Of course they would! Nod Nod wink wink. Put that sucker on the other side of a big tree and let it rip. Around here before the nanny state ruined things we used to get dynamite for stumps and have fun. Used to pack hollow base anvils with black powder and see who could launch one the highest. Today we settle for Tannerite and man am I glad I don't live in the city. Two pounds of that stuff is really attention getting and the grand kids just love it. I am their favorite Grandpa needless to say.

1" thick side wall filters mostly. They did go to these for a reason. But I understand doing the practical thing last when all those lovely electronic goodies are calling. I have been guilty of the same thing as recently as this week with drivers that did not work out.

UShip has not damaged one thing received here or sent from here. So far their record has been 100% for me. + cheaper.

Quick easy test. I have had two sets that did not need side braces. One was a one piece LSI with fiberglass and AL trim. The other had plywood that measured .77" thick as compared to the normal .7" thick stuff. It was visually thicker which drew my attention and also sounded good without having the mod done.

Apart from the howling side walls which is a far more egregious offender.

You will find that most La Scalas have sides that can really howl at volume and until you add mid braces all the other stuff is helpful but will not solve the problem. When I used to fix up La Scalas none would leave here without the sidewalls being fixed. Two little pieces of plywood and it is the cheapest and many times the single largest improvement I have personally seen.

No empty cabinets here and all I have are 4 single MWM's and two pair of 415/4LF bass bins. Those 3002's went a LONG time ago.

Oh worse then that he is running all 6 in bridge mode??? Should have read hie original comment more carefully before responding.

I don't think that since a multichannel amp should cover each channel up to a certain wattage per channel or as an aggregate output for all added together. I am wondering the larger draw channels are closing down from overheating. I have only had one amp that was multi channel and have never had much interest in them so kind of conjecture on my part.

I wonder if he is asking for too much power from his amp and it is shutting things down to preserve itself? First thing that came to my mind.

It's a free market and prices charged for events like this have long amazed me. A self inflicted wound caused by those who spend the money and never seem to care how much. The only way to stop this is to refuse to subsidize this and I find few complainers willing to do so. If you are not willing to cut the cable then be quiet and pay.

Only if you use tennis shoes laced with 14g zip cord.

ABSOLUTELY and I went to fork crimp connectors when I found poor or even loose female or compressed male banana plugs on either the wire end or terminal cup. Wires stuck in those compression banana plugs also seem to work loose. IIf you use those make sure there is a good snug fit and remember that you accidentally kick that wire once that may be enough to cause that loose connection. I know, no one ever does that, right?

I don't know a thing about MACs just thought it might be of interest to someone. I have my yummy and cheap Crown to keep me happy.

Of course not every shipment was bad. Way to many have been though.

Yeah Canada's postal is so screwed up it is unreal and expensive too. I have more trouble sending things to Canada then any other country that I have allowed to buy. Canadian customers have come real close twice to being cut off because their postal is so incompetent, destructive, slow and expensive.

The XLI800's are great amps and what I use for my system and speaker testing. There is no fan noise with these and capable of great fidelity.

La Scala Big Loud Speaker- Wife Abouta Leave

@babadono I won't say.

Curious to know what veneer was offered on La Scalas in 1988.

HA HA back to rookie school 101 for YOU Dean. No it is hysterically funny. As an aside here I don't remember reading of so many ways to complicate an AA crossover recap job in a long time.

Check to see if you have soldered lug K-55-V's on your mid horn.The markings on the back of those drivers sure look like you do and if so they are the best ones.

Well he did say WAF counted but yes, as you say, upgraditis strikes many of us. I ended up with pro gear and eventually a set of MCM 1900's because they take the same notes and give them life and authority smaller speakers can never achieve. Went through a ton of stuff before I made the Super MWM's because I had certain goals. Mainly I wanted to sit next to the 32' organ pipes for real and not just a wimpy imitation of them. I never heard the Heresy 4's but I did hear the CW 4's and I figure for a small box it will be as good as you can get. I have built two Super Heresy's and people always thought it was the big speakers playing when they came here to hear them. I have my big speakers in the shop where I get no complaints about size or volume and spend a fair amount of time out there. My wife is welcome to have her house without the big old speakers but then if she wants to spend time with me she often will find me in the shop where the music is and not the house where Fakebook is.
