Thanks. The oem xovers were working with out any issues. Just like to build xovers from scratch when I can.

 

Thanks for the reply. Would you be interested in selling one or both of your stock x overs?

Thanks at least I know where to find backups in case a repair attempt doesnt work.

I would prefer to replace them and might have to if I can't locate the specific issue but I can't find any replacements besides the expensive Crites which will have to wait unfortunately. KLF20 xovers are available but no 30's. 

If anybody knows where I could find the replacement coil please let me know?

Thanks guys for the quick replies, I will have to pull the speaker out away from the wall and attempt a closer inspection. I'm not too confident I will be able to see the issue but it's worth a try.

I'm the only owner and they have been taken care of and rarely moved, powered for a short time with a big amp by monster Cable but never abused. I dont think it would be a trace on the pcb but I could have missed a solder issue when I inspected it I suppose.

I do like the suggestion about the possible break in the coil, I assume you are referring to the black part I circled in the pic cause it seems like when I pushed down on it thats when it started working again.

Great job man I envy you! I gotta ask did you build new crossovers cause you had an issue with the stock ones or just wanted to upgrade?

Also what did you do with the old ones? The reason I ask is because Im having an issue with the mid-range driver in one of my KLF30's and I cant seem to figure out

what the problem is. I already bought & replaced the driver to no avail. Ive never rebuilt crossovers & dont have the $300 for a new set from crites.

 

The mid range horn first started working intermittantly then I noticed when I tapped on the lower cabinet it would come back on, eventually it seemed to get worse & Ive been putting

it off for far too long so tonight I decided to pop the crossover out and the wires and all the solder connections look good. As I was inspecting the xover lightly pressing on the components while listening to Pantera the midrange came back to life, still not sure which component is failing though unfortunately. I originally thought (or hoped) it was a bad capacitor as that would be a cheap & easy fix but now I dont. It seems like the round black component (noob speak) in the picture was the culprit, when I pressed and/or tapped on it lightly my KLF30 came alive! but I cant be sure, It could have been slight flexing of the pcb or a nearby component that was enjoying the crossover massage. Speaker repair is not my forte <(see what I did there) although I do have a nice hakko and decent soldering skills.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated?

 

Not my crossover below, just for "reference" < dang did it again

Sthomas were you able to do this as you had hoped. I need to order a rebuild kit and would prefer to keep them mounted on the rear.

I have all the tools just wondering if the sonic caps etc. from Bob crites will fit on the factory terminal cup board?
