Picked these up sight unseen for $35. They came in the original shipping boxes and was told everything worked except one of the tweeters so I decided it was good enough to tinker with if they were not worth much. When i went to pick them up I realized exactly how big they were, probably around 50lbs each and ultimately decided either I was going to fix them up and sell them or just part out since there was no more space for wider speakers. When I took them out of the boxes right away I noticed that the woofers were replaced from a pair out of a fender bass cab. The cabinets are really rough and the db knob for the tweeters are either loose or broken on both. Is it worth sourcing new woofers, maybe a tweeter and fix them up or should I just part out what I can and junk/give away the rest? Also if anyone has any idea what the drivers would be worth if they were parted out any input would be appreciated(I only tried to find the woofers but didn’t find anything about their worth). Thanks in advance

I had a pair and mounted them on stands, get some foam on those tweets and you’ll be rewarded. Nice sounding speakers.

They’re likely going to be a complete overhaul, which im fine with doing. Cosmetic damage isn’t an issue and im seeing replacement diaphragms for the tweeters for sale so those wouldn’t be a problem either. I’m having trouble finding replacement woofers although I am looking for only interface C series IV woofers. Do you know if any of the other interface series or EV models share the same woofer?
