Sorry I forgot to check the second page. My mistake!!! Anyway any suggestions on how to increase the bass response of the I's. Someone said putting the Heresey II woofers in made a big difference, what do you think Klipschguy. Thanks again

I submitted this once but here goes again. Thanks klipsch guy for the great mod. I followed your directions to the "T" and the mod was simple for a dummy like me. You might check your repeat which says to hook it to the midrange, I think you made a typo there. Thanks again, Russ

The Heresey's are placed on 4' stands and are in the corners facing the middle of the room. I am probably just used to my corner horns bass response. Trying to compare each of these, there is no question who wins. Thanks for the replys. Russ

Klipschguy, great recommendation! Thanks to your easy to follow instructions I completed the update of my 80's Heresey's successfully. They sound much better, the highs no longer drown out everything. I noticed on your recap that you said to hook it up to the midrange I think you maid a mistake. Anyway thanks for the free and great advice. Russ

quote: Originally posted by Klipschguy: Tom, I think this modification is just what your looking for because the story your telling about the room postions and the tone controls were exactly what I was doing - until recently. The mod is very, very simple. All you have to do is: Note: This applys to the E Type crossover (not E-2 or others). 1)Remove the back - just take out the screws and don't overtighten on reassembly. The wires will still be attached to the back - just leave them alone. 2) Locate the T2A on the crossover. It looks like a transformer and has brown paper wrapped around the core. On CLOSE inspection of the brown paper you will see little numbers by the little taps (0,1,2,3,4,5). 3) The negative lead of the tweeter should be soldered to tap #3 (after it passes thru a 2uF oil filled metal-can capacitor). You'll see the number "3" on the brown paper. 4) Disconnect the #3 tap lead with a soldering iron (or, if you don't have a soldering iron, you can snip it, just leave about an inch of wire so you can reattach it if you don't like the mod). 5) Loosen the screw on the crossover which goes to the negative (white and black wire) side of the squawker (also makes it's way over to the T2A TAP 2) and put the wire under the screw and tighten it up (you will need to strip a little insulation off the wire to get good contact). Everything is clearly marked inside. Note: red is positive, black is negative. !!!Make sure you can trace your hook up wire back to TAP 2 on the T2A - you do not want a short! You can use a meter acoss the terminals to make sure you do not have a short, BEFORE listening tests. 6) Your done. Put the back on and listen to the results. 7) recap: Move tap #3 wire to negative side of midrange on the crossover (this will correspond to using tap #2 on the T2A - check it out when your inside the speaker). Make sure you can trace your hook up wire back to TAP 2 on the T2A! Use a meter across the inputs to make sure your not shorted. 8) post results here when done 9) VERY IMPORTANT: THESE INSTRUCTIONS APPLY TO THE E-TYPE BALANCING NETWORK. MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU HOOK THE TWEETER WIRE UP THAT IT IS EITHER DIRECTLY HOOKED TO THE T2A TAP 2, OR IF IT IS HOOKED TO THE CROSSOVER, MAKE SURE THE TWEETER WIRE CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THE T2A TAP2! IMPORTANT NOTE: The E-2 crossover has the POSITIVE side of the squawker going to the T2A, NOT THE NEGATIVE, so if you put the TAP 3 tweeter wire under the negative squawker screw with the E-2 network - YOU WILL BE SHORTED. 10) This modification is indeed simple, but requires some basic wiring knowledge and a little common sense. If you are unsure of what you are doing, DON'T do it, because I don't want anyone to short out their amplifier. Different crossover types are wired differently - so make sure (also somebody may have rewired something in the past - unknown to you). Before you hook your speaker up to an amplifier, use a meter to make sure your not getting a dead short - should be somewhere around 8 Ohms (I don't know the EXACT value, but it's NOWHERE near ZERO). 11) Make mod at YOUR OWN RISK, I am not responsible or liable for your actions. Klipschguy P.S. I have a feeling your speakers are going to sound a heck of a lot better.

I am hoping that some one can help me with a Heresey problem My 80's Hereseys are to bright for my liking and not much bass response. What can I do to fix this problem. Please help!!!!! Many Thanks
