Renagade Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Hi there. Can someone possibly help me out. I have just picked up a set of Klipsch Ref Iv RF62 Loudspeakers that has a Blown Tweeter that i saved from being Trashed. The Speakers and Enclosures are in absolute Pristine Condition. They Actually Sound Not to bad - Quite an Ambient Bottom end Bass Extension. I have been Trawling the Net for a Replacement Tweeter Diaphragm and have found this Specific Series of Klipsch Tweeter to be very difficult to obtain. I purchased a Set of Aftermarket Diaphragms which were meant to fit - but totally were wrong and after extensive modification i got it running but found it much softer than the other remaining Tweeter. I've also been in contact with various Speaker repair firms - all who say they also have problems trying to obtain replacement diaphragms. The Tweeter in Question is a K-152N Model. I'm at the stage where i am possibly looking at Retrofitting an alternative set of Tweeters in both Enclosures as the Original Klipsch Tweeters don't exactly look like a quality solid product. Is there a Diaphragm from another Series that would fit the Magnet and Alignment Assembly of the RF 62 ? I thought I'd make a post here and see what the general response would be. and possibly if anyone has any Ideas. Cheers Ren - Downunder NZ.

Renagade Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hi 001. Yes - your correct there is no Diaphragm kit available which is a crying shame. I'm a bit nervous about ordering a Complete Full Spare and finding out that it's not exactly the same as the Existing Working Tweeter. If Spare Diaphragms were available i would purchase Two - just in case, they were not equal i could replace the Two. As silly as it sounds - I know, but i have learnt from previous experiences. With regard to Willand's Reply - I tried Simply Speakers a week back and they said it's a common issue and that they don't have access to replacement diaphragm kits either - Which Frustrates them as well. In contemplating just retrofitting something else into the Enclosure, as it does seem the originals are not that Reliable anyways. I have a spare Set of Vifa Tweeters i might look into Mounting. I'll keep you posted Cheers Ren - New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
