cbaker Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Does anyone have any black covers for KG 3.2 speakers that they would be willing to sell? If so, I'd be interested! Also, how would you repair a small tear in the rubber material around the woofer, if at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Have you tried calling 1-800-KLIPSCH to see if they have some replacement grills for KG3.2s? A small thin layer of silicone should do the trick. You really don't need to worry about the small hole, but you might want to do the silicon to make sure it doesn't get any worse. You could just monitor it closely, and if it doesn't worsen then leave it well enough alone. How did it happen? Is it really a tear or is the rubber getting old and cracking?

STL Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 BTW, I have a pair of KG3.2 grills I'm not currently using, but I do have plans for them. Let me know if Klipsch can no longer supply them for you as I might be persuaded to sell mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbaker Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Unfortunately, Klipsch can't supply them. Are you willing to sell yours? I would be interested in purchasing them, if the price is right. Let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbaker Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks for the silicone tip. I guess it might be a crack (about 1" long), but the material doesn't seem too dry. I can't figure out how it happened. Luckily, it doesn't seem to be spreading. BTW, I did try calling the Klipsch hotline. No luck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I might be willing to sell them, but do know that it won't be for cheap. Like I said, I do have an application for them -- so by selling them that means I'm going to have to make some from scratch (and buy some Klipsch nameplates). Let me take a look at them as well as snap some pictures for you. Be aware that it is possible to replace those passive radiators with ports (without really changing the sound). I just mention that so you know if the rips gets worse and you're not able to stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbaker Posted November 16, 2007 Author Share Posted November 16, 2007 Sounds fair enough. I look forward to seeing the pictures. Let me know what you're thinking in terms of a price. I'll keep that port idea in mind, too. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I took a quick look at them, and other that having a thick coat of dust of them they look good. I don't have time now to properly clean them up and take pictures, but I should be able do that sometime next week. Being that selling these grills means I'm going to have to take the time to build a new pair (and buy some logos for them) I'm going to have to ask $60 for the pair. Just for reference, I wanted to let you know I have an old parts price list from Klipsch -- that they used to have published on their website long ago -- that shows the cost of replacement grills for the KG3.5s to be $42 each (including the logos). The KGx.5 series was as far back as that list showed, but I assume that grills for the KG3.2 would have been in that same ballpark. No need to make a final decision until after I get you some pictures, but if that price is totally out of your price range do let me know so I don't bother with the pics.

colterphoto1 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 are you guys talking about grilles (covers) or woofer surrounds? I think I'm hearing both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbaker Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 I am still interested, and I do think we both are talking about speaker covers. Let me know if I am mistaken. I look forward to seeing the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Yes, I do mean grills (covers). I'll hope to get them cleaned up and some photos taken by this time next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
