Ron-Interesting thread and I too say go for it. If your idea works, I think there are quite a few people also missing their 18" speaker and you could turn a profit by offering some of these retros as plug and play replacement speakers. I could even sell the 3 I have and replace them and pay off my mortgage all at the same time (Just Kidding !!)

Your explanation of the dual voice coil explains a similar problem i ran into on my MP v speaker-My repairman said one of the 2 voice coils was bad but the speaker still works fine. I could not understand why till i read your explanation.
