I've got a pair of Infinity SL 10 bookshelves. Nice cabinets but the speakers themselves are cheap, so I don't want to spend too much money on them. One of the little woofers came apart at the foam surround. It's a 5.25" woofer. I'm not looking for the best sound quality since these are inexpensive <$100 speakers in the first place. I think that the crossover point is 4.5khz. Overall, it's a 6ohm system.
Should I get a drop in replacement? Perhaps a cheap Dayton driver or some such? Any recommendations?
Or should I get the driver re-edged?
An Infinity replacement driver from Infinity will cost me $52, so that's a last resort.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I recommend you replace the surrounds of both bass drivers.
Fitting new units is a lottery, the silver flutes cannot
be recommended due to the treble peak, the same
applies to the Dayton woofer.
Replacing the surrounds is by far the best option.

Haha, I wish I had enough skills to design a crossover 😛
I ended up epoxying the cone back to the surround as carefully as possible, and it seems to work fine 😛 Not expecting super great sound anyway.
Thanks guys!

Then how do you know that it is crossed at 4K5? I'm wondering about the inductor value, the bass quality, and the tweeter relative quality.
