OK< so I have this old PA and speakers that I don't use much anymore. Someone needed a PA and I dusted it off.....sorta....the speakers have been out in my garage in Florida for 10 years.
When using the system, there was definate crackling coming from both speakers. When I got them back home, I took them apart a bit to see if the woofers were cracked or damaged. Figured they were because:
1) Could dust and crap on the woofer cause this?
2) Is there anyway I can confirm that it's the woofer?
3) I haven't used these in 10 years + so I am not really inclined to spend a bunch of money to repair. Is a woofer basically a woofer? I mean I know that there are different quality ones, but are there other specs that I would need to check other than the size to make sure that a new one that I might be inclined to get would work?
Thanks in advance.

the speakers have been out in my garage in Florida for 10 years.To my surprise, they looked fine. There's a tweeter up top but I can't really see anything with that. So here are my questions:
1) Could dust and crap on the woofer cause this?
2) Is there anyway I can confirm that it's the woofer?
