dachuckster Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Ive been looking for years for a replacement grille, and still no luck. When I installed these speakers and installed the grille, the grille bent in half causing a very noticeable crease. Klipsch no longer makes them..... Short of buying a whole new speaker, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Try e-bay?? LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Honestly, I have looked. And looked. And looked. And looked....... Ebay, Google, Amazon, over n over n over..... And whoop, there it is! Maybe it was because I did a search by "CDT 5800" instead of just "5800" Thanks, I am trying to "buy it now" but for some reason it wont accept my address in the USA. A messag ehas been sent to the seller and hopefully I will have it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 A grill for the type II will not work? Excuse my ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 A grill for the type II will not work? Excuse my ignorance. Please explain Babadono, what is "type II"? I have the CDT-5800C and from what I could tell in the ebay link, and my conversation with the seller, what he has will work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Sorry for the late reply dachuckster I just saw this. What I meant is Klipsch still makes CDT5800c II. I just installed four in my ceiling about a year ago. Don't know for sure but I would think Klipsch would offer replacement parts for a current product. Am I wrong? http://www.klipsch.com/CDT-5800-C-II Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I didnt know the made version 2, the photo of the back of the speaker shows CDT5800C, not CDT5800CII. Anyway, it says the grille is magnetic, so not sure it would fit. The last time I called Klipsch, 4, 5, 6 years ago and at that time they didnt make grilles for my model, plain ol 5800.

babadono Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 So did you succeed through Ebay? If not I would try Klipsch again, surely someone there can answer if the newer one will work. Of course if it does and it looks slightly different you'll have to replace all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) The measurement seemed to be right on, so I ordered it last week via the ebay link. Hope to have it late this week! I will folks posted. Edited March 3, 2014 by dachuckster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachuckster Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Received it a few days ago (from Canada) in brand new pristine condition! I will be installing it tonight. I am sure it will fit. If not, I will repost. Otherwise I am a happy man.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
