    Belle Bass section question

    in General Klipsch Info

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

     

    What was originally just an idea in my head, I did a little work on the design this morning over a coffee and wanted to throw this out there to get some more feedback. I have some un answered questions, however i think this might be the solution to my centre channel Blues. I kept the same angle for the horn throat which is 30 deg. however the horn extends further than the original. the horn length is a bit longer, which makes the mouth larger. it does however follow the same line as the Belle at 30 Deg.

     

    1. What are the dimension of the angled piece in the centre of the Belle Bottom. 2/14 by ??

    2. Because the horn length is a little longer, what effect with that have?

    3. Inside the doghouse, you can see that the magnets are quite close to each other, they will be within 1/4 of an inch of the one behind it. Will the magnets on the drivers affect each other?

     

    Yesterday, along with a few tweeks on my sub, i pulled my centre channel apart, I am currently using a La Scala bottom, 510, 703. it sounded fantastic. I thought this would closely resemble what i am trying to achieve with the Belle Bottom. 

     

    Thoughts? Should i change anything.

    Will flush cutting router bit work on LaScala?

    I think it might work. Its worth a try. im thinking the best thing might be to cut it as flush as possible using a circular saw. You coiuld either use a belt sander or the flush cut router. A hand plane or electric plane wont be any good. because of the ply wood grain, differences in each layer will take out chunks.

     

    edit: I wouldn't use a jig saw, I think I would clamp on another piece of wood to be used as a guide to run a circular saw. this will at least give you a straight  cut. 

    Bad Idea?

    If I remember correctly you don't want to coil your cable, it turns into an inductor with a magnetic field? I think you'd be better to cut your cables to length. Go easy on me if im incorrect, its been a long time...

    I learned something today then too. hdmi audio is better than optical. I currently run optical...until the next upgrade I guess...

     

    You guys are the best....

    Why wait... Just pull the optical cable and start using your HDMI cables... Unless you don't have HDMI..

     

    im using hdmi out to projector, but optical out to amp. amp doesn't have hdmi yet.
