Could you clarify what you mean by blown?Is it burned voice coils, rotted surrounds, open voice coils, structural damage other than the above?
Often people have come to me with blown woofers to only need a re-surrounding.
In some instances, your woofers can be repaired to original state.

To clarify, it is rotted surrounds, the speakers are over 25 years old. When I hooked them up to my upgraded receiver I had no sub hooked up and the power was too great to the old speakers without a powered sub. Thanks for the response,Alan

Here's some inexpensive sources of surrounds that were mentioned in another discussion somewhere:

If you have a local electronics dealer of the sort that caters to TV repairmen, they may stock some generic surrounds.
Or, if you don't mind paying more, someone will probably sell you a repair kit for roughly $30 a pair.
Excellent advice. Re-surrounding the old frames, providing the voice coils are not damaged is the best choice.
Parts Express advertises repair of blown speakers. I have not tried that service from them. I have been very happy with my parts purchases from them over the years. Best of luck with your Infinity's.
