BananaMoonpie Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Good news, I have replaced the gaskets and the problem seems to be solved. Bob C. sells the diaphragms for those in pairs. I would replace them both and keep the good one as a spare. I did bought a pair of new diaphragms from him but if the old ones are working ok with the new gaskets is there any reason to replace them? if not I'll just keep them as spare. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob's phenolic mid diaphragms are much better sounding than your stock Klipsch phenolic diaphragms are. Install the new diaphragm but allow them time to burn in, play them long and loud for a few weeks since you have a good excuse to peel paint at home now. Keep the old stock ones for back up.

BananaMoonpie Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Bad news, I carefully removed the old diaphragms from the driver and the gasket that seems to be made of cork has crumbled in to several pieces. I then removed the second one just to find one made of paper. Any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moray james Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 replace the gaskets with new ones of the same thickness. you can obtain gasket material at an automotive parts supplier. so long as the new material is close to the same thickness no worries, replace both so the new ones match.
