quanghuy147 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hi, I am going to upgrade Crites Titanium Tweeters for my Klipsch Chorus 2. I tried to open the tweeters to see before I order the Titanium tweeters . I began with remove 4 screws on the front. Then... I don't know what to do next. Here is the picture of how 'far' I can go and please show me what to do next. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWM5 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 It's pretty simple. The bottom portion of the Plywood cut out has a round indentation. Angle the speaker and wedge it through. A few tries and you'll get it. It's not rocket science. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bossman Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 wiggle it out, disconnect the wires and remove the 3 screws that hold the horn to the driver... replace the diaphragm then reassemble it as you found it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Crites web site shows how to do the diaphram ..... getting it out is tricky but it does come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobK Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Just follow the instructions off crites site. I've done about 3 pairs of them. - Be careful with the tweeter, I barely touched one of them by accident and put a nice dent in it. It did pop out. - Clean out the groove with a post it note, the metal shavings from the old tweeter will stick to it. Its just to make sure the groove is cleaned. This groove is round and can only be seen when you take those 3 nuts off. Get the Right/Left polarity correct when you put it back in. Take a before photo so you can double check it. Its not hard just the first time you do it you don't know what to expect. You can do it, just go at your own pace, no hurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanghuy147 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have just received it today, I will install it tonight I have quick question, please look at the picture, should I remove the light yellow paper before installation? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEC Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Probably does not make any difference either way, but I always leave it on. Do not touch the shiny dome. Very easy to damage it. Many have damaged the dome trying to take the yellow paper off. Bob Crites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolve2525 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Isn't the paper acting as a gasket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quanghuy147 Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Thank you everyone for your concern. I have installed them. The first impression is that the sound especially guitar is more sparkling. The vocal seems to be a little more detailed. I heard that it takes 50 hours for the tweeters to break in. I guess I need more time to tell how much the improvements is. However, so far, I am very happy with the result. Thank you everyone again for helping me upgrade the tweeters. Cheers, Huy.

Blvdre Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Isn't the paper acting as a gasket? No, that's the rear of the diaphragm. Edited July 22, 2016 by Blvdre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Isn't the paper acting as a gasket? No, that's the rear of the diaphragm. It is around the diaphragm. How can it be the back of the diaphragm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 " How can it be the back of the diaphragm?" It's the spacer for the front of the diaphragm, leave it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
