    4315B is the only use I know of. Recone kits no longer available. Others may know of options...

    If by "in bad condition" you mean the rubber surrounds are rotten, that's not too big a deal. The surrounds can be replaced. If the cones or voicecoils are damaged then that is a real shame... recone kits show up on eBay from time to time. They make really nice little subs.

    Post photos here... perhaps someone will buy them.


    BTW: The 2203 is identical to the consumer version 124.

    When i got them they had been stored with front side up for more then 5 years so by the weight of the cone and because surrounds has been destroied by age the cone was not in center of itīs moving range ,,I understand that they needed more then new surrounds and as i didīnt have a lot of money at the time i remodeled the surrounds with silicone so that i could use them,,,not a good choise i understand now when hopefully now a little bit more wiser understand that these would be worth some money if i had repaired them in a propor way

    Ps..they are in working condition

    exuse me for my bad english

    Try storing them inverted for a couple of weeks to see if they start to come back.

    With sagged spiders and silicone smeared all over the cone edges, they are now of the same value as empty baskets, or blown 2202 or 2204`s.
    while a pair of 2203`s in good condition or just needing new foams would easily get you a nice wad of cash.

    Repair of 2203

    Contact Ken at Upland Loudspeaker Service and see if he can work his magic on them. He serviced my 'unserviceable' 044Ti tweeters and now they sound like new.
