Hello all, new to the forum here, I have an old pair pair of Kenwood JL-965AV speakers that need new woofers.They are the old white cone square frame 12" with a 12" passive radiator foam surrounds are gone and the passive cones are missing.I'm wanting to buy some square frame replacements from parts express.What I'm wondering is if it would work to buy 4 woofers and take the magnets and voice coils off of 2 of them and use them for passives? and if I do should I leave the spider in place or remove it? most OEM passives I've seen don't have spiders,but most after market one have spiders.I know it's a waste to junk 2 speakers but I'd like to stick with the old square frame look. or would I be better buying a couple of high Q woofers and blocking off the passive holes the cabinets are 3.21 cu.ft. gross
Couldn't you get some passive radiators Dayton Audio SD315-PR 12" Passive Radiator and mount them from the rear with your original square frames on the front?
Hmm...Never thought about that, would have to cut the back off the baskets, doesn't limit me on woofer choices as much that way. Hell yeah good suggestion.
