CANT Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Generally this would seem cut and dry but one was in the 1985-92 KG4 and is in the current KI-102... The previous heritage suffix changes seemed minor but these two woofers don't seem to share much in common? Could you really use the K-8-E as a replacement for the K-8-K? If not why did Klipsch choose to re-use the K-8 item tag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I doubt it would be much of a match. The KI-102 has a freq. response of 75Hz-17kHz (+/-4dB) and uses one woofer per cabinet, while the KG 4 has a freq. response of 38Hz-20kHz (+/-3dB) and uses two woofers per cabinet. T-S specs for the K-8-K woofer used in the KG 4: Nomz= 4.00 Ohms Qms= 5.900 Fs= 27.99 Hz Cms= 1268.0000uM/N Revc= 7.00 Ohms Qes= 0.405 Fi=27.01 Hz Mms= 25.5000Grams Levc= 1.00mH Qts= 0.379 BL=8.80 TM Pmx= 100.0000Watts Splo= 88.62 db no= 0.40 % Sb= 0.0220sqM = 34.1000sqIn SPLi= 88.00db ni= 0.74 % Vas= 0.0870cuM =3.0724cuFT SPLi=88.58db @ Vg= 2.00V Xmax= 4.0000mm....= 0.1575 In These should help you locate a suitable woofer to use as a replacement.

CANT Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'm not looking for a replacement... I was just curious...? Comparing the frequency responses of both entire systems isn't entirely fair either... the woofers could be similar but respond differently in different cabs/orientations...
