Great home theater sub, good luck with your sale.

I spent some time with these a while back at Simply Stereo and thought the Cornwall III was much better than the Heresy III's.
Not only was the Cornwall more efficient, the bass & midbass were leaps and bounds better than the Heresy both in depth & fullness.
The midrange had more bite too, probably the lower crossover point.
The Heresy III is a great speaker but it doesn't stack up against the Cornwall's, keep in mind there is a much higher price on the Corn's.

We need to see some pic's of the outdoor bar I have grown to love the idea.
Just broke foundation today, I will hopefully get it formed up and maybe the pad poured in the next day or so. It will be small but serve its purpose, I have some ideas brewing, we will see what unfolds.
You must be a busy man with the basement construction and speaker building. Hope everything turns out nice.

I cant even imagine what a collection of 1800 CDs looks like. I love jazz!
Lots of heavy boxes & old kitchen cabinets stacked full.
I thought i got rid of all the records too but recently came across 2 more boxes full.

I think the photo is a KG 4

If you decide to part out the set i will take the Cab Calloway C/D

His Chorus II's are covered up in the closet.

Thanks for the condolences Youthman but dad is still going, he just is no longer interested in music for some reason. Just gave up cold turkey
His longtime weekend music session Bob offed himself a few years back and willed pop's his C/D collection, poker set & chessboard.

I have the same problem, over 1800 classical & jazz CD's out in the garage from Dad and his passed friend.
Too bad i don't get into that kind of music or it would be a personal gold mine.
Good luck with your C/D's

What a catastrophe, hope this gets fixed next week.
I'd be pretty pissed of myself if i was in your shoes.

Mark101 had two Titan 48's for sale they would do the trick.
Those are designed for PA and will do for music only, not for HT, where if you can get below 20 hz., it's better.
I agree, not suited for home theater use.

you make custom grills as well? i'll bite. pm sent
I was just going to instruct you how to make some, its easy.
If you like i can make some for you.
-
Custom grilles sound like a great addition, if you need any help feel free to PM me.

I toe mine in with the closest point of the passive about a foot or more from the wall. Don't put them too close to the wall, that's like putting a port too close and will muffle bass response. Anywhere from a foot to a foot and a half is a good place to start. Every room is different so experiment away.
Well put oldtimer, couldn't have said it better myself.
Same rules apply to all Klipsch products with rear mounted passive.
-
One good size THT will do it.
Lay it on top of the mains or suspend it above your speakers firing into the wall to the right or left.
You could do 2 but probably won't need it.
Either version would fit, standard or long style.

There's something out there for everybody, think of those who bought a new Yugo.
Did you see the Yugo station wagon the Wego ?

Stopped at the Kangaroo truck stop and I saw a disturbing name tag on the girl in there making coffee. I'm gonna go ahead and say it was the worst name I've seen on a name tag too. It was "Latrina". Come on folks, don't name your kid a toilet!
Probably a dirty girl.

Easy day planned, got an email from the El Dorado in Reno, Motly Crew on 25 july, hell yeah, never seen them and this as their retirement tour.
Saw Motley crew at Rosemont Horizon in the mid 80's. Have not heard that name in some time.
They're coming to Summerfest in Milwaukee, maybe i will check it out.
-
Can't even see the color difference by the pictures, they must be pretty close.
Now its time to add a THT or 2, i don't think a Spud will play up to the frequency where the La Scala's start to roll off.
Great looking theater room.

Thought you said bust out a joint, my mistake.

Judging from my experience i think any car subwoofer benefits from cabin gain but i have not used measurement tools, just my ears or built any bandpass subs (not a big fan).
I spent quite some time experimenting with sub placement & box types with a Dodge conversion van years back and found by far the best placement was under the rear seat/folding bed facing back at the rear doors, then tried both ported & sealed box types with different tuning and ended up with a ported box tuned at 40 Hz. This kept the bass tight & response reasonably flat without having to use much EQ.
Since most car subs are in the trunk mounting options are limited but always seem to work best firing at the back of the trunk.
Placement is important but so is a properly tuned system, i like bass but don't like it to overpower the rest of the system.
There is some more information here. Link
I have built a dozen systems or maybe a bit more and helped out friends in the past and don't consider myself a know it all expert by any means but do try to help out where i can with what knowledge i have.

As far as I know the drivers are rated at 1 watt/meter just like home drivers. I believe his was 91 dB.
Well the only thing it could be is the small size of the listening area, possibly compared to the length of a bass note, mid and high freq aren't a problem in cars usually just the bass requires more. ?
Automotive subwoofers almost always work better aimed at the back of the car or truck or cab, a hatchback will sometimes work better with the driver facing up with the hatch angle almost working as a horn. There are some exceptions but this is a general rule. Experimentation is the key.
Cabin gain starts even higher in frequency and multiplies to a greater extent because of the small confined space and can make low bass notes to be too much in the small space almost drowning midbass notes if tuned too low.
-
Automotive acoustics are strange, just like living rooms. We haven't measured it but it actually sounds louder in the passenger front seat than it does in the drivers front seat.
Facing the driver towards the rear of the cab will help.

In theory the flat pack is a great idea but in reality you will still need to cut most of your panels to size as PL expansion is never exact and little discrepancies add up over every installed panel.

I remember driving by Lynch Porsche on the way to my grandparents house in Chicago and drooling over the 928, what a sweet looking ride.
If only my folks were rich, it would have been the ultimate 16th birthday gift.
I had to settle with a 75 Pontiac Catalina 400 4bbl, Mom's 2 door driver that i made payments on for almost a year. At least it had factory mag wheels and a decent engine. Not bad for a first car i guess.
