This is the standard audio system, i.e. not the Bose. It seems like a lot of effort to repair these speakers but it just saves another item going to landfill.
Brave speaker surgery here. Note, the cone also has to be centered like the magnet. To do this, remove the dust cover and insert 3-4 cardboard strips into the magnet gap so the cone sits snugly. Then glue down the spider (orange surround) and then the rubber surround, and the dust cover.
I was able to line up the spider on the chassis in the original position and luckily this was sufficiently accurate to allow the coil to move freely in the magnet gap. If the magnet wasn't so strong it might have been possible to realign it without removing the cone.
Im now thinking that by taking the speaker cover off the door i may be able to remove the old cone and cut the insides out of the round box leaving just the terminals and fit a new aftermarket speaker without going through with removing the whole door card.. 🤔
Sorry, I have no idea. I don't have access to the speaker now since it is fitted back in the car. Making some measurements from the video it looks to be about 200mm or 8" to the outside of the plastic chassis.
