Also, speakers deteriorate in the outside environment.
I seen suspensions that crumble just by touching them.

Buy new, and don't look back.

as long as the sub was made in the past ten... or even 20 years... the surround or spider should not "crumble"... Sure... a 40+ year old speaker made in the 70's or before is likely to do that, but materials have changed since then.
