IWG Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I have a pair of KG 5.2's, one with a blown KD-121 passive 12" woofer. Can't find a replacement anywhere; $80 to get the woofer repaired; I was thinking of selling the pair anyway. Any ideas on where I can find replacements, or whether there are drop-in substitutes? Is there any market for the spare parts if I just tear out the good parts from the speakers? I'm really torn on what to do- any thought are appreciated.

Montigue231 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 IWG the passive radiator cant be blown only torn..theres no voice coil no magnet or any wiring going to the crossover. If you cant find a replacement you can repair it yourself , finding some simular materials and glue..Ive done it many times How bad is it torn ?

IWG Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share Posted April 6, 2010 Sorry, you're right- it's torn, not blown. It's torn about 1/3 of the way around the outer circumference of the speaker. Are you suggesting just repair it with superglue or something? Worth a try if I decide not to sell these and if it doesn't degrade sound quality.

Montigue231 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 1/3 the cicumference is substantial. I dont know tht that can be repaired. The fixes ive always done where inches no more than a 4 inch rip. You can give it a try but im not sure it can be done with that much damage.
