mizedog Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Hey all. I will eventually upgrade, but am stuck with ss1 surrounds for the time being. Due to space constraints in my dedicated theater room, I can't have a speaker sticking out from the wall. So, I'll be building an in-wall box for my ss1 surrounds this weekend and setting them basically flush with the wall. Questions: 1. Can I remove one tweeter without much change in impedence? 2. Will baffle step be an issue now? 3. Will I really regret losing the bibole tweeter set up (will direct surrounds be ok)? 4. Am I fooling myself because the stock bipole crossover won't support just one horn? If I need to keep both horns, I can build a 3d baffle that accomodates the stock angle in an inset fashion. Thanks for any advice you can give. I'm pushing the speakers with a 10 year old Denon AVR2800 (yeah, I know). Center is an sc1 (yeah, I know). I will be junking these as soon as possible for a better set up. I was also surprised at the cheap, soft plastic basket on the 5.25 woofer. Oh well, it was bottom of hte line in 2000.

CECAA850 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Before you go performing surgery, why don't you cover one of the offerding tweeters with cardboard (or whatever's handy) and block the sound to see how you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizedog Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 Good suggestion. I've already disassembed the speaker but I could put it back together and just leave one tweeter unplugged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
