I don't know about OEM suppliers. However both HiVi Research and AuraSound make 2" metal cone drivers. Check Madisound and Parts Express if you're interested

i looked at those and they would work but they start at $15 and up.
I swear the one I saw was about $3 -$4 and it was "official" replacement.
basically, I wanted to make some line array speakers with those for my brothers shop. "especially since I took his speakers" I thought 8 little 2" drivers on each side would be pretty cool, hes gonna have a long bench along the back of his 2 car garage and I wanted to make him something nice..

ill still look. I remember this company sold units "made" for tv's with housing and wires and whatnot. ill keep looking

i haven't seen any OEM driver, but i work at an apple reseller (university book store) i will give the repair center a call and see if i can get a hold of some replacement drivers.

(on another note) those things are decent for moderate volumes but one you start pushing them they lose the top end. I was amazed at how much xmax they have, i cranked some Floyd at the store and i swear it was pushing at least 3mm, it was rather impressive.
