    "Need? That is a premature statement in my humble opinion." ....lol.. Well...for those of us stumbling aimless in the audiophile DYI landscape....fattening up the bass with some thick Monster Cable is about the best guys like me can do... pic of my actual crossover: https://www.flickr.com/photos/58668520@N00/14815857053/in/photostream/ Schematic of CW 2 xover: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=97469

    Quick crossover question... I need to upgrade the speaker wire used in the crossovers. I was thinking high gauge/strand count copper braided wire. Does anyone have any tips where I can find where to buy the supplies needed to to this?

    Thanks Mustang Guy! Just a quick question. Obviously you did the calculations based upon installing (2) ports per speaker? Do I have a (1) port per speaker installation option? Also, what is the difference between Flanged ports vs. straight ports. Do they have individual characteristics? -b

    OK , as promised here are the pics... The EXACT dimensions are: Inside dimensions: 16 5/16" wide x 28 5/16" high x 14 1/8" deep Outside Dimensions: 17 3/4" wide x 29 5/8" high x 15 11/16" deep https://www.flickr.com/photos/58668520@N00/15602679432/in/photostream/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/58668520@N00/15599176071/in/photostream/

    I'll post new hi-def pics tomorrow with exact inside as well as outside dimensions of the speaker box. re: Those slots you are referring to are actual cut-outs in the motor board to act as speaker ports. The other speaker has round holes (approx 2") as speaker ports. So both speakers have different shape ports. Yeah, I know it's lame...don't blame me...I didn't do it...I'm just trying to fix them! lol;) Once you get the pics you'll get more insight. The speakers do have a 2"x4" brace that runs front-to-back just above the woofer and below the mid horn connecting to the back wall of the speaker box.

    Thank you so much Mustang Guy, ClaudeJ1, Turbox, djk and William F. Gil McDermott! I'm a bit overwhelmed here technically. Basically here is my story. I inherited a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls that were re-sized into smaller cabs. I've attached a photo. See below As you can see there was no thought given to the original bass porting and the cabinet maker just eliminated it all together. As a result, these speakers lack bass response. In addition, these speakers are loaded with k-43's. I am not at technical when it comes to electronics or speaker design, though I have woodworking skills and could tackle blocking up these ports and re-designing an extended bass shelf port system of some sort. I just need the technical help found here on this forum to pull it off. I would gladly document the project in pics if someone would be willing to help me figure how to do it. Do I have any takers?

    I'm trying to calculate the proper speaker port diameter and length using a Klipsch K-43 woofer in a 14'x16"x28" speaker enclosure. Of course, I'd like to get the most amount of bass possible from the speaker enclosure and K-43 woofer. Does anyone know how to do this?

    OK, if I built them...Does anyone have the original specs on the boxes or know where I could find them so that I could duplicate them?

    Thanks Dean, Just curious, why does the K-33 deliver more bass? Do I need to replace more than the caps? Do the other crossover components go bad over time like the CAPS? Can someone point me to a diagram of my Cornwall 2 crossover and what function each component actually does and its impact on the sound? That would be helpful to newbies lke me... -b

    These crossovers look pretty beat. Not sure what quality or even if they are original. I inherited these speakers, so I know nothing about them. I'm looking to upgrade the crossovers in hope of improving the sound. These speakers sound harsh to me and not enough low-end. Any tips on what parts to use or any other solutions?

    Sorry guys: here are the components: Tweeter = K-79k (8544) Mid= K-57k (3545) Woofer= K43E - (67-8537) Does anyone know what the extra numbers mean?
