Default Wanted MB Quartz speaker

I was trying to install the subwoofer that I got from ebay and found that my rear driver side midrange speaker is not working. The PO has switched all the speakers to MB Quartz brand.
Looking to see if anybody has a spare DWE 160 speaker. This is on an 89 S4.
Thanks

I have some MB QUart separates that I removed when from other positions when I went to Hans' speakers. I will check part numbers but can't do so until Monday.

FYI on MB Quart, they went through some ownership changes with related model and quality issues, but sure what you get is what you want.

Is it repairable? Physically, I didn't see anything obvious.

What testing of the speaker and the wiring to it have you done? I'd expect the cross-over / wiring to be more unreliable, but you've probably already checked those.

Most speakers can be re-coned for a reasonable price. There are places in NY and places you can ship to.

The wiring to the crossover seems fine. When I do a resistance test between the terminals I get an open circuit. I should get 4 ohms.
