Help understanding speaker specs


Recommended Posts

Can someone point out the values I need to pay attention to when it comes to woofer selection? 

I have a torn k-24-k that is black (not the same as what should be in there)

and original greyish kevlar k-24-k that works fine

This is a Heresy II stock networks, updates caps.

Intent was to get something better than the k-24-k, that is 8 ohms and without porting them.

Not particularly interested in old used klipsch speakers, willing to go new. (only 1 k-24-k on ebay right now and it sounds like its in tough shape)

I know about crites, gentech, k-28 4 ohm woofer...Because of covid, getting ahold of these companies has proven extremely difficult. 

Bought Dayton 310-8 12" woofers and am extremely disapointed with the a/b of the good k-24-k and a dayton. Can't even hear the bass guitar at all on some recordings. Just tight kick. I am going to return them.

Anyways can someone help me understand these values in the links below and what values I should be looking for to get the k-24-k sound or better?

I know a bit about box size, and sensitivity but don't understand certain specs. Recently read a bit about inductance, and these daytons are high 1.68mH i think. 

Resonent frequency in relation to box size? Its hard to wrap my head around frequency response data like 45hz-3000hz and hear significantly less bass than the old k-24-k.

 

Im just a kid compared to most of you and I am very new to this. Any help appreciated

the K22-K24-      , and the K28 4ohms  are designed specifically  for the Heresy speaker ,  rated at 100watts  --- try to reach Klipsch Parts , they may have an option for you  ,
