David Regan Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I recently picked up a pair of used KG-4's, and while they sound pretty good, I can tell that the diapragm in one of the horns is going out. (crackling at some frequencies,lower volume on horn) I've ordered a replacement diaphragm from Klipsch, but I'm not sure if I need to take it to a shop or if this is something I can do myself. Anyone have some insight on this? Thanks, -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sliqmick Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 The K-74 diaphragm basically pops in in place of the old unit-pretty straight forward. Be certain to use extreme caution removing the new one from its packaging however!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Regan Posted March 20, 2002 Author Share Posted March 20, 2002 I haven't yet had these things apart (since I'm still waiting on the new diaphragm). Is it literally as simple as unbolting the lens, desoldering the diaphragm, and popping the new one in? Are there any special alignment or cleaning procedures that I need to be concerned with? Thanks for your help, -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
