Here is the console that I am working on. One of the pictures is of one of the speaker enclosures that the original speakers were in. One of the pictures shows the electronics that I am going to build in.

Discussion about how to do one from scratch:
That’s pretty cool. I will post pictures of mine if I have a chance tomorrow. It was my uncles and many of my earliest memories I have of him that console was there. I want to keep the exterior look the same but have all new electronics and interior.

Ok. Thank you for the advice (and the patience!). I blew out a couple of speakers trying to make this work. I just want to make sure that what I have set up will work well and sound good. I am running the speakers through a Fosi Audio DA2120C 240W Bluetooth amp that I am going to mount up top with a Fluance RT83 turntable that I am also building in.

by re-using the open back panel with ventilation holes , the 2 Klipsch 3650 in ceiling speakers at both ends of the console cannot produce sound in a sealed chamber , but more so , the way the console was originally intended to sound which is a more open sound
So are you saying that keeping them open and without the enclosure is the way to go then or are you saying to put them in the original enclosures and leave the insulation out?

You can edit the title. Depending on your browser, find 3 dots ... in upper right of your original post, click edit, you can change it.
Thank you.

the console is gonna sound like a full range open baffle speaker
Forgive my ignorance but is that the sound I should be looking for?

no , it's simply not neededas long as the seams of the console are glued ,and the rear of the console is sealed with a wood panel , versus the old masonite board , adding insulation can reduce the overall size of the enclosure
The seams are glued. The back is a thin board with quite a few vent holes in it.

That title should read “in ceiling speakers” not “deleting speakers”. Looks like auto correct got me.

without the insulation
Will the insulation make the speaker too hot?

I have gutted and am rebuilding the inside of a 1971 Sylvania stereo console. I want to use the Klipsch 3650 in ceiling speakers to replace the original speakers in the cabinet. The original speakers were in an enclosure (similar to a box but more formed) with insulation inside. My question is should I mount the Klipsch speakers in the enclosure with the insulation or mount them in the enclosure without the insulation or should I not put them in an enclosure?

I also would like opinions on the compatibility of the amp I have and the speakers. The amp is rated for 120Wx2 @ 4ohms (the amp is rates for 2-8 ohms). So my amp would equate to roughly 60W per speaker into 8ohms which is about 10W over the RMC continuous rating for the speaker. Will this cause me to have issues with the amp or the speakers or is this within working limits?
