Replacing speakers in a 4x10

Right Basschatters, here's my problem.
I've blown a speaker in my 4ohm Warwick WCA 411 cab. I checked out the Warwick site
and a replacement will cost in excess of £100. I believe the speakers are custom Eminence speakers
although I could be wrong....any ideas?
Looking round a few sites I see I can buy a full set of speakers for under £200 and leave the remaining 3
from the Warwick for future projects or for selling on.
So, my question to you is what would you put in the cab, a complete new set or just replace the blown speaker?
I want to keep the cab at 4ohms.
I hope someone can give some good info.
Cheers, Steve.

That was my first thought Goblin, any ideas of which speaker would match up well with the remaining three?

Well from having a look at my WCA cab (only a 211 but similar concept) the "custom" drivers look pretty close to an Eminence Delta. the WCA 411 is a 600watt cab although it peaks at 800watt, and judging from what you've said you've got the 4ohm model, so really if you can get your hands on an Eminence Delta at around 200 watts and 16Ohm, you're winning.

that's always an option.

Thanks Goblin, that looks like a leading contender at the moment unless someone knows otherwise.

Failing that the Eminence 'Legend' 10" would be a good replacement.

I've used lean before and they are pretty helpful.
