DanSoloRocker Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Upon inspection of a pair of Klipsch Forte's that I recently acquired, I've discovered that I'm missing a gasket for the gasket for one passive radiator. Does anyone have a spare (or spare pair) that they wouldn't mind parting with for a reasonable sum? Helpless in Dallas . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the things I do when refreshing a pair of speakers is replace all of the old gaskets for a better more air tight seal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the 3/16" foam compress enough for the drivers to mount flush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 You can get the thin gasket tape at parts express. Do not use silicone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff I buy squishes pretty flat and is easy to work with they sell all different sizes width and thicknesses probably equal to two of the factory gaskets after drivers have been tightened down? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
