I believe you about techno! School computerlabs->techno->ripped cones.
I also love DIY hardware hacks, but there's orders of magnitude between subwoofers and G3 Harmon-Kardon speaker pods.
Schmo has been looking at replacements. There is a cheap "Hamburger" mono iPod extension speaker that turns up in discount catalogues at very low prices (~$5 on ebay) - the speaker unit is very similar size and construction to the G3 H-K, IIRC. That's what I would look at first because it is a reasonable full-range unit. The H-K gets a performance boost from being in that spherical sealed pod, and the hamburger should also sound pretty good in that mini-enclosure with the inertial mass of the G3 chassis.
