So i manage to disassemble the speaker and found out that this is the T500 not the T5000

Tweeter k76k

Squawker K53K

Woofer k24k

And ku120 at the passive

 

Yes all of it is original not replacement

 

You may have to look at the xover for cap values as I don't recall seeing a schematic here on the board for the t500s. Maybe another member here just might and could post it up for us, or if you were to order Crites Ti tweeter diaphragms they could give it to you.

Yeap i guess it is what it is, do you modify it? I mean there are forum discussing about changing to k28k? But Bob Crites said we need to change several of the caps

Not a modder as such but just last week, there was a member asking about some as a project.

If you did a tangent search word, you will see him, and in the past others.

BTW, measure the baffle board for me. The rest are 1/2, but curious about the motor board.

Please...

Bob Crites and son have had many questions over time.

If they have an opinion or make a statement, just about would hang a Klipsch hat on it...

Yeap

I have a pair of T-5000s and a pair of Heresy 2s.

 

At one time I thought of getting the H3 upgrade kit for the Heresy 2s.

 

But now I think it might be something to try in the T-5000s. Or in your case the T-500s.

 

You would get all of the H3 sonic improvement AND the inherent substantial bass of the T-5000...

The baffle is the board that the speakers are mounted on.

You speak good enough english...

Look at the values of the 5000 schematics and compare any difference, just for the doing.

Yeap trying to understand it

Can we just change the woofer to eminence delta pro 12a, i saw a guy build super heresy with that woofer in this forum, i saw my woofer K24 T500 is 8ohms, but yours T5000 will be K28 4ohms right?

I was under the impression that if you change the impedance of a driver in a crossover designed for a specific impedance the crossover point will change as well.

Hi im returning to ask another few question after a long listen to this Tangent T500 vs T4000, so both are recepped with jetzen caps with the same value as the original and restored cabinet new glue and new stuffings, my concern is after a long read in the forum the T500/T5000 should have bigger and lower bass compare the ported one, but i seem to feel like the other way around, the T500 do feel Deeper than the T4000 but the T4000 seems to have more "forward" bass than the T500, whats weird is that i feel like with the same equipment and room, the T4000 seems to be more open and powerfull but not the T500 which is weird considering the size and the passive driver, anybody can help?

from extensive searching of the web it seems that the eminence delta pr 12a is the subtitute for the K42 from the klipsch pro series which is not popular for the Bass thump but very durable woofer CMIIW

Going to drink a cup but, always thought a ported speaker dug lower. Maybe I am thinking of a rear ported or rear passive.

You mention new stuffing, what was used? The OEM both use sheets of foam rubber roughly 12” x 36” or so. Were these replaced with something else? Was something added in addition to the OEM foam? Not trying to imply anything just curious.

That is always why I wanted a 400 to compare.

With the ported i can feel the "Attack", with the passive i can feel the "heavy" and the "deep" and that makes the T500 feels bass heavy

I used the usual egg crates looking foam, the original only got  2 block of foam not even covering the whole area, does this explain why the bass is missing? i did with the ported as well but the ported seems to deliver nicely
