Gbal4 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hello everyone I`m new to the forum I got a Klipsch 5.0.2 Home Theater System and I love it. I have a custom 15 inch sub as of now however I want build a custom box with DUAL 12 inch Klipsch Subwoofers to match my mains and Center. My question is where do i find the Raw driver or Replacement driver who sell these and where do I find the speaker specs I want to make sure I have the correct size cabinet for the subs ...................Thanks for the help !!!

wuzzzer Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Klipsch doesn't usually sell spare parts for diy projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to match the copper color with my towers you're better off buying used klipsch subs rather than building a pair -or even buyinf a new set on Promo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedster1 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) I do this routine a lot, so here's my suggestion~ Search ebay for your chosen driver by its original model name, R-12SW for example, and either buy a bare driver or one in a cabinet with a blown amp. Look up your T-S parameters here http://www.loudspeakerdatabase.com/ and use https://speakerboxlite.com/manufacturers/shared to get in the ballpark with cabinet dimensions. There are other tools available for project as well, but these are quick and dirty and quite close enough!! OR!!! Buy a Klipsch cabinet and go the other direction . . . replace the driver with something similar from the aftermarket. Dayton/Parts express has a ton of good stuff. I just finished a pair of R-100SW for a bedroom system using the last two Peerless by Tymphany SDF-250F75PRO1-06 on the planet (for the for-seeable future, at least) and they absolutely ROCK!! These were bare cabinets and I just blocked off the amp hole with a bit of aluminum diamond plate. That amp is an old LF-10 unit but they're being powered in the bedroom with a Carver M-1.5t Good luck, have fun, and I hope this is helpful 😊 Edited July 10, 2022 by Jedster1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedster1 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 (edited) May as well throw in this photo for grins. 😆 These are Def-Tech 10/10 IW subs in some steam-punk cabinets that aren't quite finished but I'm impatient so they're in use already 🤣 They shake everything off the shelves in the adjacent room so I have to keep them constrained 😂 Edited July 10, 2022 by Jedster1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbal4 Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 WOW thanks for the help I have a friend who builds subwoofer cabinets so he will be taking on this project. Love what you did I can`t wait until it`s done .....is that a Carver Power Amp I see ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedster1 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 No problem and happy to help 😊 Yeah, old Carver A-500x. I have a ton of old Carver, Outlaw and Adcom stuff along with the Klipsch stuff. Too much!! I figured out one day that if I hooked them all together I'd have a 15,000 watt amp 😆🤣 I'm also working on a set of Not-your-Average Heresys with built-in powered subs and 80s vintage drivers and crossovers but those seem to always take back seat to an old Shovelhead chopper I'm building. Too many projects, too little time. ☹️ I'd do a build thread on what's gone into those Def-Techs but this is, after all, a Klipsch forum 🤣 I'll definitely do one on the Heresys though. Good luck with your project!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
