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.

Thanks, i completely forgot about that stuff. On Amazon, I can't seem to find a cherry for the pencil. But they have a marker in cherry. With better reviews. Have you ever used the marker? I'm thinking of trying the marker but if it doesn't work. The pencil should still stick? I do have some practice pieces to mess around with.

Anyone know how to take out scratches in cherry veneer? Or at least, make them less noticeable. My rc7 has a few and it's driving me 🥜. Can I lightly sand the whole thing and re stain them? Appreciate any good ideas!

This is always best money spent. Great speakers can sound like poop in a bad environment. And vice versa. Yes dome or cathedral ceilings sound much better. Had the pleasure of living in a dome home with thick Ferro cement roof and walls. The sound was amazing from two relatively mediocre speakers. You would swear that there were surrounds in there. How the sound would flow around, over, and get behind you. And since it was round, it didn't reflect. What I would do to have my current system in that house...

Nice looking cave you got there!

Yes this. But sell the 30s to me.😉

I may try some experiments with heat and a mold type press thingy. If that doesn't work....new driver!

The picture is up there☝️ I ended up getting it. I'm just going to replace the speaker. I can't see a good way to fix it. A vacuum isn't going to pop the cone, like it would the dust cover. It's worse than that picture shows.

I'm curious. Would it still be a good buy, if it needs a tweeter and or a replacement mid driver?

Good question. Will definitely look at that when I get there

I can't imagine how it wouldn't affect the sound. Whether or not my ears can hear the difference??? Guessing that's why the price is what it is.
