d2benz,
The following is quote from you right here at ODJT from August 13,2013 -
"I've owned a pair of these great speakers for about 2 years and have had numerous problems, mostly failed woofer that have been reconed many times. EV even replaced one of my speakers at one point. between the 2 speakers the woofers have been reconed about 12 times...at about $180 each time and cost of renting replacement speakers while mine is down...I've paid enough money to buy another pair....oouuch!!"
I wasn't hanging around here at the time, but it looks like your still peeing through drivers so now your going to change them yourself. That's cool, but obviously something is seriously wrong that this continuously happens.
#1 - You need to closely examine the failed driver and try to figure out it's failure mode. Voice coil burn up, spyder (inner suspension) broken, etc..
Basically your trying to determine if it was too much current that caused it to fail, too much heat, or too much cone excursion. No sense guessing if we don't have to. If it's not abuse then you have to have something earlier in the electrical sound stream that is doing this.
#2 - Under ideal conditions, drzinc is right, you should use an exact replacement driver. These are NOT ideal conditions. Until you figure out what is happening I think steve149 is correct - call Parts Express and get the cheapest driver that has similar mechanical/electrical specifications ( the so called Thiele/Small parameters).
My two cents.
