thanks for the info!

I have a triamped system now for my 73 k horns, I will have a crown d75 a running the tweeters, what is the max wattage for the tweeter and what is the convention for adjusting the gain? The amp is rated 45 watts per channel. Thanks

THANKS FOR THE INFO!!!!

Can an amplifier or preamp with unbalanced in/out be modified to balanced in/out? I realize surgery may be required.

The question is #1 Can you drive the woofer section of the passive network with a seperate amplifier and skip the hardships of an active crossover.The answer I get is no. #2 In reference to the article above, does the klipsch passive network consider the inefficiency of the a 15" woofer when compared to extreme efficiency of the tweeter and midrange.The one post that addresses this says the mids have been attenuated. Granted cross overs are not my bag. People on this forum rebuild and tweak them. I would assume this would be an issue when considering the design of network. The end user hears a baby cry before they hear bass. Am I crazy when I say, the top end can be driven by micro watts but that will not be the optimum power range of a 15"woofer.I think its like trying to start from a dead stop in 4th gear. The crossover has a lot to do with this. How is not a cross over question? I see alot of dancing on this question but I could be so far behind that....

This is what I am talking about. "6.0 Attenuation Networks Updated 05 Nov 2001 - a reader pointed out that I had made an error in the woofer sensitivity calculation, so this section has been revised - with the correct information this time. My apologies for any inconvenience. It is rare that the woofer and tweeter (or midrange driver) will have the same sensitivity (i.e. efficiency). The woofer should have the lowest efficiency, since it will require the most power, and any network that reduces the level to the woofer will absorb a disproportionately high power, and will adversely affect the damping factor. The driver selection is very important - ideally, all drivers will have the same efficiency, and no attenuation will be needed. In the real world, this will rarely be the case. Attenuator networks are a necessary evil - it is immeasurably better not to use them at all, but they cannot be avoided unless the drivers have exactly the same sensitivity." Any body who knows this stuff feel free to check this sight to see if its credible http://sound.westhost.com/lr-passive.htm Has this been considered in the khorn?

The high pass for the velodyne is set to 80Hz so I set the low pass to overlap that slightly. In the past I have enjoyed the chest thump typ found around 100Hz that the khorns can produce. The velodyne gives tight rich bottom it also allows a volume control. Thanks for the input

In previous post I have heard of great difficulty matching crossover points using active crossovers.Maybe I should ask the question, why does the original passive crossover in the k horn work better? My aim is not to change the tone or replace the bass bin. I wish to make it louder. In other words bring it out to match the volume of the squawker and tweeter. I have a large room

So, I am unable to use the internal crossover in the khorns to accomplish this. Does it breakdown @ the y from the preamp or am I unable to isolate the woofer section of the crossover? If I use an external crossover do I still need the passive volume control for the Hafler ( there is no gain control)?

I will be splitting the output of my bez preamplifier using rca y connections between 2 monoblock mk111's and a hafler 220. I will be using a line level passive volume control for the hafler solid state amplifier. My goal is to have a seperate volume for the bass bin and the top end of the k horn. My velodyne hgs 18" sub is involved. I need to use the speaker level connections @ the velodyne due to distance from the amplifiers ( line loss).When connected in this fashion the velodyne has a high pass @ 80 hz and adjustable low pass.I have type aa crossovers (1973 k horns). what goes where? Thanks T.C.

I work for a company that builds custom racks for news vehicles etc. You will want to get "bud" mounting rails.Here is a company we use RS electronics. Lengths are 42'(pmr 9450), 52 1/2'(pmr9451), 61 1/4'(pmr 9452), 70'(pmr 9453) and 78.750" (pmr9454). Phone # (800) 258-3603.If you build a frame, the inside width should be about 19.2" to 19.250" depending on your precision. the rack unit is like previously said 1.750". with that inside width,the distance ctc between your threaded mounting holes is 18.329" You may need rear support for heavier items so get four rails. They are sold in packs of 2 for about $50.00 a set.be sure to leave some room @ the top and the bottom. Good Luck.

If your talking about 73 k horn's, 60 watt mono blocks and a big room, yes!!!!!

What's the difference between the two? I have to admit I get confused between the different models.It looks like the same thing except people eat thos hgs's as soon as they hit the used market like cabbage patch dolls or tickle me elmo's.

I put aurelex mega lenrds in the corners above the Khorns. It sounds good cleaned up the base.
