michael hurd Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (help me!) 1/4" jack? X 2..... 1/4" jacks aren't designed to handle any amount of power. Speakon 4 pole would be the only connector I would install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I still want to see the graphs.... The main benefit, of course, is getting the mids n highs more to seated listening ear levels. And it is a HUGE improvement IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 "1/4" jacks aren't designed to handle any amount of power. Speakon 4 pole would be the only connector I would install." They also short out the amplifier when being plugged/un-plugged (or come part way out of the cabinet or amplifier), and when the fiber insulator in the tips (Switchcraft) cracks.

kg4guy Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 I had K-55-M's in the tops but they didn't fit the outside diameter was to big and the horn board bowed outward so I sold the M's and need to get a pair of K-55-V's and then I'll get it together .
