Re: replacement speakers.


Changing the tweeters will almost certainly require a redo of your crossover. Each crossover is custom made for the specifics of the drivers installed.

As for changing the woofers -- if they're from 1971, they've probably degraded enough that replacement would be a good idea.. however, the size, shape and crossover details (again) of that box are specific to the woofer/tweeter combination.

I think this is a long winded way of saying it'd probably be better to start from scratch rather than shoe horn in some different drivers into your existing cabinet.
