avguytx Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 For that kind of money, I guess one could find woofers that would work as close as possible and call it good. Or sell them off for parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 The guy should write satire. Love the comment on condition. It probably is worth it for drivers alone if you were close enough to go check them out in person. 12 minutes ago, Dave A said: bit damaging to the two top drivers but other than a couple scratches to the cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofers and Tweeters Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Not Reference, Legends and if someone had beater cabinets with good components, they could swap out a few things and sell the rest for what they have in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolve2525 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I got em! They're actually in a little better condition than expected. I'm gonna need a source for new woofer surrounds and a new plastic dust cap. Should be a fun project! Thanks for the heads up! 🙂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might start a WTB thread in the Garage Sale section to see who has what you need. I almost needed a woofer for mine a few years ago and there was at least one person who had one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolve2525 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Great idea, thanks! All the woofers were removed so who knows what's working. I've got extra diaphragms fortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 You can get woofers that are a close match of the K-31s from Bob Crites. Get his opinion on whether all four should be replaced. Since you have actual cabinets, you can also get replacements form Klipsch. Personally, I would not bother with the suggested improvements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand that reasoning, Bob's Heresy II looking replacement woofers that fit a KLF would be the last option I would entertain.

Replacements are available. Why not get the real thing instead of an off brand of unknown properties? The K-31 is unique and yes it's part of the Jubilee bass horns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absolve2525 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I just ordered a new 4.5" poly dust cap, along with new rubber surrounds from online vendors. It's nice to see that rubber surrounds are more widely available now, instead of just the foam type. I still may end up needing a new woofer, we shall see. Thanks for all the input! 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 OK all of you fail the pun test. Akron IS where the rubber met the road. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=vulcanization+of+rubber+akron+ohio+2017&t=ffnt&atb=v35-2b_&ia=web 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new replacement k-31 from Klipsch that I have seen use a standard paper cone and accordion surround like the Heresy woofers, not the same as the original graphite cones with rubber rolled surround. Crites woofers look the same as the factory replacements except with black paper cones IIRC, I would imagine going either route would work just fine but I personally would replace all 4 at once so they match. Once you figure the cost of replacing all 4 woofers that puts the Ciare woofer upgrade just a few bucks more for what appears to be a superior woofer, which is probably the route I would take if I were to buy 4 new woofers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
