Replacement diaphragms if the highs go.
I have a pair, but can not find no source to replace the fried diaphragms.
I would save your $$$ and eventual agitation and pass on these.

Hi Oface, Just a thought re your fried horns on these PAX 30g's . Have you taken a look inside the horn to see the issue?
I ask because I pulled mine apart and noticed a really bad design flaw which is easy to fix and may be the source of your problem: The very fine wire from the voice coil horn is soldered directly to two screws that you can see from outside the horn. These screws have nuts on them. It is basically impossible to remove the nuts (and examine the inside of the horn) and not rotate the screw that the voice coil wire is soldered to. The wire simply gets ripped off because its like the thickness of a hair. For some reason the lads at Pioneer chose not to provide some key detail on the screw to prevent it rotating.
Anyway I learnt this issue the hard way, and managed to resolder the wires. And this time fixed the screws with hot melt so they wont rotate. Cleaned up the pots on both speakers and they're sounding good.
Anyway I just thought there's a slim chance this may be your issue, in which case they can be fixed but it is fiddly.
Yeah true that. But then again, if they sound fantastic I'm willing to bet that I'll get $130 bucks worth of enjoyment out of them before they eventually die. If they don't sound that great I assume I could sell them straight away for no loss.
