djk Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 A stacked pair (as shown above) may be crossed at 150hz, I would cross a single at 250hz or so, the A7 horn-loading cuts off below about 160hz or so. The throat is about 2:1, I have another design out of 12mm Baltic that is double height and a 3:1 throat with a 30W x 40H mouth, x 24D. My original double 12 sounded the best, but was a bit too large at 48W x 35H x 24D, and 2:1 I generally cross over at about 1.2Khz or so to the HP640. The system is mechanically time-aligned, no aparent apex issues, and an analog crossover works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Networks for the JBL's ,Notice the stock Klipsch wires going to the JBL 2404 Here they are in place probably move them in the house in a few weeks . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Yeah, you got it bad man. What's behind the big JBL horns? I have a pair of those getting no use from them. Might mate them up with some single JBL 18" bass reflex boxes and sell as a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Mike I'm using EV DH1-A's on the JBL 2360A's sound real nice I had 2445J's and honestly I hear no difference in the sound quality and I picked these up for $100 pr. mint condition so that was a no brainer.Those JBL 18's with the JBL 2360A horns with the 2445J's or EV DH1-A's could be alot of fun no sure what cabinet would work best I'm sure djk would know .

kg4guy Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Fun stuff I must say that testing the A7's next to the MWM setup is unfair for the A7's as the MWM's with the Peavey MB-2 and the JBL 2360A horn with EV driver tri-amped with the Ashly Protea 3.6SP processor is just amazing crystal clear punch it's as if you were in front of the band performing the track. I plan to build some La scala bass bins with some 1" Arauco plywood on the sides, top, bottom and back and use top grade 3/4" baltic birch on the doghouse probably make the doghouse a little wider to accommodate Bob Crites cast woofers.

Panacea Engineering Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Kg4, Have you ever used Arauco for any projects before? It is NOT cabinet grade material at all, has a tendency to bow and will need to be veneered. It also has a tendency to de-laminateand and has a lot of voids in it. If you just HAVE to use it, be sure to check the edges for de-lamination. You would be much better off using double layer 19mm Baltic for the outer cabinet. Will yield 38mm of thickness, which is substantial. Sometimes...Cheap IS CHEAP....! W. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 No I haven't and thank you I have seen it at the lumber yard and thought the 1" thick material would be nice also is there different grade's of the Arauco as I have come across some Baltic that was not good as well?

Panacea Engineering Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Does anybody have a source for the original Red and Black Stripped speaker wire that Klipsch used? Just curious, as I have tried to search for it, to no avail....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacea Engineering Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Never seen a bad sheet of Baltic but I order it in 20 sheet bundles of 5' x 5' - 19mm. Have NO idea what is available at Lowes or the Depot...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panacea Engineering Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 You got a Link for that as I am not finding IT in the search engine.....I am SURE that I am missing something...! W. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 You will probably need to buy it from a car stereo dealer. I used to buy as a dealer from a place in Ohio called the Wholesale House. http://www.twhouse.com/ They could probably refer you to a dealer that could have it drop shipped to you.

Panacea Engineering Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I sent them an email requesting a source for the wire., we will see what happens There was no information on the web for that stock number or even the name Excalibur Wire. It may not be available anymore. Thanks for the link, W. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest " " Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 That's a great update....there was a pair of empties for sale locally for 250 ...I was on the fence about buying them....4 hrs drive was the main issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Not a bad price I paid $350 for my cabinets another $130. for the 511B's and $20 for new side logos I had everything else . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg4guy Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 I decided to get ride of the old grey cloth in the ports and put new Black Klipsch grill cloth from Bob Crites also added some internal bracing and some more acoustic foam this made a big difference the bass is much tighter before the cabinets rattled like a old jalopy .[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
