Repair the blown tweeter in your bass cab and save $$$$$

[Doug Parent]

On the U.S Speaker website, the part number is a PHT-8RD. It sells for $15.99

On the same website a new tweeter is $51.59

Foster and P-Audio use the same diaphragm.

Just about every bass cab manufacturer uses THIS SAME tweeter, from Ampeg to Bergantino, Epifani to GK. Avatar uses the Foster version. Same = Same = Same.

It's not a bad idea to have a spare diaphragm on hand, replacing them usually can be done under an hour.

Note that there are 3 different diaphragms that are commonly used that look the same but are not and are not interchangeable.

Be sure you buy the right part for the job, otherwise it won't assemble properly.

And no soldering!

Replacement tweeter diaphrams.......something all but the most casual player should know how to do.

And yes, the vast majority of the bass cab industry uses basically the same tweeter.

I wish I would've invented that tweeter.

They left out the part where you put epoxy over the top of the screws.

I wish I'd've invented Bott's Dots. Then just get a penny apiece for every one ever installed.

I think there was a thread this morning about GK glueing the screws in so you couldn't make the repair?
