That’s good advice. I just had the EV woofers in my HIPs re-coned by a local person who mostly works on guitar amp speakers. They should at least know someone who could re-cone your woofer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old speaker repair guy was great for re-coning anything "paper-coned" but did not have a source for anything graphite, plastic or aluminum cones this was several years ago now maybe parts are out there now? I'd check eBay they do show up every so often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glue on Amazon is clear and everything I have used it on has cured and held great. Ok Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at the bottom ring, just to the left of the crack. That looks to me like the cone is trying to come off, when compared to the look of the right side. If you attempt to glue it, I would lay a bead around that bottom ring. (Why not try? It's already toast anyway...) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Bummer Did you not get these just a week ago? There is a woofer on eBay ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/KLIPSCH-KLF-20-Speaker-Driver/254172885507?hash=item3b2de27203:g:DCUAAOSwufRclEJy ... $120; no clue but seems a bit high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glens Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Looks like a blunt object impact just left of the split, ~1/3 from dust cap to surround was the cause. May be more damage than a bit of glue can right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzannucci Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'd buy that glue to fix the old one as a back up. Appears these woofers are getting more rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glens Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The worst of the damage may be hidden by the dust cap. Have you got a look at the backside yet? What hit it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzannucci Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The dust cap is fairly easy to pull off particularly if you already have an opening like a crack. I had to remove one of mine cause glue broke loose under it and was rattling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
