homatose Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Update, the re-coned driver works. Albeit I believe the K-49 kit I installed has a 4 ohm voice coil vs. the original spec K-49-EP2 has an 8 ohm. There seem to be different specs for all K-49-X variants out there, I wish I didn't overlook that detail but I suppose if I find myself bent out of shape I can always tear it down and start over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver is marked 4ohms, but the cabinet is marked 8ohms. https://m.blog.naver.com/jkckka/220889803756 Where can one obtain grilles like these?
