Hi guys,
One of my siren drivers took a dump on me and I don't know who manufactures the dirver. Is there a diaphragm for it or does anyone have a driver for sale? I need to be whole again.

Are there any ink stamped numbers on the driver? I forget who the heck kustom used to supply those.
It would not be the worse thing to replace both drivers, as the voice coil in the other driver(if you have two) can`t be long for this world also!
Does the driver thread on?

The driver is a 1" threaded throat. When I wired the 2 columns for lows and highs, the mids are in 4x12 columns, I removed one of the capacitors but not the other. I must have had a brain fart. I had a defective amp that pushed DC to the horns. The one with the cap is OK the direct wired one is shot. I just don't know which route to take. Any recommendations on a driver?

I see where parts express stocks 2 different 1" drivers, one at 11 bucks, and the other one at 30 dollars.

I went on the Parts Express web site and I saw more then the 2 you mentioned. I bought 2 Selenium DH200E-E drivers and I won't get to hear them until I get back from South Africa. We'll see how they work after that. Thanks for your help.
