These look OK - http://www.securitydirect.co.uk/acatalog/Motorcycle_training_Cone.html

Seriously though, do you really think its worth bothering with considering you need to get the perfect match for the cabinet to get the best sound?

You might be better off selling the speakers you have and using the money along with the money you were going to spend on new drivers, to buy a new set of complete speakers.

Many folk on here rate the Peavey PRO series. If you want tops only then I'd say have a look at/listen to these.

Plenty of other well regarded makes are available, ask on here, and you'll get good advice.

The Eminence beta 12 LT is a full range cone, I use them in pairs in my own cabinets.

I use that in conjunction with a Fane Collossus 18 inch 600WRMS driver.

Just finished a new cab today using an Eminence sigma pro 18 650WRMS driver.

Have a look on the Blue Aran website.
They are about the best price I could find.
They are the only speakers with dual cones.

I'm still a Fane man myself, and as such would recommend looking at the Fane Crescendo 12MB.

As you already have the subs, I reckon these would do well crossed over at about 120 - 150Hz.

When I first started discoing for myself I got a set of 4 off Fane 50watt RMS speakers and they were amazingly loud for their wattage.

I now have a 600WRMS Fane Colossus speaker in a bass box.
It gives out some serious bass.

How about 21 inch or 24 inch drivers then ?

I didnt know they existed until I had a look on the blue aran website.

Sadly they seem to get expensive above 15 inch drivers.

And at the risk of looking stooopid, what exactly does that mean?

Let's have some frequencies, roll-off slopes, -6dB points - something a little more technical, and then we can help. :)

Funktion One do sound nice tbh. Really smooth bass. :)

Depends on how much gear you have. If you have loads of speakers like where you took that picture from then yeah but for discos I don't think so.

No. That would power Tony's Monitors nicely though. ;) :D
