GK goldline speaker replacement

My buddy has a GK goldline 8*10 with the aluminum speakers. One blew out and needs to be replaced. Has anyone replaced an aluminum speaker with a paper cone? I'm wondering if it sounds weird with one oddball. I've read that these speakers are generally of low quality and tend to blow out easily, that's why we are leaning towards replacing it with another speaker. If anyone has any speaker suggestions or knowledge on the subject please reply!!!
 
Man I can say from experience that the goldline speakers are absolute garbage. They fart out way too easy, and they are disposable as bic lighters. Went through 3 before I finally decided to sell the cab altogether and be rid of it. If you replace the speaker with a paper one it may sound different to a slight degree, but with the other 7 still hitting, the difference would probably not be that noticeable. Now, as far as phasing goes, that's a different story.
 
does anyone know a replacement brand/number for a speaker that is close?
how much does it matter if i can find one close that isn't gold alluminum?

I had a goldline 410 as my first cab and liked the sound quite a bit. Then again, 95 pounds for a 410... And the 810 is 160 pounds!!!! I got rid of my goldline and have replaced it with a couple of neo 112s. I'd say replace your blown speaker with a replacement factory speaker from GK, then sell that beast and get a couple of neo 212s.

do you know if the 410 vented and 810 sealed, used these same gold speakers (082-0048-A YDD250-h81e) ?
still looking for approx freq resp & qts specs, etc too!

Just call them. Info from the horses mouth is worth its weight in gold, or in this case gold colored aluminum.
