- If replacement is needed, how does the original come off?*
- If replaced, what’s a good replacement 6 1/2” woofer?
*I can’t find any info online about how to safely remove woofers in speakers like these and I don’t want to damage the wires.
Many thanks for any feedback or insight into these questions.

Thanks JKent for the welcome and all for the quick responses with pics and wiring diagram. I was able to get the wires off and detach the woofers as you explained - the wires were very tight but luckily I pulled them out without damaging them - I will likely send into Millersounds to get both woofers repaired.
Thanks again, this is a great community.
