I got two from this seller and they were perfect, soft and pliable surrounds. His communication was excellent as well so ask about the surround condition if it isn't a crossover

I've been looking at a few on eBay and they have the split surrounds (or

Re: Is the Binks tool designed to isolate speakers that aren't working?
That cone operates in the midbass and low midrange frequencies, which can be difficult to localize. Given that there's a fair bit of crossover between it and the woofer, it's understandable that it'd
