Has anyone compared the JEM crossover vs the unspoken name, or another?

How is it non Klipsch? It's a 30+ year old Klipsch speaker....that needs restoration. fixed the OP, happy now?

I'm going to tear into my tangent 500s. Should I just get new caps or xovers, since I'm in there? What are the benefits of either? Thanks

How do they sound? Wanted to do these in my RV, as they already have cutouts. And I spent a long time running new ofc through out. Was afraid of rattles, but home trusses are much better than RV.

You'd be surprised what you can fit into a 5th wheel, if you want to. I have klf 20s, tangent 500s, 15"sub and a bunch of surrounds in an RV. Like other say, you can have them do double duty as a table. Or in my case shelves.... Driving is a concern, but you are parking on land. This is my plan also. I'm only moving one more time. I'd keep them. But then again, I keep ALL of them!!

The ss1s supprised me on how big they sound. But the ss3s got me to love Klipschs. 30$ on CL for the pair. I powered the with a 15 watt China d amp. They filled an entire metal shop with wonderful clear sound. I was blown away.....thats when the addiction began. Had to leave them for a cross country move. Now trying to get em back..

Thanks 👍

So I just picked up a pair of ss1s. I thought I had these before..but I did not. The ss1s are smaller with a 5" woofer. The ones I had before were bigger with 6.5 black woofers. Same shape, 2 tweets 1 woofer. Any idea what model they were? thanks

Definitely doing the butyl. Losing cabinet volume is my biggest concern. While not ideal, it's just to get me by until I build new cabs. I have leaks and such, so I'm hoping it will be an overall improvement. If not I can take some material out.

Definitely wouldn't be cheaper or easier. Maybe if you have a wood shop. I'm doing it to get by until I have the time to make new cabs. and planning on doing the same treatment to new cabs. Everything but the dynomat is reusable and transferable.

I just got the dynomat knock off, Amazon brand. That seems even heavier and with thicker foil. Going to do the same with my 500s. but doing 30 percent coverage. Ripped out some MLV from my car since I don't commute nearly as far anymore. And MLV gets expensive. Going to do the back and front inside the cabinets, add wood bracing, and deaden the horns....replace caps or xover. Also may do an experiment with homemade MLV using yoga mat and foam flooring that I can get for free, from work. And ab the speakers. Probably will start a thread about it. Curious to what benefits you noticed from your efforts?

Nice, I need to do similar. If in the budget, get some mass loaded vinyl. Put that over the butyl. Put acoustic foam over the MLV You get much more dampening the more materials you put in them. As resonance doesn't transfer well between different materials. The MLV also has foam on it to decouple it from the other materials. Like an air gap in insulation. Maybe put some MLV on the horns also. Every so often, open box or blemished MLV is sold on Amazon for cheap. Once in the box you'll never see it.

Just giving a shout-out to something I've been using for years to download straight from YouTube, without commercials. It's called "easy YouTube video downloader" No affiliation. Also allows just mp3 at 256k and or MP4 and full video. I get the pro version for a donation of 5$ once a year. Works flawlessly. Cheers

LoL 680$???? Yeah....no. I paid less for my minty klf 20s. Thanks for looking for me though.

WTB klf c7. My klf 20s are lonely.
