Dash board is coming out... proactively replace tweeters?
My passenger tweeter in dashboard is bad and the dealer is replacing under CPO (CPO saves the day again!). To do this, they have to remove the entrire center console and dashboard just to get to it and 2 days to get it all done
... this is the first example of an inaccessible parts I have heard of on this car, oh well.
My question is should I replace the other tweeter for just the incremental part cost ($300) as a preventative measure?
Do speakers just wear out and this would be like changing the water pump when you do a timing belt to take advantage of the labor already performed? Or was this blowout a fluke and just take my chances with a proven good tweeter that should remain in service?
I only have 8 months of CPO coverage left and if it blew after that I'm not sure I would rip the dashboard out to replace on my own...
What say you guys, what would you do?

I will replace both, thanks for your collective feedback... hate to replace working parts, but knowing I will have this car for 10+ years in the family I hope it will at least bring peace of mind... short money and as a small consolation, it has it's own 12 month parts and labor warranty (not that I expect to need it) and now I'll have a fully functional spare for who knows what.
