Got_Horns

Also curious if anyone knows how much a replacement speaker is?

You can see at the top speaker, what I'm potentially dealing with.

I'm working on getting a center speaker. It has a bent cone. Guessing something hit it. How much does this effect the sound? Anyone know any secrets on how to unbend without removing the surround? Working on a picture here soon.

Could you so kindly give me a link to the Klipsch parts k28e? For the life of me, I cannot find them. And from reading on the forum CS maybe problematic. 🙏

Thinking of a woofer chamber, then getting artsy on the mids and tweets. Something like the picture but different.

Those are nice cabinets. But that takes away all my fun 😊. I'm now thinking of making something totally unique. I'm curious on how much internal air volume the mid horn and tweet horn need?

I'm having trouble finding the k28. Could I use the k28e? Or where would one find a k28, k281?

Luckily the community shop has a lot of HiFi guys there. With all the software and testing devices. I hope? It has to be close, if I can make a exact replica of the klf? Anyways, once I get the new woofers, we shall see! What's cool is that I have a A/B receiver and the pair of klf 20s. Should be fun to do side by side comparisons.

Sorry if the thread has been confusing. In the OP I was thinking of just replacing the passive with an active woofer and drilling a port. But after realizing all that would need to be done. I might as well make a new cabinet and duplicate a klf30. Especially since the t500 cabinets are in such bad shape. I can still find out if the original idea would have worked. Once I get the woofers delivered.

If you can find one. The most musical sub I have listened to, is the tympany sub. A Canadian company, that now makes 100k and above speakers. But the sub was made in the 90s and sold for 900$? Back then. I have a 15" in a sealed box, that is only 17"x17"x17". It doesn't need much space. It came with a 600watt plate amp. That unfortunately I needed to replace. But it sings now after a Dayton replacement. Or get an svs.

I'm guessing the birch would be better having less resonance than the mdf?

Adding another chamber is easy....I'm talking about essentially turning the t500 into a klf30. And making entirely new cabinets. Having it on an active network or getting a crites klf crossover kit.

How much were the belles? It might not hurt so much if I knew who got them, or it woulda hurt more...dunno

I know...that was supposed to be me doing it. Papa needs a new tube amp. I love trading up.

I am running a 15" sub with them now. The t500 cabinets are beat to crude and no longer sealed. Instead of patching and such. I'd rather build new ones. So making them bigger is not a big deal. This way, I can deaden and overbuild them. As this is in my nature. If I'm going to do something, I'm going to over do it....I'm also the, while I'm in there guy..

Thanks. My plan was to remove the passive and put in an active woofer. And either run it active crossover with say a minidsp or get some passive crossovers. I know I have to make the cabinets bigger, I need to rebuild them anyway, so not a big deal.

That's the spirit!! Onward and upward! What model woofer should I be looking for? I'm going to be using a community shop. So I'm trying to do everything at once. I need to deaden and brace my klf20s. And remake the t500 cabinets. Would be very easy to make them klfs. Since I will have real klfs there to take measurements off of. What wood should I make them out of? Birch ply?

I know, right? I felt obligated because it was such a good deal. I even banned myself from doing the usual "Klipsch speaker" search.... That didn't last long If you could have seen me walking around my place, with a damn tape measure...was like, "well I still have a path over there...if I just move that...I could".. it was ridiculous. It's a sickness and I need help.😆 Just waiting for a new member to pop up with the. "Got a great deal on some klfs" or the "what year were they made" thread. To rub it in.

Mods please delete this thread. It's dumb and I'm over it.

Too soon. I need time...I want to be alone..😢

I feel like that towards most quality things at a good price or deal. But I'm am tempted a little more for audio deals. This deal hurt me extra. Because I have a pair of klf 20s already. I could of used them for surrounds or made a center channel.

Yes, thank you.😢

Starting a thread for any good deals that for whatever reason fell through. We can pass tissues and hugs. I'll start with today...I was 2nd in line for a pair of klf 20s for 100$....I'm 🤢 over it. I even tried bribing the seller with more money, but he honored the initial buyer. ..............

Has anyone tried this? I have t500s with a passive radiator. I was also thinking about my klf20s....when in a moment of pure genius or absolute foolishness. I thought about swapping the passive for an active sub. Making, a sort of, mini klf30. I'm planning on redoing the cabinets anyways. Maybe run a minidsp for the crossover? Just thinking out loud.....

160$. Need them gone.
