Woofers and Tweeters Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 While you're getting it fixed, remove it and replace it with a port. (drill a ~ 4" hole in a circle of 3/4" plywood that you can cut using the PR as a template. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them to have the 15 passive on my Forte 2s repaired and they referred me. Did you tell them specifically it was a passive? Mark Yes, it was for the passive. Hopefully it won't be a hard repair. The guy I was talking to made it sound like it was quite easy, but he never offered me the option of Speaker Exchange doing the work. If he had, I would have opted for that instead of a repair kit that cost almost double. Just my luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's being ported with a ripped PR. It's the " While you're getting it fixed, " part that I should have put in bold letters. I bought a pair that had a PR cone that was GONE. The basket was there, but that's all. Talk about a port. I made a bushing and it worked until the PR was fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottymac63 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 The Simply Speaker passive repair kit showed up today. If I have time this weekend I'll get 'er done. Meanwhile, I'll be using the ripped passive as a port. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
