Quiet_Hollow Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Welcome to the forum. This is how the stock AL-3 is supposed to wired. *edit* Updated to a much more detailed photo, courtesy of eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoosKlipsch Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 hello Quiet_Hollow thanks for the pictures (and all the others too for the reply) I think I have miscommunicate about my problem and therefore I have add a picture what you see is the back of one of my Scala's you see that my cable that comes from the amplifier is connected to the LF input From that connector there is a wire (+ and -) that goes to the inputconnections on the crossover but on the HF connector you see a wire (+ and -) that is going to nothing its just hanging there without any function there are also no bridges between the HF and LF (I dont use bi amping or bi wiring) I think the wire without function was there for bi amping and think that i dont need this one at all I asume that when the wire from the HF is connected to the input from the crossover it is alright connected but I am not sure greeetings Koos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoosKlipsch Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Sorry somethings goning wrong this is the picture I mentioned greetings Koos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoosKlipsch Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 of course i mean in the last that the wire from the LF is connected tot te cross over not the HF ofcourse sorry for the mistake greetings Koos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoosKlipsch Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 of course i mean in my last post that the wire form the LF should only be connected tot the input of the cross over and the HF not at all what do you think Qieut_Hollow ?

Quiet_Hollow Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Koos, Please read here for instructions to post a picture: http://community.klipsch.com/forums/t/146759.aspx If your speakers are LSI Splits, your amp should be connected to the HF binding posts only. The HF binding posts are then wired to the input of the crossover. From the inside, the LF posts are wired to the "Woofer" terminals on the crossover, but on the outside the binding posts are then connected to the other LF binding posts on the bass bin.

KoosKlipsch Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hello Quiet_Hollow my LaScala is just connected from the LF to the input from the crossover the Cable that is connected to the HF is not connected this is the picture as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ahhhhhhhh [:|].....that is not a factory Klipsch-built La Scala. [*edit* It actually is a factory cabinet. [:$]] That's why the confusion. As it is shown in your picture, the connection is good [Y]. Just remove the loose wires from the HF binding posts. They are doing nothing. ...and just as a precaution, you may want to double-check that all the drivers are connected to the crossover using correct polarity.

KoosKlipsch Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hello Quiet_Hollow (and all others ofcourse) I have taken some other pictures I see marks on the back of the Klipsch company perhaps you can see if they are real or not here they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet_Hollow Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, that there is rare cab indeed! My apologies for the mistake, I've never seen one before.[] Looks as if some of the components may have been changed out?...I mean for a 2005?

Guest " " Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 the cabs are 2005...but it looks like the xovers and mid driver have been replaced. the 2005's have a k-55-x which is an alinco driver and the xovers are AK-4 which are circut board looking things...these look like they have al-3's. Also...the woofer connection is mounted at the rea rather than the middle horn section for the woofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
