I have just won a pair of the above.

One working fine but the other is kaput. Both drivers blown.

I only need one, but obviously nice to have a pair. Does anyone know what the oem driver is?? What are the chances of being able to rebuild it??

Chances of finding drivers are low to non-existent.

However I can tell you if you replace the drivers with something else, they make nice bass guitar 2x10" cabs!!!  Got a pair loaded with Celestion bass guitar drivers, easy to carry, stack nicely and a bass head fits neatly on top!

Well if I can’t find anything suitable I will have to bribe my mate to let me have 2 x 2 inch hf boxes back and stick a pair of mid range 10’s in it/ them.

There are no new drivers for these boxes and the drivers were made for Martin Audio, it's was never a good box to be truthful and the hf section of the drivers died as soon as they were shown any type of stress. I had a pair and did toy with putting some coax drivers in them but in the finish it just wasn't worth it.

I could suggest the unthinkable and put a 10 to 8 inch converter ring in then load with full range Audio Nirvana drivers, would make great DJ monitors.

Turns out Audio Nirvana do a 10 inch model.
8 Inch units are amazing, 10 inch will be a bit punchier, meant to be in a reasonably high volume cab otherwise quite bright.

They're only rated at 30 watts! I don't care how efficient they are, with a rating like that they are never going to be loud enough for any kind of PA work, especially a DJ monitor. I would expect to see them go up in smoke within 5 minutes. Unless you're talking about one of those wine bars where the main system is valve-powered Klipschorns and they only play jazz 78's Wink
