Thoughts on extending speaker life.

For those of us who own speakers that are past a few years old, and those same speakers utilize dynamic drivers, what are your thoughts on extending the life of the rubber surround ( assuming that your driver utilizes this kind of design).
In general, as the driver ages, the likelihood of the rubber surround failing increases. Without actually replacing the driver ( not possible in some instances) what do you suggest to extend the life of the driver(s), if anything?

For those with other types of driver design, what are your concerns about the extended usage of this kind of driver as it ages?

Don’t forget about the Most important part of the speakers,
the Heart ,the Crossover , Parts Quality is average at best 
on 90% of all crossovers, upgrade withsame values just much 
higher quality  parts ,including , wiring, and getrid of the cheap gold plated brass that most speakers connectors have as well as your electronics rca and Loudspeaker terminals ,that alone a very noticable sonic improvement.
