The History Kid Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Updated, see below... Alright folks... I have tried Klipsch and a few other places and have come up empty handed. I am in the need of a pair of Chorus II woofers. Klipsch doesn't stock them anymore, and I can't seem to find a replacement. Anyone got any tips on where I can track down replacements? Surely there has to be something out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Think those are the K-48-K if the same as the Chorus 1...e-bay but, maybe not. A couple or more members here came up with a replacement that may be suitable, read maybe. Good fortune and hunting Kid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricktate Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Simply speakers has rebuild kits if you got the old ones. Other than that look on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-K-48-EP-15-Inch-Woofer-Speaker-Part-Great-Condition-3-5-Ohm/143011895874?hash=item214c2c5a42:g:5sEAAOSw-wJaPkTL:rk:1:pf:1&frcectupt=true Call Bob Crites he may have idea or have one.

ricktate Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Regulars 6 41 posts Location: Muncie, IN Report post Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) I went through this same situation last year. Eminence recommend the kappa pro 15lfc as the best replacement. I ended up finding a pair of k48s before i had a chance to try the kappa pros Edited March 3, 2016 by nd-irish147 Found this on the forum.

The History Kid Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 The guy doesn't have the old woofers anymore, so the kits won't work.Bob didn't have a bead on any either. Talking to Jim about a pair of them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricktate Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Oh and in case you didn't know if you sign up at Amazon Smile and pic a charity such as the Klipsch Museum they will donate money for every purchase you make. But you have to use the Amazon Smile site when you order which is same as regular one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 An update reveals that it is the passive radiators. Anyone got any clues for that? I called Klipsch today, and got the same answer as with the actives. They said they were going to email me, but never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 klipsch will sell the passive for the forte 3 & its been said they will "work" ok. they look different & are a different cone material, but if you cant find originals & dont have cores to recone that may be the only option...
