The cut-out in the back is small enough that, when pushed up to the wall, the MWM will still support my K-Horn. Also, I measured the MWM (like I said, I have 4 in the garage) and it really does not stick out a whole lot further in the front than my K-Horn already is. Uglier, yes, but I thought most of this is about the sound and not how I can impress everyone with my Zebrawood cabinet. I just don't want to go to the trouble of setting all this up if it won't sound better. I am in Dallas if anyone wants these other two.

I found some MWM commercial split woofers and am trying to decide if I should put them with my Klipschorns. The K-Horns are fine alone but I wanted a bit of increased bass. The 4 MWM's I got are split units, meaning they each are half as high as the double 15" MWM and they stack as needed, each with a single 15". I am looking for input as to what I could expect sound wise if I put one MWM under each K-Horn and separately ran it with something like a BGW that I have. The MWM has a K-43 woofer. Thanks for any ideas. By the way, 2 of these could be for sale - I don't need 4!

Thanks for all the comments - input is exactly what I was looking for (even though it varys tremendously). The BGW SPA-3 amplifiers have 3 sets of controls. Low-mid amp has -6 db to +6 db level, fc of 50 Hz to 500 Hz control, Q of 0.5 to 2.0, and delay adjustable in 1-10 100 us increments and then +1 and +1 and +1 ms dip switches. In addition, this zone has a dip switch adjustable high-pass filter 10 Hz through 80 Hz, 10 Hz increments. Mid-high amp has delay of 1-10 50 us increments and then +500 and +500 and +500 us. High freq amp has no delay control. All zones have additional variable gain and contour so I guess those I can do by ear, but what does anyone recommend on these first settings. Thanks again guys.

Got a pair of 1987 Klipschorn's with AK-2 crossovers. They sound fine attached to my Marantz 2325 and other amps I have, but I'd like to try tri-amping if there is any benefit. Recently I picked up a quantity of BGW SPA-3 tri-amps. These are apparently 225 watt/channel amps and under the front cover have adjustable gain/digital delay, etc and built-in electronic crossover ahead of the amps - 3 amps in each box. They were intended for large venues where various speakers can be placed in different locations in the room and and various delays and cut-offs set. Bottom line - can I make my Klipschorns sound better by splitting each of the drivers and using these amps, instead of using my existing factory crossovers and full range amps? Is the difference worth the hassle?
