Woofers and Tweeters Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Need one KLF 30 woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Have you called Klipsch? They use that same woofer in the Jubilee bass bin if I'm not mistaken? Otherwise Bob Crites offers a replacement but it doesn't look the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniper Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think PrestonTom has a pair for sale, might be nice to have a back up in case your hand slips again! Good Luck!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yes, I do have a pair of K-31 woofers (as used in KLF 30 and Jubilee). They are lightly used, but would need to be sold as a pair. The OP is welcome to contact me. I just edited the above to correct a mistake .... I do make them sometimes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Here's the thread: Are the Jubilee woofers the same graphite cones as used in the KLF-30's? Are they still available from Klipsch new? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 This has been brought up quite few times by KLF-30 owners....myself included.As far as I know, Klipsch may or may not have a couple of the Eminence versions available. The last time I talked to them....they weren't sure.Bob Crites has on his site a 12" woofer that works in the Heresy, Jubilee and says it also "works well" in the KLF -30. "Works well" kinda has me wondering. "Works great" or something along those lines would make me feel more comfortable about buying one but Bob is a stand up guy and I'll take his word for it that this is a legitimate substitute for the K-31.A couple others here have mentioned other 12" woofers from other vendors that "might work" in te KLF-30 but these hav not been confirmed. I'd like to find out if they are in fact suitable replacements.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are being used for HT doing sub duty with Chorus II and Belle. I've not pushed these so I really am at a loss for the why. The one that's bad is extended and can't be pushed back in...I didn't get forceful. I heard a muffled sound this morning, so I pulled off the grills.. there is was. Anyone have any idea as to why it would remain extended? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have done this myself with a KLF-30 woofer, it is caused by being over-extending the cone where the coil tube comes out past the magnet gap. I was able to get mine to go back in the gap and move freely again but it had a horrible scratching sound afterwards. This is ultimately why I prefer the Chorus over the KLF-30, parts are weak and they don't play as loud. I would definitely recommend checking your crossover settings and cutting out the lower frequencies to these speakers to prevent further damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you had your coffee yet this morning?? It don't take much at the lowest frequencies to get those cones to move a significant amount, I'd cross them over at 40-50hz at least and let the sub do the rest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While for most music material they will output gobs of bass, but LF channels on many movies have lots of low end below the 30-40 Hz port tuning on the KLF30s. Bellow the port resonance a ported woofer is uncontrolled and can easily exceed maximum excursion. Where you hooking them up to the LF output of your HT receiver via a power amp?

Woofers and Tweeters Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 These were not turned up to loud levels. I'm not sending sub level watts to them, I only removed the jumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I see what you did, now. You removed the jumpers and sent only LF signals to the woofs, with no connection to the HF section. This would presumably give you a mid-bass reinforcement, not true sub-woofer frequencies. The XO would have filtered out the sub-sonic information. James, did you have full range speakers hooked up, then added the LF section as well via the method you described? I'm trying to reverse engineer in my head what the signal might have been doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked well.Sent from my SM-G920R4 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 This is what it looks like. I did nothing except take the picture. The other three are fine, but I am going to make sure that the others' wafered materian han't came unglued too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
