Help w/ Klipsch Outdoor Speakers

[baco99]

I have a pair of Klipsch CA8TW outdoor speakers and both tweeters have gone. The tweeters are horn loaded titanium domes with the number 0244-M on the back. Anyone know what would replace these? Googling has come up empty.

THANKS!

any ideas? Would the K-139 parts work with this particular speaker?
I think this is a contractor version and hybrid of the AW-650 and AW-800SW, where it has the 8" woofer, 1" horn tweeter, and line input transformer inside. The cabinet looks a lot like the AW-800SW.

Any help on the tweeter? Can the diaphragms be replaced?

cabinet looks like this:

But it has the tweeter where the blank is shown.

Did you contact Klipsch? What did they say?

i haven't. i find this forum to usually be a better source of data, in a more timely fashion, than OEM help lines.

but wouldn't hurt.

wondering if these drivers could be used in a more traditional cabinet.... hmmm....

This link says it uses the K-118 tweeter, but then there's no info about that unit anywhere online either.

I'd go to the Klipsch forums and ask there. You will get help in a timely fashion.

Here is the response from Klipsch on the driver used for this speaker.

Any idea what models share the K-118 tweeter? Or should I just part these out and use the woofers for a DIY build...?

Thank you for your email and for being a Klipsch brand owner. The former CA-8-TW models are a discontinued model and there are no replacement parts available for this model. Yes, it would have used the former K-118-A tweeter.

The replacement speaker model for the former CA-8-T speaker would be the CA-800-T WHITE (stock number: 097097000001 )

The CA (commercial audio) line is typically sold through our Commercial Audio or Business audio dealers and you would want to go through one of these dealers for replacement speakers.
