Thanks guys.
When it comes to things mechanical, or speakers, I am, as we say in Russian, "рукожоп" which is literally an "a**-handed person" (whose hands grow out of his you know what) or "all thumbs" as you say in English.
At least if I send it out they might be able to salvage the voice coil.
PS. Just spoke to Rich Stamer, he says they do not preserve voice coils but then they do match the impedance so who cares then.
$45 for 8" (not sure what the cathedral 16 speaker size is but it is plus-minus $5).
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
