Rudy81 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 As far as the standard LaS is concerned, no need to cut anything. That is what makes this a great mod, IMO. You can return the speaker to stock in a few minutes. Once you have the bottom constructed, just remove the bottom dog house access and sit the speaker on the new ported bin. I don't know about the industrial LaS. BTW, welcome to the madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootshe Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Finally got around to veneering the bass reflex cabinets. Here's a few photos. I've added a small oak feature strip on the bottom of the cabinet. Here's a photo without the grilles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sootshe Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 And another...have also added an oak strip underneath the mid horn cabinet instead of the rubber feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootshe Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Have also completed the stands for the "Baby Cheeks" tweeters.....these flares really make Bobs tweeters shine...it's like a whole other ocatve on the top end! A lot cleaner & easier to distinguish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootshe Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Used 1/2 inch ply & cut out to the shape of the tweeter flare & bolted to this...then screwed through the ply & into the timber oak block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSamuel Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am a newbie to the forum, but have been consumed with vintage Klipsch heritage products for the past few months to the point that the little women thinks I need counseling. I've hauled a set of 83 Cornwalls, 83 Standard La Scalas, what I believe are early 80's Pro La Scalas and a pair of 85 Heresy II's into the house since spring, I think I have the bug. Bum, You've come to the right place. Play 2 of your favorite CDs and call Dr. Colter in the morning. p.s. Awesome looking project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambandfan Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Hello there, looking at building the bass boxes for below my 88's. got them all torn apart right now so why not? Anyways just wondering, I keep flip flpopping on wheter to do a tube port or one like the slots used on the cornwall motorboard. I though that I had seen somewhere where someone specified port dimensiond for the same size box used here, but with the rectangualar slots instead. For the life if me I cannot find it though, and yes I have been searching all week. I have the materials, if anyone can provide that info, or a link to the post I thought I saw that would be great. BTW thanks for the inspiration here. I wish I could hear them! -marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arash Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 out of curiosity, is there any measurement result of this ported LS? actually I'm building a pr of LS bins I just wanted to check if porting them has any advantage for now I think LS folded horn is designed to pronounce +50Hz frequencies. porting it will tune woofer down to 30-35hz range which horn shape is not designed to render! so porting LS will result in a LS with +ndb (maybe 20db) eq in 30hz which seems somehow odd. correct me if I'm wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMiRA Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Are the bay cheeks installed on a crites ct125? Or is that a different horn with his driver? If so which horn is it? Either way, what do they add to the sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 The driver that Bob uses is an Eminence APT50, mated to a horn he had built for a drop in replacement for the K77. I use the same driver on a 100x50 Eminence horn. The APT200 is a 90x90 horn. I like the one I am using, seems a lot smoother. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, what do they add to the sound? The original Crites CT 125,s I had where fitted to a "baby cheeks" clone. I can't remember what brand or type they were....try a google search for "baby cheeks horn flare"??? those horns opened up the top end considerably. I've since moved on to JBL 2404's.
