Well, you will need some simple soldering experience (or have a nice and willing friend who has experience).
If you're 100% certain that it is the speakers which are damaged, you can get replacement speakers at a few places (DealExtreme comes to mind).
The actual "swapping out" is a simple case of taking apart the top-screen section of the case, desoldering the old speakers, soldering the new ones on, and putting the case back together.

desoldering is a nightmare. one wrong move and the board might get damaged >.< at least, thats the problem for me.

well.. the problem is that the speakers make a strange noise and sometimes just dont sound at all and suddenly they start to sount with all the volume thats kind of annoying..

PD sorry about my bad english

Sounds like a damaged wire in the speakers. I had that problem with my DS (the old one). Just be sure to use a small, low heat soldering gun!
