Glen..... If its just the mid range speakers I would just replace them with better upgraded ones instead of all that messing around with refomeing kits, as long as there black you would never notice there not original ;0)

Glen, order a bunch of belts from CPC online. Sometimes you have to do this to get what you need. Then you are set when you get another box that needs belts.

Yeah I was thinking that very same thing too Stereo Mad but a member from the forum tried to convince me that the original Aiwa speakers were good, but deep down I'm more into your school of thought especially how speakers are made these days you'd get a better sound quality & apparently it wldnt be top expensive to replace either. I haven't done any research as yet but I'm thinking very strongly among those lines. Perhaps some Sony ones like in a vid I saw once. Have u got any suggestions? ?
