jef0707 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I recently purchased a pair of KG4. And I love the sound. However, I’m sure I have a bad woofer (k-8-k). I am regularly checking the internet for an oem replacement. No luck yet. I did however find a copy or clone woofer. See link. https://www.midwestspeakerrepair.com/shop/home-audio/mw-audio-mw-5082-8-woofer/ claims to to be an exact copy. I listen with grills on, so the color wouldn’t bother me. Has anybody had any experience with this one? Any advice would help. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jef0707 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Looks like parts express doesn’t do recone service anymore. Anyone here know of a company who can? Or know of a suitable replacement for the k-8-k woofer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
