Default reasonable? not a chance. are they just rattling? Thought about sealing them back up?
I used aquarium silicone sealer to repair my old speakers. Worked perfectly.

Default Probably pretty steep. Bout $300/each. Don't really know anywhere else to get them but dealer.
or a junkyard and pull them out of a totalled A4/S4 with Bose.

Try re-sealing them with silicone. Much cheaper and sounds great.

Default Check with Carson @ Riverside
I just got a quote for one of the liuttle front speakers that was MUCH better than I had expected. OEM replacement = drop-in = time-saver. Worth it for me, YMMV.
