That's ok, I just ordered 4 Z-brackets from klipsch. jc

Good idea, I have a pile of disposable gloves at the house. I appreciate everyone help. jc

Michael, Just got off the horn with klipsch. They have 8 Z-brackets on the shelf. I ordered 4 of them. I wan't to do this because the trachorn will be flush...just to stay consistent. That fraction thing is a bear. I hope I can just use 8 inches. Since it won't be inside a cabinet, I don't have top worry about an "airtight seal". jc

Dude, Just got off the phone with Klipsch parts. They have 8 of the z brackets left. You have to ask for the part number specifically. I got 4 of them! jc

I agree. But I won't be using a sealed cabinet for this project. I could just make a bigger hole but it won't look as nice. jc

Al, As you know, I won't need a lot of the stuff you include with the Trachorn such as grill and baffle. However, you will include a "z bracket" or something similar? I do need this to mount my K-77 vertically and flush. Already have my bass bins built. Just waitin' on you man for the HF section measurements. jc

Called Klipsch today to inquire about the z- bracket. The said they don't sell the bracket w/o the purchase of a K-77-F. I was transfered to tech support and they said the same thing. jc

Can I get this from Home depot? Is it called "Liquid nails"? jc

I have built a bass bin and there are a few areas inside where the adjoining wood may have a small separation. The cabinet is "glued and screwed" but I would like to fill the internal gaps. Any suggestions? jc

Well that is creative, I personally think that 400 watts at 4 ohms will be not be enough to drive your drivers to good "quality". This is basically 100 watts per driver....I think. Man, what does your cabinet look like? jc

The only other way i can figure you will wire this is to have two 8 ohm drivers for each channel of the amp. Is the wattage you quoted coming from 2 chanels or is that the mono power. If you have two channel with this amp and each channel is 400 Watts at 4 ohms, I would wire each channel with two drivers like this: The only other possibilities would be if your drivers are dual voice coil. jc

I would go for the higher wattage with 4 ohms. Is there a "beter" sound? I don't know. I just can't figure how you are going to show a 4 or 8 ohm load to the amp with 4 drivers. Here is the only option and it is a 2 ohm load to the amp:

Guys, Help me out here. Is the purpose of this so that you can flush mount the K77 to the front. By the above picture, it looks as if it onlu placed the tweeter 1/4 inch forward. It doesn't look like it would help you install from the front either. Looks like it changed the width of the motorboard opening bu not the height. The magnet on that tweeter isn't a problem like mine. jc

Important, What is the OHM rating of the individual drivers? What is the power rating of the subs individually? How many drivers? You may find that 260 watts driving 2 or more subs may not provide enough power. If your sub drivers are 8 ohm and running two drivers, I would run them parallel to show 4 ohm to the amp. Therefore about 200 watts per driver. If your sub drivers are 4 ohm and running two drivers, I would run them parallel to show 2 ohm to the amp if it can handle it. Running series in this configuration to show the amp 8 ohms may be too weak. If your running 3 or 4 drivers, amp may be too weak jc

Please please please, Could someone show me a link or photo of what this looks like. jc

That is very impressive. I am belittled. Please post a pic of this. My wife and I chose not for the mirror or the piano balck look because they would not match my la Scalas or my other black Klipsch speakers. They all seem to be a a marginal shine. No mirror. My over all cost of primer and paint with a foam roller and a foam brush....Don't laugh....$30. I still have 3/4 quart of primer and 1/2 quart paint. Probably will trash the paint though. I really didn't buy any sand paper for the finishing job. I tried sanding this paint for a few minutes and realized it was futile. Of course, I used sandpaper, wood glue, wood filler to repair the damage when I got em'. jc

Ah yes, That would be my B-3. jcmjrt, I have the 84" Corn. Myself and others on this forum have this year as well. The mid in mine is a K-57-K driver. I too have a B-3 network. I believe in 85' the tweet was changed and the the Corn became a Cornwall II. As Michael (Colterphoto) said, Your corns and ours could be considered a Cornwall 1.5

Man, That 7.920 measurement will make it tough for me. What in the heck would that be in a fraction? Well, I hope this will work. Ignore the bottom. jc

I love it. So I therefore won't use your bracket. I will flush mount the Trachorn and put the K77 beside it vertically. I prefer this set up as well. ARE YOU TELLING ME THE OFFICIAL MOUTH MEASUREMENTS ARE 18 INCHES X 7.920 INCHES. THIS IS DIFFERENT THAN YOUR SCHEMATIC ON THE WEBSITE. YOU TELL ME THIS IS TRUE, I'M GONNA START CUTTIN'! SERIOUSLY! jc One question about your lastest schematic. What is the dotted line?

Al, I can't visualize the "drop in" bracket. I have read your site and well aware of your proposed dimensions of the trachorn. I also know how to mount it individually. Was the "drop in" feature only for the Khorn and the Belle? Is this to look similar to what you did to your Belle? Will a grill be necessary to make it look esthetically pleasing? Will I just need one hole to put in the Trachorn and the K77? Below is the rough estimate of my HF section of my new cabinet. The 23 3/4 X 10 is the INTERNAL dimensions of the HF section. So will this 2 hole side by side option work or will I need one hole for your "drop in" feature? I didn't plan on using a grill. I wanted to paint your horn black. But it would have to look good. jc

Thanks Michael, This was basically a practice run for me. Never have done ANY wood work before. The grill deal was new for me as well. I am debating on what to use for the next project which will be from scratch. As you can see, this worked well with VERY little money and no electric tools. jc

Those little spots you see are not on the speaker but an artifact of the camera's flash and the open blinds.

Sorry the picture is so big. I wanted to show you high def so you know I wasn't pulling one on you. This one is with the blinds shining right on the other speaker. The grills are custom. jc

Well, I thought I would show a picture of the result since nobody would consider my paint choice. This attached picture is from the normal light setting on my theater room. The 5.2 beside it has a glass top. jc

Yes Micheal, I did sand it some and it was hard. Hoever, this was manual and I'm sure a power sander would work. The "lines" you are speaking of are faded and basically unoticeable. I think I will leave them alone. I've had some friends come over and think they are a beaty. Of course, they could just being polite. Wife likes them too. Micheal, I have a bunch of "better" projects on the way. I typically wanted his to be quick and it was. I did it all "in my house". Crazy huh. There was no mess. If I get board in the future, I may just resand them, reprime them and use an oil paint. But they look to good right now for me to think of redoing that process. jc
