Reisman Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I need one woofer for my Chorus I speakers, as the cone is torn. It is a pro grade speaker - 400 watt power, 4 ohms, and is 15" in diameter. I do not want a partial substitute - looking for the exact match - OEM speaker, please. I hope it is ok to post here for what I am seeking - really need this to work out well. Thanks for your help Mike Reisman - Cell (480) 694-4808 - reism@cox.net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 maybe ebay?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/klipsch-k48-/292441405746 Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reisman Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Thanks for the reply, Emile, but this is a K-48-KP - not an exact match. I had checked it out before. Might work, but I am trying and hoping to find the actual thing - exact match if I can, as there are variances between manufacturers. The one I want comes up from time to time (K-48), and I repaired mine with glue and it sounds great for now. That bought me time and so I can be selective to find the real OEM one. By the way, since you are a forum veteran. I thought I had things set up to GET NOTIFIED by email, whenever there is a response to one of my posts, but it isn't happening. I can't seem to find the setting in my preferences to make this happen. Can you help me, as I am new to this particular forum? Please excuse the bother. Thanks for your help.

Reisman Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I have done that. They could be more helpful than they are. They just want you to buy what they have listed on a computer screen, which may work, but it is not the exact thing. Probably safer if I find the real replacement from a used one.

001 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If you havent located what you need yet, try calling simply speakers for a quote to recone your woofer. They have the correct replacement cones at a very good price, that way you keep your correct speaker & will be much cheaper than buying a replacement.

nd-irish147 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I tried smiply speakers a few years ago and they only sell an 8 ohm recone kit. the k48 is a 4 ohm speaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 worth checking again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reisman Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 I prefer not to recone. I know that can be done, but in my experience, this can be good and can be bad. It is who you get, their interpretation of the sound - lot of variables. I get that it is cheaper, but my preference is to stay authentic and match the fellow speaker. Since I repaired it, it sounds just fine, so I bought myself time and don't have to rush for a solution. Now if I can find the REAL OEM WOOFER, then I can get a perfect match. Again, I am not in a rush - just want to do it right. Thanks so much for taking time to get back to me. Regards, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
