Default Re-foaming speakers question...

I blew out the foam on one of my 12" subs yesterday. Not very happy about that. It is good to know that it is time to be replacing it however, since I was cranking about 1000 Watts through the system (I have 4 amplifiers). The foam on these guys needs replacing now and then and I am leary about giving my irreplaceable speakers to just anybody in the US (Teledyne is the manufacturer). Anyone know of anyone that knows what the heck they are doing in the PNW for re-foaming speakers?

I already found one place in Seattle that wanted to cut the cone out and re-do the entire speaker - no problem I say for the $150 they are asking, but quite frankley, nothing is wrong with anything on the speaker but the outter edges of the foam, so obviously they don't know what the hell they are doing if they want to chop into the the cone!!!!!@!!!! They are not touching these subs, that is for sure.

So I need a good speaker repair place in case anyone has some good recomendations??

Quite frankly, I am down to 2x 12" subs and allthough the power of 4 is not there, it still sounds quite good - even though I even have one amp turned off! I'll survive until I find someone who knows what they are doing. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-S
