If it's only the surrounds that have decayed on the woofers, you can get resurround kits and fix them. On the other hand, no-name speakers tend to be built from the cheapest components available and that money and effort might be better spent on new drivers.
Pictures would help... someone may recognize the speaker system or drivers.
And, maybe I should point out that there are a lot of decent stereo speakers being sold cheap at thrift stores and yard sales. I got a pair of Energy mini-monitors for $6, and a pair of Mission 701 for $25. The grille cloth on both are scruffy, but apart from that they work fine. You might be better off picking up working speakers and refinishing the cabinet and grille.
On the other other hand, buying a good kit (drivers and crossover and plans) should get you speakers that would sell for many times that price, the kind of speakers that do not turn up at yard sales unless one is extremely lucky.
