A Florida subpoena has no out of state validity. How will they prove their case, if they do not appear? If you must have their testiomony, take their deposition.
If they are plaintiffs, they have already consented to jurisdiction. Depending on the hearing and how it is set, they might be required to appear. You should consult with an attorney on obtaining a court order requiring their presence at a specially set hearing where testimony can be taken. You should be aware that in addition to the Florida rules of civil procedure, there are local rules governing the setting of hearings.
