SONAB OA-116 upgrade questions- woofers, mids, tweeters?

[hatrack71]

I was given a pair of these for free due to the fact both bottom woofers need to be refoamed and both upper mids have been replaced with 6.5" Sansui drivers. I think one or both is missing one of the tweeters. My question is where do I track down the original mids, tweeters and possibly a set of emblems? are there suitable drivers for upgrade on these. I've heard a lot of good things about these but want to just get them going with the proper drivers before I do a complete physical overhaul. Looks like they have a decent build quality. Anyone redone these before?

hi, first my english is bad....http://cdn1.dastatic.com/forums/imag...es/biggrin.gif
but i think you need help.

last week i make my sonab oa-116 ready to listen to. it´s the hifi heaven

you miss 2 tweeters?
there are six tweeters to every speaker, the last place (7th) is to put one of the tweeters in another position. you don´t have 6 tweeters, i have 4 of them.

the mids are the biggest problem, original sonab mids are not avalible in europe.
i think it´s the same in america?
they must have 16 Ohm, but it is not the important speaker of these oa-116. replace it with a good working speaker with 16 Ohm, playing 200 Hz - 2500 HZ. the sansui have 16 Ohm?

the woofers are the important speakers - they must have 5,3 ohm in original.
refoam the speakers with foam material, not with rubber.

for emblems look to ebay...
