Floydian Trooper Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 They are chugging along fine, but I foresee a need to upgrade them sooner than later, out of personal desire if nothing else. I personally love the spun-copper Cerametallic woofers in many of the new speakers. Would that be a easy task to accomplish, or even worth going that route? Thoughts?

CECAA850 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Crites CW1228 is the driver I'd choose. I don't know of any spun copper driver that would work in that box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 IMHO, if they are fine now, in good shape, sound good......, leave them alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivervalleymgb Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I am running an Eminence Delta 12a LF in my KP-201 (pro heresy II) with very good results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydian Trooper Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Appreciate the feedback thus far. I agree, leaving them alone is a safe bet for now I would think. However, I am often known for being an overly prepared indivudal, so keep hitting me with suggestions! This forum is the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) one suggestion is the klipsch k28 - 4 ohms woofer from the H3 - it is a phenomenal woofer versus the k24 and definitely better at delivering bass - Edited January 15, 2015 by Randyh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyto Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) one suggestion is the klipsch k28 - 4 ohms woofer from the H3 - it is a phenomenal woofer versus the k24 and definitely better at delivering bass - I 2nd this. I put K28's in my HIIs. Keep in mind that there is an impedance difference, K24 is 8 ohms, K28 is 4ohms. So the crossovers should be altered to account for it as the crossover point will change, if not they could sound "boomy". I have seen people post that did this without making a crossover change and were satisfied with the sound. I am an obsessive tweaker and used the excuse to make new external crossovers. Stuffed em with polyfil also. Klipsch sells a kit to upgrade the HII to an HIII too. Edited January 15, 2015 by cyto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch sells a kit to upgrade the HII to an HIII too. the H3 Kit From klipsch is a 300$ per speaker charge - with the crossover - the woofer - the mid driver comes with no horn as you re-use the K701 and finally a tweeter - the mids and highs use titanium diaphragms -it is a perfect fit for H2 that have a square rear crossover - round one just require a bit of cutting in the MDF - Edited January 18, 2015 by Randyh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelt Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Another option is to use a k23 from the original Fortes. It is a 4 ohm like a k28. The k23 might be found cheaper than a new k28 or the crites woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
