I have an SF2 and discovered today that the woofer is dead. I hooked up an 8" Boston Acoustics CS280 8 ohm ceiling mount speaker I had lying around and got good sound, so the sound board and wiring are good.

I'm assuming that if I simply install the BA speaker I will miss some of the low end sounds but is it a major sound omission?

The BA speaker has a 3/4" tweeter. From what I can tell, the 8 ohm speaker powered by a 4 ohm amp isn't an issue. 10-100 watts, 50Hz - 20Khz

Turns out i can't use this speaker after all, the surround is higher than the metal mounting plate, and the tweeter is higher than the surround. Think I'll go to Parts Express for a new sub...

Great advice all. Got a $9 replacement speaker from parts-express and it fit perfectly, and even better sounds great.
