Hi everbody: We're gonna be in a Parade in a few weeks and to save money on the sound system I was considering putting my La Sclala'a on the float and running them off a 150watt car stereo amp. Question, is there any concievable way this could damage the speakers? I dont see any reason why it would, and have run home speakers off car components without ill effect before but remember being warned about OHM levels, dont really remember why though. Any input is appreciated. S

Uhhhhh Colin Is Scaring me,,,,,,, To much information S

Thanks John. Merry Christmas All! S

Wow no one has downloaded them and offered them up for the forums perusal??? Well thanks for the point in the right direction but maybe I'll just dismantle one of my LS's and see if I can't figure it out on my own. How technical do these plans get, do they include info on what kind of response you can expect from different enclosure sizes or speaker choices. How much it will improve the bass over a regular ported enclosure? Maybe I'll just build a rack for the LS's and hook them up on the car fo parade day. Would running them off a car system harm them in anyway? Thanks again S.

Apparently some of you have built your own Khorns, where do you get the plans? How hard would it be to modify the size shpae etc of the basic idea for other uses? I've go this idea for a car we use for parades (OK so it's my daily driver) but need to know how flexible the horn design is,, If you can fold it cant you also bend it? Any input will be appreciated. S

Well Cool; I guess I'll just wait till I can get what I'll be happy with. The LS's are really impressive on their own, Man I love those speakers Sean

Thanks; My tuner is 100 watts a channel in surround mode but the volume control is insufficient to compensate for less effecient rears. I got lucky with my center channel, it's an Infinity SM1 should have just bought three of those and used them for surrounds, of course even at the great price I got that would have been another $300. I want Heresy's for surround but have no room (or Money) for them Do you really think the quintets wouldn't work? They say the sensitivty is 90db,,, of course I was thinking about saving up for some ss1's they are S,96db Maybe I should just wait till I get out of college and buy what I need when I get a job. thanks again

Hi all; Had a question about surrounds. I have a set of La Scalas and want to add surround but I cant find anything that will keep up with them. I'm on a budget, so I'm trying to stay under $150. Will a pair of the quintets work? I've tried a few different bookshelf speakers and you cant even hear them unless you turn off the LS's. Oh and if you want better bass response from you LS's take them somewhere you can crank them up then play your favorite music loud for about 5 or 6 hours, it seems to break them in. In my case I actually hauled them to a party in a park and had a 130 watt per channel amp at about half volume all afternoon, the party moved about 30 yards from them where the speakers where, the sound was incredible and at 200 yards there was this wonderfully crystal clear ambient effect. Anyway after putting them back in the house the bass was noticeably richer at lower volumes. It was so much better I have put off buying a sub for 10 years now. Thanks S.
