mrinne Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hello, I have bought a pair of Chorus II, but the owner before me has lost the woofer after he got that broken. Where could I find a new one? Best regards Mikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 You could post on AudiogoN or eBay now has a wanted section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frzninvt Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I think that is the K-48K woofer if I am not mistaken. Call 1-800-Klipsch and ask for the parts department and see if by chance they still have them available. If not it may be tough to find. Someone on the forum bought a pair a while back and had them shipped and received kindling and drivers so he may be able to sell you a woofer if he has no intention of rebuilding the cabinets.

DrWho Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 It's the K-48 E, or at least that's what I got from the website: WOOFER: K-48-E 15" (38.1cm) Fiber-composite cone active / KD-16 15" (38.1cm) Fiber-composite cone passive (http://www.klipsch.com/product/product.aspx?cid=116&s=specs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodger Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 If they are as difficult to get as the passive radiator, is there a substitute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwoods Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi, I saw a guy over at AA looking to "upgrade" the woofers in his Chorus. You guys should talk. Wow....were you aware, one was wooferless? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Mikko, I just went through this same situation basically with a new woofer for my chorus II. The original woofer is a K 48 E. But you will not get an exact replacement from klipsch. You will recieve a K 48 EP from klipsch. This is actually a pro speaker and is the only replacement they sell. Also you will spend 236.00 + shipping. And cosmetically speaking it isnt even close. So if you are looking for the woofers to be of same appearance you will have to look at another option. Now there is another option. Klipsch does carry a K 48 E woofer kit. This will have same appearnce as your original. But you will either have to have knowledge on how to rebuild your woofer or find a qualified person. I believe there is a member on the forum that will be performing these services for other members for an undisclosed amount. But i would imagine being a fellow member he will have great prices. Another option which i was told about is Woofer.com. I have been told that there have not been any complaints and their work is top notch. They are located in Louisville,Kentucky. Hope i was able to help, Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Well forget the idea of the kit. After i read your post more closely i realize you dont have a woofer to rebuild. Just maybe i was able to educate others who have a woofer and want an exact replacement. Ebay might be your best option. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this list is kept up-to-date however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrinne Posted February 27, 2005 Author Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hi Stormin, how about you, how did you solve the broblem. Did you buy new woofer or the replacement kit. Mikko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Hi Mikko, Well at the moment i have the new replacement woofer from klipsch installed. I have the original sitting in a box awaiting its shippment to woofer.com. Once i recieve it back i will just put the replacement in a box for a spare. Sure is an expensive spare. But as far as the sound of the new replacement from klipsch after about 20 hours of burn in i cannot distinguish one woofer from the other. So its a great match just dont expect it to look like the orginal. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
