    Look at offerings from Niles, I have used them with great results.   The two that I use, have two switches outlets with 12 volt trigger inputs switching the outputs with the 12 volt signal from your Emotiva

     

    Thanks just what I was looking for!

  2. I have 2 Wo in my den and they sound great but will not go real low. I tried one in my truck with good results. I then built a auto tuba and tried it in my truck, go with a tuba. It will shake your truck a part with that little 10" driver. Liked the WO but the tuba wins hands down in a truck imo.

    Depending on the exact version of K-402s that you have, they are probably already painted black.  My "second-generation" K-402s are, i.e., the ones that weigh about 25 lbs. each.  (The 15 lb. third generation horns now appear to be unpainted).  I assume that it's the same mat finish paint that Klipsch uses on their Professional products--whatever that happens to be.  You can use steel wool to remove any loose paint.  I'd use a fairly dilute mixture to give a nice finish and to cover extremely thin scratches, i.e., don't use a thick thixotropic type of paint, etc.  Any big scratches can be filled with something that can be very lightly sanded with 400-600 grit for preparation to paint.

     

    The only place in the horn to be careful about painting the front surface is in the throat area--I'd keep the paint thickness down to one thin coat in this area.  Otherwise you can probably do almost anything reasonable, keeping the coating thickness on the thin side--nothing thick.

    Thanks , that is what I was thinking. Just going for a very light coat of semi gloss black. Didn't know if the paint would react with the fiberglass and plastic in the horn

  4. Just got a pair of 402 horns, they have a few minor scratch's and could use a little refinish to get them looking great. Was thinking about a very light buff with steel wool and 

    painting them. Is this safe and what kind of paint should I use? Would like to use a semi gloss paint if I can.

  5. Guys I heard this set up in person, it is just scary in that room. VERY little power and it was a awesome experience . Those horns play much bigger than their size, and that sub could be used as a weapon in that room. Bass was tight and controlled and those horns were crystal clear and sounded much bigger than their size. @rockhound next time your close we going to jam a little with the new 402's.

  6. I have a set of pretend jubs ( jamboree bass bin with K 402 on top) and my thtlp blends very well. Sounds like my mains are the only thing running, very tight and quick bass just like the jamboree's, but with a ton of output if you need it.

  7. Got a minidsp 2x4 coming to set up my new 402 horns on top of my jamborees. First time going active and looking for any help I can get. Have a mic and have a VERY basic understanding of REW. So help a guy out with some advice, I want to get all I can out of the 402's they deserve it.

    I think they are voiced better than the RF-7ii's.  When you switch back and forth between a 396 and RF-7ii, the 7's sound kind of shouty comparatively, and these sound more like a 396.  That midrange horn is where the magic is, just sounds more accurate I think.  

    This is my exact feelings after hearing them at the gathering.

  9. Open water 1 when I was in the army, got to dive a bunch in the Red Sea, when I was stationed over there. Spent a lot of time in local lakes when I got out. Not been in 20 years just lost interest.
