You can try the "battery test". All you need is a 1.5 volt flashlight battery and a wire. AA, C or D. Don't use anything more powerful than that. Take the woofer and mid out, hold one end of the battery to one terminal of the speaker, and run the wire from the other end of the battery to the other terminal. If the cone moves and you hear a clicking sound then the speaker is good. If the battery test shows the woofer and mid are good, then there was something wrong in the wiring in the speaker cabinet.
For replacement 12 and 5 inch drivers on the cheap, I'd look at pawn shops, junk stores, yard sales and the like. Probably some car stereo speakers would do. You could try like a 12" car woofer, and a 5" car stereo speaker. Those are usually cheap and easy to find. Just be careful if the speakers have foam surrounds they may be rotten if they are too old.
You used to be able to buy drivers at Radio Shack but I don't think they sell them any more.
Buying from eBay probably isn't worth it, especially with shipping, unless you can do local pickup. You could keep your eye on Craigslist if there is one in your area.
good luck
