m00n Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Hi all... My Promedia setup is OLD! Back when they first came out. The foam around subwoofer drivers has started to crumble away. So, I'd like to replace the drivers. Are there recommendations on which drivers to replace them with? Stock? Or is there something better than stock? Also, what size exactly are those drivers? They look like they are 6"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yes, still kicking! Thinking they are 6 inch also. Maybe @001 can find you some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m00n Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 What about upgrade option though? Are there recommended upgrade drivers? I was looking at options over at Parts express. This is the only driver that came up when filtering for 6" Subwoofer driver. https://www.parts-express.com/speaker-components/hi-fi-woofers-subwoofers-midranges-tweeters/subwoofer-drivers/nominaldiameter/6 I have to think there are other options besides this one single driver.

jason str Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 For there to be a upgrade path we would need information that's unavailable from Klipsch, I suggest you try to find a used one or Klipsch parts for a replacement. Think it's 6 1/2" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OO1 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 there are 2 woofers non THX and Promedia 2.1 THX https://www.ebay.com/itm/363302636962?hash=item5496864da2:g:QYoAAOSwslBgAGvA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00n Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 I guess the one thing I worry about with used is... Just how used/how old are they? They might look new, but could be 12 years old and the foam on those may have started to deteriorate as well. Can these bought brand new?

m00n Posted February 7, 2022 Author Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hey 001... I meant just the driver. Hate to toss out a perfectly working unit (other than woofer drivers). I don't know if this is true or not, but, I've heard that the new Promedia's don't sound as good as the original ones. Have you heard this before? I dunno... Maybe I should just buy a new set... The set I have is actually the 4.1 set. I don't need the extra two speakers anyway. Never really did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you loose a 4.1 pro media set? The wires are 5 miles long, are unruly and make a mess. Should be easy to find. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
