twalkonline Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Can somebody out there tell me if the sockets were factory-fitted by Klipsch? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tensleep Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 That depends on which cabinet they are in. I have a pair of KP301-B-Br in laquered blonde birch cabinets on short risers, no socket at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtnfoley Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 That depends on which cabinet they are in.

I found this here abouts, but since KP-301 info is somewhat lacking I figured it wouldn't hurt to re-post: http://community.klipsch.com/forums/storage/19/1908632/KP-301complete.pdf KP-301complete.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If you'd like to add a Pole mount socket to ANY speaker cabinet (make sure the mount will support the speaker's weight), here's an easy way to determine the center. Take a dowel rod (broom handle will work, put on a flat surface and balance the speaker on it, mark the point where the dowel touches the cabinet's bottom. Do likewise in the other direction. Flip speaker over, connect the lines - there is your center of gravity for mounting the pole socket so that weight will be evenly distributed. I like to use the metal cups from Parts Express. There are two standard sizes, 1 3/8 and 1 1/2, some stands come with an adapter and I try to use the larger size when possible, but make sure they mate up ok to your intended stands. I like to drill a hole exactly the size of the cup so it is supported by the 3/4 ply somewhat. DO NOT USE WOOD SCREWS they might pull out. Instead drill holes and use #10 flat head machine screws, flat and lock washers or nylon locking nuts on the inside of the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
