So I blew the speakers.  Really, looking for opinions on what to put in a JC-77.

I'm looking at these, but don't think they're out yet

Ragin Cajuns?

Thanks in advance,

Hmmm... as far as I know, the original silver cone speakers are an important factor. Have you contacted Roland? Maybe they have spares, recones or recommendations for replacement.
Tuning instruments makes the band sound thin!

Which part of the speakers "blew"?  I'm not sure if those are paper cones but if it was the cones, they can be replaced, I've done two pairs (Mission 700s and my Tannoy nearfields).  It takes patience but works out well.  There may even be replacement voice coils out there.

Pretty sure it's the cone that ripped.  You think Duct tape will work? I've heard old timers say.... SON "just put tape on the rip"

So that I'm sure we have our terms right, there's a basket (the steel frame), a voice coil (the thing in the middle), the voice coil cover (the cloth or mesh or silver thing in the very centre of the speaker), the paper cone and the foam surround.

I actually replaced the foam surrounds, so I think I mislead you.

Sites such as this:

have all sorts of parts, maybe even replacement cones.

I wouldn't use duct tape but if it's just a tear in the paper, we used to use nail polish.  I've no idea why, it was just something that had been passed down for generations.
