ummagumma-89 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 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 k-24-k specs https://ibb.co/dBy6gfQ Dayton Specs https://daytonaudio.com/images/resources/295-032--dayton-audio-pa310-8-spec-sheet.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 You're probably not going to be satisfied with the sound unless you get an OEM woofer. Best thing to do is put a WTB post in the Garage Sale here and check eBay often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ummagumma-89 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 I did man. I STILL haven't heard from them. Klipsch took 2 months or more to get back to me on speaker grills and badges which I have found myself. Called gentech, they gave me a email. Never heard back in a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_flht Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hi, What if you bought a spare pair of cones, wouldn't that do your thing? https://reconingspeakers.com/product/klipsch-k-24k-12-aftermarket-recone-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Would let those Dayton's play for a week or 2, just to limber them up. After all they are new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
