chacal Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 Picked up a set of '99 K-horns and was wondering if it is the worth the effort & $$ to "update" the squawker and tweeter horns with earlier model (metal) versions?...and if so, which ones and how do I tell them apart? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 The '99 drivers have all been unchanged since 1982. The fiberglass squawker horn started well after 1982, but I've never heard when. I doubt you'd improve much going to the aluminum squawker horn. If I had them, I'd listen to them as is for about 6 months before changing a thing. Only make changes to address a shortcoming you hear. I have the metal horns in my La Scalas, but damping the tweeter and squawker horns would be first on my list (use rope caulk from Home Depot, it's in the weather sealing dept.), then I'd tightly stuff the HF cabinet with polyester fiberfil from Walmart. Then, make sure the seals between the bass horn and the corner are good and it sits tightly in the corner. Finally, look into Al Klappenberger's replacement crossover. Your's should have Type AK-3 xovers. They are said to sound a lot like Al's, so consider it last. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
