kg4guy Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 For those on limited budget on play money here is a tweeter horn combo you can do for about $70. to replace the K-77. However those of you that are not on a budget I would get Bob Crites tweeters they are excellent! [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwc Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Did the driver just screw on there or is it glued on there in some fashion. Did you buy the eminence adapter for the eminence driver? thanks jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Parts Express Piezo 2" x 5" $1.45 each # 270-041 with APT-3 adapter # 290-539 $4.29. You have to take the top off of the tweeter and epoxy the adapter on and then the APT-50 will screw on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Another option is to use a Selenium adapter #264-322 and cut it down that way you can use any 1 " driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've got a box of blown piezos if anyone wants the horns to try this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Because you shared this info, and I wanted to try a Tractrix tweeter. I picked up a pair of K-94-k tweeters off of ebay to experiment with. K-94-k to the left and an Eminence APT 80 on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The reason for the swap is the APT driver has the range and spl for use with klipsch speakers. This driver is however limited to a few horn lenses, none of which are tractrix that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest David H Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Because Parts Express is out of stock on adapters I had to improvise and cut the adapter from the APT 80 horn lens. Watch out for those digits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Next I trimmed the ears fron the adapters removed any slag and glued them to the K-94-k horn lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
