Blowing tweeters in Ki362

Hi,

We installed a pair of Ki362 speakers into a bar and venue about this time last year. Since then we have replaced the tweeter horns 6 times. The tweeters do not appear to be burnt out, the dome has physically come away from the coil assembly. In desperation, we have modified the crossovers to run the mid horn to the top of the band and have disconnected the tweeters. We are receiving very little support from the NZ/Australian agent in getting this sorted out, and our client does not have many good things to say about Klipsch at present !!

It's a pity, as the speakers sound damn fine. Has anybody else experienced this problem ? Is there anybody from Klipsch here who might take this on board to sort it out ?

Look forward to responses.

Those have the K792 tweeter.

See if Klipsch will provide a pair of the old K79.

It is a glue problem, Klipsch should fix it at no cost to you.

The original K79 had a phenolic impregnated fabric diaphragm, with a paper voice coil former. They did not come off the dome as you described.

Titanium is very difficult to glue to. Companies that try and use a Kapton former with titanium always have a problem with the dome falling off.
