help surrounds / matching klipsch

pne123 · 13th January 2004, 05:52 PM

I have klipsch rf-3II fronts and rc-3II center and my wife will not let me spend any more money (newborn christmas eve)
I would like to DIY some rear surrounds that match the klipsh's.
Any suggestions for drivers/xo'ers?
I actually found drawings for the klipsh's speakers on their website under "classic", "reference", "rs-3"

Is there someplace I can buy replacement klipsch woofers/tweeters and xo'ers? The website lists the part numbers. Or find out the spec's of them to find close alternatives? The box is the easy part....

Or should I just not worry about matching and just make some good speakers?

My setup uses the same RF3II's for mains and a DIY center. I have been trying to find Klipsch speakers for a while now and have only been successful through ebay. It is the kind of thing that you must check up on daily, as Klipsch drivers by themselves are still fairly rare on ebay. Others may be able to help more than myself

If found on ebay they usually are pretty inexpensive sence the demand is small.

I have seen Rs-3II on ebay for about 350.
I would like to spend less...
at this point, I need to go as inexpensive.

the cabinet is free to me, I have all that I need to make it
