Frzninvt Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 It may not be weighted the same as the original and won't perform the same. Proceed with caution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
314carpenter Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The Forte III replacement has a logo on the dustcap. That logo will end up 22.5 degrees out of level due to the mounting pattern alignment not being the same between those models. The fitment is not exactly the same either. Some material from the Klipsch Forte II cabinet will need to be removed. Also, the replacement will not fit flush like the original, due to the basket being slightly thicker. The parts department may or may not return your request for parts, a known issue. The availability of used parts on the market is currently zero, but it has been this way for many years. The passive radiator is the most commonly requested replacement part for these speakers. There has never been a direct replacement program put into place since these products went out of production decades ago. What parts were available were swept up a long time ago. If anyone wants to say any of these things are not true, please back up your comments with proof, or better yet, measurements and inventory levels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winglet Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) Simply speakers has a recone kit for these in stock. https://www.simplyspeakers.com/klipsch-speaker-passive-radiator-recone-kit-rk-klpkd15.html I’ve never used the kit, but somewhere on here is a writeup about doing the repair.
