Lexxington Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I'd like to build a pair of the La Scala II cabinets for personal use, if anyone could point me in the direction of the plans. Lexx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.4knee Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 LS II's are new Klipsch products. There are no official "DIY" plans released by Klipsch to my knowledge of any LS model. There are some unofficial "plans/drawings" out there but I do not think they are actual "Klipsch" plans. The closest you'll get is a set of "plans" for the standard LS. You'll need to modify them to account for the change 1 inch MDF bass bin walls on the LS II vs the 3/4 inch plywood on the originals.

sootshe Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Suggest you also put a brace in like this between the doghouse & the side walls. Instead of putting the brace in the LS2 they have made the side walls from 1 inch material to remove the resonance. I think it would be better to have both & I wish I had made mine that way. Good luck, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good putting a brace inside the doghouse....what you're trying to tame is the resonance of the side walls....so you can either build them with the braces or alternatively, leave the brace off and build them with thicker side walls.

Coytee Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If you build a LaScala, you might also look into replacing the K400/77 with the K510 and biamp them. The K510 is I believe, a 2 inch horn and will sound worlds better than the stock horns...AND, it will fit inside the top section! Do a search on JubeScala. Where are you located, are you in Lexington? If so, and if you are ever in the Knoxville area, I can give you a demo however, we'd be stuck using the larger horn since I don't have any 510's yet for my center LaScala.

Coytee, You are showing great restraint. Go ahead and tell what you would really recomend for someone building a horn system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacek Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Bracing the doghouse won't keep the outer horn wall from resonating. My idea was to make outer walls from 1'' ply, but also to stiffen doghouse (3/4 ply as originaly) with internal bracing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
