  1. I'm not knocking the build, just not something I know a lot about. I think the guy who built them did a good job. And all. I also think there are many people who like to troll the internet when someone asks an innocent question.
  2. I paid a little more, but I also got a C7 center, rs7 sides, sw 12, and the towers. Not all forums are as friendly or as helpful as this one. That's why I came over here to ask, just took a minute to reset my password.
  3. I appreciate the help in identification of the parts and what I purchased. Sometimes buying from Craigslist will get interesting results. I posted this question on another forum and was told they were junk and to update to something else. Looks like I'll be switching them with the stock ones to try and A/B them.
  4. Would the individual have just known what to use and then built it? Gotten the wiring schematic and done it themselves or is there a kit? The guy was from Central Ohio, not sure if he happened to know someone. Glad to hear they are good components, I'll have to hook them up again and see what they can do. Thanks.
  5. I recently acquired a set of used KLF 20 speakers. While putting then into the car I hear a loud sound and realize the crossovers were in the bottom on the speaker not attached to anything. Upon further investigation, the crossovers are not stock since I have another set of 20's at home. I am not an electrical engineer, so I'm not sure if they are just a DIY job or from a reputable crossover builder. I would like to know if it is a DIY job, if they choose "good components" or if there is something I could change to make them better. I have only a limited time listening to the new speakers but they didn't sound bad when they were on. I removed the tweeters but the divers look to be stock other than the crossovers.

    They are having a warehouse sale right now. Got my mini x for $150 to the door. Sounds great with the Klfs.
  7. Are those lascala tops with bass bins? That would be an awesome movie theater on the side of a house or at a bonfire. Sounds like i can use this amp or just sell it and get some type of head unit. I have seen some with remotes that are inexpensive. Now to start craigslisting for parts. Thanks for the help!
  8. I was looking at a newegg ps that was 12 v at 26 amps. I would think since the speakers are efficient, that the demand would be low enough to get away with the lower amp rating. I do like the idea of a $10 trickle charger, battery, and head unit. I'll need to mull over keeping the amp or sellling it and using the money for the other idea. Thsnks for the quick response!
  9. I was cleaning out my basement and came across a JL Audio 300/4 amp. I have not permanently hooked up my AW 400 speakers other then to test them. My questions is, can I use a computer power supply to power the amp, hook that into the amp for power, and then power the AW400 speakers. The power supply and amp would be under the lanai and in something water proof. I would think the 75 watts the amp can provide would be plenty to make the speaker sing. Thanks
  10. 2nd Yellow foam that was stuffed behind the woofers
  11. I just recently purchased a set of KLF 20s and noticed one of the cabinets makes a rattle at louder levels. I took some pictures of 1X1 pieces of wood glued in the corners. The foam is different in both cabinets as one has yellow foam stuffed in it, and the other has grey foam that seems to have been placed and cut around. Second question has to do with the crossovers. Is it the stock crossover? Thanks for the help ahead of time, Chris pic brace behind the upper 10" woofer
  12. I went and looked at the KLF 20s today. They are black finish with a few dings and dents. The sides have a few marks were the black finish has rubbed off. The grills looked to be in good shape with all posts intact. They are asking $500 but she said that they are motivated to sell. I did knock on the sides and back to see if it was solid and everything seemed ok. The seller gave me a few funny looks while i was rapping on it to see if it was solid or coming apart. I was able to remove or adjust all the rear baffles. $500 seems a little steep for these but maybe they would be worth it if i was able to refinish them. Also she assured me that the drivers worked before they aquired the speakers.
  13. I am looking at a set of klf 20s and read that some of them have back delaminating issues. What years had this issue? How can i read the serial number to figure this out? Are there any other known issues i would need to know about before looking at these speakers? I am really excited that i get to finally see one of these speakers in person.
  14. I have 2 tc sounds lmsr 15s in about 3 cubic foot sealed each and it shakes the windows on the second floor. Oh and the system is in the basement. I have a velodyne sms for eq and an inuke 6000 to drive those hungry monsters. I used winisd and some help from another forum to get everything figured out. Good luck!
  15. I emailed the guy and asked if he would take $500. He only sent a quick reply saying it cost $1500 and that I was crazy to ask anything less. So guess he will sitting with that sub for a long time.
  16. A local craisglist ad for a rythmik fv15hp came up and i asked what price they wanted. The response was best offer. I have heard that they are almost as good as the svs ultra but less expensive. What is a good offer price for the rythmik sub? Also what is the reliability of them?
  17. That was my thoughts. I would like more down low but the price doesn't make me jump around. I was checking to see if maybe i was being silly but now i think i will negotiate or just pass this time around. I would love to find a tc sound 18" 5400 driver at a nice price and buid a sealed box for it. Stupid upgrade bug. :/
  18. There is an svs pb13 ultra within 4 hour drive for sale for $1000. I contacted the seller and the only "bad" things about the sub are 300+ hours and was made in2007.tHas there been any changes in the sub other then the new amp. Would there be a better option for that price? I could just be sad to part with my money but it iswithin my budget and i have been looking for something with more down low umph.
  19. Im looking at a used rotel rmb-1095 amp for my system and was wondering what to look for in a used amp. From what i have read, the amp is a beast and probably more then what i need to drive my system but the price seems good. My other question is, would the 1095 sound good or bad with the onkyo 709thx and the rf62ii set up?
  20. The driver is facing out and the radiator is facing the wall. I will try putting the driver to the wall and one of the radiators to the back wall tonight and see how it sounds. I would guess that the sub is 10" from both walls.
  21. I have the sw310 in the corner of the room with the gain 75% and the reciever +1. My reciever is an onkyo 709. I found a rolling Hz sound track and the the sub will fall off quickly around 25hz. It does sound good but it does not punch you like some of the larger subs can.

    Hello

    I will try moving the speakers around and see how they sound. Once I get those figured out I might start thinking about an amp for the system. As for the RC62ii, do you think there is someone who would trade the RC52ii for a RC62ii? Or an online dealer that would accept a trade? I could sell the RC52ii but I'm not sure what to sell it for since it came in a package.
