It may be more cost-effective to build a new loudspeaker system. Again, if your goal is to upgrade the loudspeakers with higher quality drivers, you should first consider whether the quality of the cabinets and crossovers is worth the cost of the new drivers. Access is usually gained by removing the largest drive-unit. How difficult these modifications will be depends on how easy it is to gain access to the cabinet interior. Madisound offers many brands of replacement loudspeakers and crossover parts. It really depends at that point how much you like the original cabinets, and what condition they are in and if they used good quality materials. However once you are at the point of replacing all drivers and electrical components, it may not be practical and you might be better off just starting from scratch, which could save time and money in the long run. Upgrading woofers for example can increase the bass response and power handling of your system. Organic materials in the drivers can dry rot while many types of capacitors can dry out and lose their effectiveness. Many loudspeakers over twenty years old contain parts that have either decayed over time or were of poor quality in the first place. Over time, loudspeaker components tend to decay.
