bryan2 Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Just this morning while listening to some music, I heard some annoying sound coming from my KSW-12 sub. I found out that the sub was full (I mean FULL) of small plastic toys of my 2 year-old boy. My wife finally was able to remove all the lego cubes inside. Has anybody have any idea to somehow kid-proof the subwoofer other than hanging it over the ceiling?

chickey Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I'd be interested as well. This is a good topic...Klipsch and kids. My 6 month old looks like she's going to start crawling any day now. How do I keep her out of my audio equipment and speakers (as well as insure that she doesn't hurt herself)? I'm betting there are some Klipsch parents out there that could offer some friendly advice to a new dad. Thanks, C ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BobG Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I remember taking care of a woman who was irate that the vcr I sold her was not working. Upon opening the unit, we found several plastic army men, a few coins and a small box of raisins. Without these added parts, the vcr worked as new. On the kid proof sub, I suggest taking a piece of metal cloth - the woven wire stuff with about 1/4" holes in it (like fine gauge chicken wire) and making a piece that fits the port. This will keep small hands and extraneous objects out but will not interfere with performance. How to deal with drunken roommates is one I've never solved. There's big bucks in that as most people claim their drunken roommate broke their hi-fi. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike stehr Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I remember being at a Afterhours party once. This guy was a jerk, stay away from my stereo, don't touch it, Boo hoo hoo. Why did he invite 50 drunk people after bar rush, if he was so concerned about his stereo? He ended up insulting my buddy and I, after we asked him(nicely)to play some decent music or the radio. So, when he as roaming around being the life of the party, we went ahead and scraped all the aluminum layers off his CD's with our car keys when he wasn't looking. We ruined about 25 of them. Keep that in mind when you invite drunken folks to your place from a bar afterhours. I'm sure he learned his lesson. But,Kids will be Kids, you gotta love 'em for that. At least he hasn't poked out the dust caps yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forresthump Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I think the joke is on Mike S cause there's a difference between being a drunk and a major as$hole. The moral of his story is don't invite as$holes like him to your parties. ------------------ go forth & hump the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrentMann Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I have an M&K sub and a pair of RF-3's on the floor. My boys never bothered with the port's on the back, but when they were roughly a year old, they enjoyed pulling the grills off the sub (it has a grill much like the RF-3) and the RF-3's. I bought some heavy black yarn, and tied it around the bottom, snug enough to not allow them to be pulled off, but not tight enought to damage the grill. It held up rather well. BTW, kids can be trained, my boys are now 3 and tell everyone 'don't hurt daddy's speakers'... ------------------ Current HT Setup: RF-3's front RC-3 center RS-3's surround M&K V-1250 sub Integra 8.2 receiver Mitsubishi 50" Pioneer C-503 dvd-player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montigue Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I remember a few years ago when my daughter was only 2. I noticed my cd's were coming up missing one after another. I looked everywhere but couldnt find them. Then about a year later I decided to upgrade a drive on my computer. When I opened it up I found about 25 cd's inside the computer She was trying to play them on the computer but just couldnt find the right place to put them....hehehehe Darn wippersnappers!!!

JCturboT Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I feel your plight guys,as the father to a 17 month old I do all I can to keep her away from Dads Stereo.She just loves to change the cds in the 5 disc changer-must give her a sense of power!(maybe thats why I'm into this hobby) Tom, Speaking of those Yamaha NS1000m-did you ever have a chance to hear them?I had a chance recently to purchase a pair with a Yamaha CR2040 receiver for around $300.00.Suppose to be one of the best kept speaker secrets around.

TheEAR Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 bryan2, Well Bryan its quite easy,go to the Rat Shack or any parts store and get a 5" grill to cover the port and a 12" one if you want to protect the woofer cone under the cabinet(in case the smurf tries to see what makes the sound and see how resistant it is). AT least get a 5-6" grill to cover the port,you dont have to use any screws to hold it in place.Just use hot glue.If One day you want to sell the sub you can peel the hot glue off and remove the grill. The mod will cost you under $10 and prevent any driver damage.Well worth it. Good luck One a side nore SVS subs are quite well protected,they can serve as cat scratch posts and the driver sits on the bottom and the top vents are covered with a grill!Great design,very practical.

forresthump Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I am not only the BS cop here as Earwax knows full well but too the ethics minister. Sorry but I've had too many punks like Mike come to my parties over the years and vandalize or rip off stuff. Even if the host is a major *** that doesnt justify it. Sure mike has said his 10 hail marys but the guilt is obvious still on his mind. This isnt a confessional though. Enough said. ------------------ go forth & hump the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 ForrestLump, I have an upgrade for you Forrest,why dont you buy some ties and ask your mom to tie your hands behind your back so you cant type. If you continue this way I will have to call your dad and tell him to disconect the internet. TheEAR(s) Now theears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
