Thanks for the response. I decided to go ahead and try to replace my speakers. Thought new speakers might sound better.

"...I pulled the door panels, pulled the speakers, unbolted the speakers from their crossover/amp thingies.
I drilled a couple of mounting holes and affixed the crossovers to the inside of each door, just a half inch below each speaker opening with nuts and bolts. I made jumper wires with crimp-on blade connectors to run from the crossovers to the speakers.
Used Pioneer 3-way speakers from BestBuy, about $60 for the pair. They were a little smaller than the hole from the old speakers, so I mounted them low in the opening and caught 3 sides, seems solid, time will tell if I need to do more. It isn't like the stock system pumps out megawatts.
Anyhow, they sound GREAT!!! I guess the old speakers had been gradually deteriorating over time, and I just hadn't noticed. These sound so nice and crisp and clear."

Since writing the above, I went for a longer drive to run some errands, and holy crap I can't believe how good the stereo sounds now! Very worth the sixty bucks and some of my time. I would say forget repairing the old ones and spend $50-60 on a pair of new speakers and put them in. I was shocked at the difference they made.
