I've been with DirecTV for many years, but their prices just keep climbing. I call them about once a year and threaten to cancel, and then they will lower the price and give me a "12 month price". Interestingly, after only a few months, this 'guaranteed' price typically starts increasing again...
Thanks Wayne, the re-foam idea is probably the way to go. The speakers are Optimus T-200's. They worked really good for a lot of years and are all I'll ever need or use. I found a re-foam kit on eBay, so I'll try that.

Greetings, The subwoofer in my existing setup breaks down (probably not the exact proper word) during hard bass hits (like cannon and explosion sequences). I want to upgrade the subwoofer speaker itself to better handle these events. The subwoofer is an aging Optimus Pro SW-12 and it appears...
