twalkonline Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I have a couple of KP-201 that were cannibalized for parts. I was thinking about purchasing a couple of HIII upgrade kits. Will be using mostly for indoor recorded music playback, although they could see some light duty, live PA work. Has anyone else done this? Any reason I shouldn't? I've used standard Heresy's for PA and monitors for years. Any reason to expect HIII would be less durable? Should I incorporate a polyswitch as per the KP's? Would appreciate any comments, insight or similar experience. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Sounds like a fun project if you want to put metal mesh grills here is a email to Dane Lorenz spkrparts@prodigy.net he can make any size grill in fact he made several for me including for my KP 201's also you can get new corner protectors at Parts Express .65 cents each http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=260-708&FTR=260-708 you can also get fast blow fuses for the speakers. Here is the link to my KP-201 refurbish http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/118803.aspx?PageIndex=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'd never build a PA speaker with so lightweight of parts. Even the KP250 loaded a 200 watt woofer vs the KP201's standard 100 watt Heresy II woofer. If they're just for garage or occasional use you'll be ok though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twalkonline Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Of course at 99dB sensitivity, I'll be putting less power to them for a given output level. At least I have that going for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
