I dont know for sure how I blew the driver, but I do know that I have come
home a couple of times and found that one of my teenage daughters friends
has cranked the bass up as high as it would go and all the stuff that
usually sit on the speakers is on the floor. (conversation:"how did this
get
like this?""I dunno, wasn't me") The cone makes a rasping sound when you
move it by hand. No sound comes out of that driver when its hooked up.

I assume the foam surrounds are still intact? Dumb question, I know, but if
the surrounds are shredded, it's possible that the speaker just isn't
aligned properly with the voice coil anymore, thus the rasping sound when
you move the cone.

What are the T/S charateristics and how do I determine them?

Best bet would probably be to ask Infinity.

I have a pair of Infinity SM152 speakers and one of the 15" woofers is
blown
and I'm trying to find a replacement driver. A new OEM driver is over
$300
(CAD) so I am trying to find a generic speaker that will work. I've
tried
a
few already but they are not as effecient and the bass end up sounding
very
weak from one side.

Does anyone have the specs for these old monsters? Specifically the
wattage
rating and the SPL. Frequency response would also be helpfull

**Actually, what you really need are the T/S characteristics of the
drivers.
You can do this, by using the good driver. How did you "blow" the
driver?
Amp go DC?
