Think about it - a thin 1-2mm piece of cheezy foam being flexed for 2+
decades;
hell name a few other "active" items that last that long! As to one vs. both,
one of the main factors in earlier foam designs/failures is U/V exposure.
oes
one speaker get hit by sunlight more than the other? My guess is yes.
As to DYI foam kits, they -can- work out ok, but there is a definate
isk/fail
factor; but may be worth trying compared to finding a driver with similar
specs.
As to the Maggies - go for it!
