here....
Ahhh, thanks.
Is that steel piece between the horn and driver from Crites?
What driver are you using?
-
I use 2 door hinges for mine. Big washers with nut/bolt through horns, and screwed to top of bass cabinet. I have support with vibration damping in the back for the driver. The horn can tilt up and down with this setup.
Interesting. do you have a photo?
-
If you can't find any, I will take those pesky horns off your hands.
Currently gaff taped to a plywood stand... girlfriend is looking for something a little 'prettier'. I'll be keeping them.

Hello,
I am looking for the Klipsch mounting bracket. The adjustable frame that holds the horn and the driver.
Thanks!

replacement diaphragm of HF200 is 55USD each for dealers (149$ in US) . I don't have it in stock but I can order it in the up coming order next week. you only pay the actual price + shipping from Iran to US which maybe something around 20-30USD. I'll be able to ship it second week of Sep. hope it helps
Thanks for the offer. The repair is holding up so far...

*UPDATE
I was about to purchase a replacement. But decided to take the driver apart first. Took it all apart, cleaned it up and re-centred the diaphragm. The noise has vanished. ...for now. I will monitor and let you know if anything happens.
Once I realized warranty was not an option and replacement parts were going to be expensive at best, I figured no harm in taking it upon myself to check out...

How did you go about isolating it to the driver? And when does it make the noise?
I swapped out all components from the amp back and then switched XOs. The noise is intermittent and random it seems...
-
The diaphragm is available from Faital. Pretty expensive. Doubtful they would cover a diaphragm under warranty, but they would have to have the driver back to determine if they would cover it. Warranty is 2 years for manufacturing defects.

Thanks Bob, I figured that just wasn't an option after over a year.

Hello,
Been a while for me here. I have a Faital HF200 16ohm that is making some cracking, fuzzing, buzzing ...sounds. I've isolated everything to the driver. Any recommendations for troubleshooting? The drivers are less than a year old I doubt I blew/broke it.
New diaphragm? Upgrade Diaphragm options, sources, supply?
Bob Crites does not offer replacement parts or service for this.
Thanks for any replies.

Hello,
I have a friend's friend looking to move these monsters. Not sure if I want to take them... Anyone have a good project for 18" bass cones.
Decent sensitivity: could make a fun Cornscala upgrade. I'm seeing recommendations online for LARGE enclosures though... 10 Cubic Feet...
-
Thanks, I did my best to reiterate that I am simply changing around items that people much smarter than I designed. I also tried to establish that Klipsch is fantastic for allowing information to flow freely on these forums, and in return, we try not to dabble in their IP, too much.

I did a short post for the Klipsch blog. Take a look...

I see this made the Klipsch Facebook page. Congrats on that and the k402 upgrade. So what are your thoughts on the upgrade?
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
My personal preference is towards 2 way designs. The 402 is great. The 510 is a very reasonable compromise if needed. ...I'm currently looking for a bigger apartment. That's my next upgrade. The system will stay the same until then.

Give Dave a call. He re-builds Surgex conditioners into great hifi power conditioners. Excellent value.

Is there a reason you're considering bi-amping the coaxial BMS driver? You know there is a passive xover option for it, right? I remember the acoustic summing was so good I couldn't tell where each driver stopped/ended in the measurements, but then I'm not sure if I was looking at phase back then or not.
Is the passive XO an option from BMS?
-
I used double 1/2" BB ply and braces. They feel rock solid compared to the stock LaS.
I highly recommend the braces.
I hate working with MDF too. That stuff is poison.

The K-402 horn and driver combo available at American Cinema Equipment comes with the K-69. Is this the HF driver used on the New Center?
I'm using a K-402 with a K-69-A presently. I might switch to another compression driver if budget allows: I'm looking at using a TAD TD-4002 or, even more interesting, a bi-amped dual-diaphragm BMS 4592ND (i.e., the full-range version). Those last two types are premium compression drivers that have extremely clean HF performance. Whatever happens, I can recommend the K-69-A (or similar P.Audio BM-D75 Series II driver at about $170US) as solid performers. The B&C DE750 is also a nice driver (about $300US) - which I believe is also available on a K-402 assembly w/stand as an option--it's also been called a "K-69".
Note however that I'm not disappointed in the K-69-A at all. In fact, I'm amazed at how well everything sounds relative to when I used the K-69-As in my Jubs.
Chris
wow, that BMS dual diaphragm looks very interesting.

^ what he said ^
A sideways move is always a sideways move.

anyone think there may be an issue with the hook up, wiring, or drivers. Cornwalls should not be leaving anyone wanting more bass...?!
-
My neighbours appreciate your suggestions.
-
Simply add a custom build Lenco turntable... WOW.
Bass, dynamics, rhythm.

I thought the 148Hz peak was from the parallel walls (doghouse and outside walls).
I would then assume the Peavey FH1 doesn't have this prak.
Bruce
The Belle has the peak as well.

Lars,
Thanks. A couple of those pics are very cool.
