No, I stopped using them as their fees are ridiculous and I don't want to deal with the hassle of people scamming and claiming something doesn't work after they receive it. I still have my account there though. My account is troyteacher7.

These are the original K-52 drivers and horns from the KLF-20/30 speakers. They are in excellent condition. The original screws and gaskets are included. Garage audition available to verify correct functionality. Location 60511 far western burbs of Chicago Asking Price: $150

I have excellent condition OEM K-1036-E woofers. We all know these don't pop up very often! Original mounting screws and gaskets included. Located in the Western Burbs of Chicago 60511 $125 each or all 4 for $450 As always, garage audition welcome to verify correct functionality.

How much weight did you ad? Thanks.

Thanks. I saw that post when I was searching about a month ago.... but I really want to use the DE10. I don't mind pulling out the mid and maybe a woofer to get my meat hooks inside to do the mounting. I was also consider the mhal aluminum concoction that a member has for sale on the bay... but $200 for some aluminum horns with holes drilled in the right places on an adapter plate is a bit much.

Thanks! I like to keep it fresh!!! Well, I don't know how many pairs of speakers I purchased over the years where you have that annoying one random thing missing... like a port, a speaker foot or the jumper strips for the crossover!

Has anyone found a decent 2 bolt to 3 bolt adapted for a 2 bolt driver to mount to a 3 bolt horn? I'm looking at getting the B&C DE10 to replace my K-79-K tweeter in my KLF-20's. Would this work? https://www.parts-express.com/eminence-ha1-14-1-aluminum-horn-adapter--290-5624#lblReviews

I have 2 available. Excellent condition. Located in the Western suburbs of Chicago 60511. Make me an offer. (There are some listen on the bay for $29.95 + $4.65 shipping each.... which is ridiculous!)

I tried, all of the stores are out of it in the natural color as well as the light walnut. The only color they have remaining is the dark walnut. For the Fortes that I want to do, they would look the best with just the natural finish.

I have excellent condition ones for sale if you are still interested.

I have some for sale if you're still interested.

I have 4 k-1036-k woofers available if anyone is interested. I'm in the western suburbs of Chicago.

My answer- Heck Yes! The 30's are good speakers, but, like any speaker, when you are listening at lower volumes, there is a perceived lack of bass.... This is where the sub can really help. I use two subs with my RF-83's and they are rated to play from 29-21,000hz. Your KLF-30's are rated to play from 36-20,000hz, so in theory they won't play as low. Don't get me wrong, the KLF 30's have a great kick in the low end, but I think a nice sub (or two) will definitely help when set up correctly. Good luck enjoying the speakers!

Rush... one of my all time favorite bands! Those lights rock!!! I had one back in college...oh the memories that seeing your picture brought back! Nice KLF speakers. I had the KSW sub for a bit about 15 years ago and dumped it relatively quick. It's not musical at all. My suggestion is look for a better sub when the time is right.

That's not all that uncommon. Most "8 ohm" woofers aren't 8 ohms on the dot. I think my KLF-20 woofers measured around 6.7 ohms.

I'm looking for the oval logo for the RF-3 grill. I just need one. I know there's one on Ebay, but the guy has it priced way too expensive.

I like this video... it's where I learned all my dance moves!

I created new gaskets when I replaced the woofers on several klipsch speakers. It's on the thicker side, so you might want to be careful. Klipsch cheaps out and only uses 4 screws to mount their metal frame woofers...so there will be slight bending of the woofer frame with this thicker gasket. (If it was an aluminum frame, this wouldn't even be an issue.) This is what I used: https://www.parts-express.com/parts-express-speaker-gasketing-tape-1-8-x-3-8-x-50-ft-roll--260-540 Good luck.

Huh, these are still available.... that's odd! Now that Halloween is over, maybe he can dust off the festive cobwebs... but he won't be able to charge as much and sell them as, "Decorated for the holidays!"

Thanks. Yes, they were originally black. Every black speaker I acquire gets a finish upgrade! I Don't know why anyone would paint nice wood veneer black!

Not necessarily, Bag End did some interesting stuff with their 18" ELF sub series back in the day. I helped install 4 dual 18" cabinets in a dance club (total of 8 18" woofers in about a 16,000sqft area) with the ELF processor and powered by 4 Crown Macrotech 2400's and holy cow! After we had a decent break in period we went back to reset the levels and played around to see just how much it could do, and it was to the point where it hit so hard it made you feel not quite right! The low end was just crazy clean and surprisingly flat due to the ELF processor. I haven't followed what they are doing with this lately, but the idea was a step in the right direction. (Now, I know distortion is harder to hear at very low frequencies, but you can tell a decent signal from a distorted one by using the things on either side of your head!)

I do like those... they are much less hideous. And for some, that will be a great option. However, I think the whole idea of this thread was to have subwoofers that cosmetically match the Heritage line of speakers. I would still opt for a smaller swarm setup... http://www.audiokinesis.com/the-swarm-subwoofer-system-1.html

I understand the laws pretty well. Don't get your panties in a bunch! I'm not arguing that a horn loaded sub wouldn't sound awesome with very little distortion. I am saying that it's pointless because of the amount of space it takes up... it's not practical for almost everyone in a home setting.

Interesting read so far. Here's more fuel for the fire... It would be neat for Klipsch to build a cosmetically matching sub for the heritage line. I'm thinking several models, perhaps one with a 15" , a double 15" and one with an 18" . Direct radiating speakers in a rock solid cabinet! Then, you could decide if you want one or two...or more to match your needs. I would opt for an external dedicated sub amp/processor to match with the subs. Maybe something in the 500-1k watt amp range. This way you could add your own brand of amplification and processing if you so desire, making for an extremely flexible system that would appeal to the tinkerers! For those that swear they need a horn loaded sub...why? Horn loading for tweeters and maybe even mids are great if done right, but for a sub, it's antiquated. Sure, they are supper efficient, but they are huge, and not practical unless your room is the size of a small gym! Back in the day you needed the horn design to get concert level volumes because both amplifier design and actual driver design were nowhere near where they are today. So, you had to squeeze every little bit of efficiency out of a system you could. Now, we have amps with tons of power and driver designs that are leaps and bounds ahead of where we were when horns were being commonly used. Just look at your live concert sound. You used to have horn loaded sub scoops that held 2 15" drivers that were the size of a small car! Then, came along more powerful amps and better driver technology... Think EV MTL 4 concert subs and crown macrotech amps. You had 4 18" subs in a 3' by 3' by 3' enclosure that totally killed the sub scoop at a fraction of it's size. Much better for sound companies to haul around... and even for permanent installs. The last concert I went to used all line arrays.... no huge horn subs. Now, on to home use. Sure, you could build a horn loaded sub, but why? It's size would be ridiculous! (Not to mention it's size would be the equivalent of a guy in his 50's buying a vette....compensate much?) But I understand, to a point at least, dudes like to showcase their equipment... but when it takes up a whole 40ft wall, it's just tacky! I want something to look good too! Furthermore, the material and labor needed to build the enormous cabinet would be expensive. Therefore, a company would have to charge a lot more than a competitor whose direct radiating sub that puts out the same SPL and sound quality at a fraction of the size. Who do you think will sell more and stay in business? Thoughts?
