Jeff R Posted December 12, 2024 Share Posted December 12, 2024 If you have no luck, you can get a recone kit from Simply Speakers for the KD 17. I don't attempt a recone on a speaker with a voicecoil, but since the KD 17 is a passive radiator, it is fairly simple. I have done a couple with good results.

Vivi Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 There's no replacement driver that's anything like it. I have 2 KP-480s here which I am trying to figure out a suitable replacement driver for. The KD-17 recone kit needs a 4.2 ounce weight glued onto it. Washers work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff R Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 That's the way I did it. Should have been able to use the weight from the old cone but there was none. I still have not figured out where it could have possible gone. If the old cone fell apart (which was the case), the weight should have been rolling around in the cabinet or stuck to magnet of the 18" speaker. It was no where to be found.
