Oh boy what pain that debate that was! A few commie/socialists arguing over who can spend more money, create more government programs and further tie up more money in bureaucracy while raising taxes on US to pay for it all. What a sick joke.

Am I mistaken, or isn't this thing worth some serious money? https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/atq/5193940835.html

Too cool man. Great job.

Not really a dynaco at this point but holly crap, 180W RMS tube love!

Do any of you have experience with the KLF-30's? I'm thinking the dual 12" & dual horn might be what I'm looking for but would like to hear your thoughts and comparisons with other speakers.

Very nice setup. But since you're being a jerk, fix the left pot on your c2500 and you wont have to hang the weight on it so it doesn't sound like shiat. While you're at it, straighten out the top of your lava lamp.

you voted for that?

it's good to see you stepping outside your 'box' per se and taking on this DIY project Derrick. Thanks for all of the updates, w/pics. Can't wait to see how this thing compares to yer previous sub.

I'm looking forward to it. We need the rain so bad here in California.

Decent price man. Good luck with your sale.

Yeah, not too worried about it. It sounds great for music. I just turn it down a bit for movies to keep the chuffing down. Thanks for the knowledge.

very good explanation CECAA850. Thank you. I didn't think that Klipsch would have released a sub that sounded like this. Fortunately, I haven't heard any clacking at all. The excursion doesn't look to be too much either, apparently it doesn't take much to move a lot of air.

Absolutely.

I wouldn't know, the amp was blown when I got it. the port exits the enclosure through the bottom front, below the forward facing driver. It is a large oval at the exit, reducing port diameter as it extends diagonally up into the enclosure. I watched another movie last night at moderate volume levels and it makes the sound pretty consistently across lower frequencies. It really seems to be a fluttering sound the air is making as it squeezes through the narrower port opening inside the box.

From what I gather the chuffing is inherent of the design of the tapered oval shaped port.?

Chuffing huh? That's a new one for me. So, from what I gather there isn't much I can do about it besides turn it down?

I ran Audessy and got it all setup. Then the wifey and I sat and watched the movie Lucy. She actually enjoyed having the sub running. I kept it loud enough throughout the movie that she actually stayed awake for the whole thing, which is rare. One thing I did notice with this sub though, The port is very noisey at some frequencies when it is turned up. It produces a very audible "whooshing" noise through it.

And the finished product:

So I decided to use the old amp plate as the adapter to make it fit right. I couldn't find the jigsaw in the shop so I used a cut-off wheel on a 4" grinder. A little rough, but you'll never see it.

Well, I was finally able to order a replacement amp. I went with the Bash 300s as suggested. After checking the fit, the width is perfect, but it needs some work.

"To splee, or not to splee, that is the question"

Have fun bro. Just remember: measure twice, cut once. Looking forward to the pics of your progress.

That thing is sweet lookin' Max, great job! My first motorcycle was a 3 wheeler. Pops bought a new 200x and a 200m for the family back in '84. I have so many great memories spending vacations riding in places like Pismo Beach. Yeah, the things were dangerous, I had my share of wrecks, but I could ride ANYTHING after learning on those death traps.

Great deal! Good luck with the sale.
