OO1 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 2 subs for 200$ --------Sebastopol --California Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oicu812 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 They are fantastic subs, especially for $200 each. I have a couple of these cabinets that were mostly stripped, and I "rebuilt" them for garage speakers. Don't walk, run! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I was looking at these the other day too. The woofers in these are worth more than the asking price. They are the vented, pro version of the K-48, the K-48-KP and would blow your head clean off, LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These appear to be the 8 ohm version FYI not a big deal if using them as subs but might be for those looking for woofer replacements in the Chorus models.

geoff. Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Ok, that brings up a question about Klipsch woofers that nags me from time to time... Does Klispch make woofers with the same model number with different impedances? I recall seeing discussions over the years but I don’t remember any resolution. This comes to mind because just recently I picked up a mismatched pair of LSI Splits, the one with the AL crossover has a K-43 that reads 3.7 ohms BUT the one with the AA crossover reads 5.7 ohms.

OO1 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The seller has just updated the EBAY Listing --2 items --200$ each ----------while the ad states "klipsch speakers used. Kp 1000 Cabinets Pair $200 for both " https://www.ebay.com/itm/klipsch-speakers-used-/265459505131?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 -no such thing as a K-43 8Ohms unless the k43 basket was reconed with an 8ohms aftermarket kit - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff. Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Yes, I scratched my head and doubled checked both of them in hopes the readings would change, lol They were measured through the access door on the bottom of the bass bins directly across the woofer terminals. And they were both stamped K-43. I double checked that too in hopes it would change. They are on a list of projects to get @ but I could get in there again sooner than later to take pictures. Could extreme abuse change coil impedance before frying it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Were they disconnected from the crossover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak on the k-43's but I know for certain the k-48 was made in both 4ohm and 8 ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first got two widely different measurements I pulled off the dog house doors to see what woofers were actually in there. And they both have K-43 stamped on identical looking magnets.

It is possible there was a re-cone done on one did you actually remove the woofers to see if they appeared the same? I know my old now closed speaker repair shop could change woofers from 8 to 4 ohms I had a pair of KP-42's re-coned for a mini Chorus II project some years back.

Amphicar Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 These would pair great with the set of KP-201s I am attempting to match up. Hoping seller gets back to me with a shipping quote, hesitant to push buy it now and have them cancel afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selector Z Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Made the drive from Humboldt to the Bay Area yesterday and am happy to say I am the new owner of these!

Selector Z Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Will do! I am piecing together a speaker stack to play outdoor events and am getting close! Have some folded horn 18s for subs, now just gotta find some kp301s to go the simple route. Would be nice to get lucky and find some MSSMs, MSMs with MTMs though! Might build squaker and tweeter boxes and use parts from Crites if the first two options dont manifest. Feeling stoked! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
