doni01 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi Guys,New member here and was wondering if any of you can help me. I purchased a used set of R28f towers and when they came in, one of them was missing the Jumper Plates. Needles to say my twitter wasn't working. Meantime I ran a speaker wire just to get it working. I called Klipsch but they can only sell me the whole back plate with the crossover and binding posts for over $80 and I only need the jumpers. Does any of you guys have a spare set that is willing to sell me ?? Thank you so much in advance and I really appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebuy Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hey--Welcome to the forum. If you have the wire--just make jumper wires for BOTH speakers. Some people say it sounds better than the plates anyway. But if you make jumpers for both speakers--you won't have to hunt for jumper plates. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Jeez ... sorry, but just threw some of these away But ... as @rebuy said, just use some speaker cable and you'll be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doni01 Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thank you guys, I have done the speaker wire for now but being a little ocd, I would like to find the original jumpers At Emile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Get some 16 gage brass and make the jumper plates if that's what you want. Hobby stores would have what you need, then a drill and file (or Dremel) and 20 minutes or less would do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find somebody with a set because a lot of people throw those away immediately for an upgrade of inexpensive wire jumpers. What is the length you have? I have a few sets somewhere but they are not all the same size. If I have the right ones I'll just drop them in the mail for you. I would suggest you make a nice set of wires. Google "speaker jumper wires" for some other pictures and suggestions. It's an easy DIY project and they look great. Or you could pull all the jumpers and bi-amp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a set of those from my speaker wires but I kinda like the clean look. Plus I would like to match the other side WVU80 thank you for your generosity I ordered this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002KQZUW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from amazon but they were too long. I will get the length when I get home and let you know but they are not too long. Btw below is the way I have it now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I found my straps, we can do this the other way around in terms of measurements. They are gold in color and I think they are from my CF-4's. The long part of the strap is 1.25". I think if we match up that way we should be good to go. The center-to-center on the posts should also be inch and a quarter, maybe 1 1/16". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The long part on mine is 3/4 of an inch but from center to center I am at 1.1/4 ...Does that make sense?? I am including few pics of what I mean...

Hahaha I will be buying it as well and if I win, I promise to get everyone a set Thank you for the links bud. I was looking at those Maze ones earlier...They look nice but I refuse to give up on my search lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEH Synergy Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 You got me all wrong man. I spend money on what makes sense to me. I draw a hard line for getting that last 25% for an excess dollar amount. I have been trying everything I can afford in the heritage line. LA scalas or k horns are out as I do not have room for them. The rf7 III arrived today, but they have issues on quality.... They have to go back. Worst fit and finish I have seen from klipsch (and I have HAD MANY). I won't badmouth them at all and they will make things right in the end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
