EpicKlipschFan 414 Posted January 12 you can repair it if its not too bad... but they make recone kits if it cant be repaired, simply speakers sells the recone kits & will even install them for you for a decent price. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/klipsch-speaker-recone-kit-k48-k-rk-klpk-48-k.html 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Audio28 6 Posted January 12 Wow. Thanks for the responses everyone. This site must have quite a following! I've included an image. The cone is now making cracking noises at `moderate' levels. I'm thinking the recone kit is the way. EpicKlipshFan: thanks for the link. billybob - thanks for the tip. I'm actually thinking about something a bit bigger. Kp450 or larger. moray james - yeah, I suspected they were the same. This journey started with me as a 15yr old being amazed by the Chorus 1s. There's something raw about that vented box. RandyH000 - thanks for the K48 specification and possible source. I'm toying with building something myself with two or three of these woofers per channel - maybe that's the source for my beast. Thanks everyone! Audio28. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Audio28. ouch! thats a big hole. yeah i think the recone kit is the best option, replaces the voice coil too. or keep your eye out for a used one but they dont show up too often. shipping will be about $30 each way so if you are crafty it might be worth a try to do yourself & save $$. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please ask for 4 ohm version. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Audio28 6 Posted January 22 Thanks so much for the feedback everyone. I'm going to tape the cone for now and order the recone kit - after taking the woofer out to double check the resistance. Thanks for the tips! m. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
