    Build a pair of my Quarter Pie Bass Horns, which are an MWM derivative. They use 40% less floor space, cost about $200 each (or less if you use MDF) and only give up 6 hz. on the bottom in doing so. Plus they are smoother.

    That would be a great option if I had the tools and abilities to build a horn

    I would love to try a smaller version mwm. I’m investigating a pair of JL Audio F212

    I have been keeping it at a moderate volume lately. But if and when the opportunity presents itself “I’m going to go Live” lol

    Klipsch KP 301ii fuses

    Ok so I just saw Dave's question on why I needed fuse information 

    Dave knows the story but I guess wants me to tell others. 

    I am new to the audio world and am learning weekly about the technical aspects. However I have been a veteran pro at going to live concerts since the 70's. I have seen a lot of the great classic rock groups. So as I increase my audio knowledge and equipment, I also try to reproduce the feeling of a live concert. So while my neighbor and I were working on this experiment using the 456's being pushed ( like a crowd of young 1974 rockers going into the entrance of the LA Forum for a Led Zeppelin concert) by a Parasound JC 2 preamp and 2 mono bridged Parasound A21 (750w @ 8 ohms) " which I just learned how to do a couple of weeks ago"  We were reaching incredible deafening heights of audio nirvana ( and preamp only at 40% , amps at 30% gain) playing Rainbow (Richie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio) 1976 Live Mistreated....... then both LF fuse blew...... Right in the middle of Richie's solo.... Bummed us out !  But quick thinking, grabbed the fuses out of the 301ii's and we kept going. I felt like a super hero.... Saving the day and all

    On Sunday after the alcohol wore off I felt like I should get some technical advice

    and like true SuperHeros JW, Dave and all you smart (know what's really going in audio guys) offer me (stupid guy, "but loads of fun")

    advice on how to keep me from destroying my system by offering sound advice. 

    Thanks, I love you guys

    I have a pair of KP 301ii and am looking for information as to the correct amp fuses. I also have a pair of KP 456 and the correct fuses for those are

    1.5 amp for the HF and 4 amp for the LF.  When I checked the fuses in the KP 301ii they were 20 amp, which I am confident is not correct. 

    Any help is appreciated
