Wrench722 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I use my own DIY center and RB-10,s as front L/R presence, RS-7 for surround L/R, RB-35 for back L/R. Are the backs of the KHorns sealed off? (I have asked this before in another thread but don't recall the answer) What do mean by sealed off?

Marvel Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Wrench, that center looks really nice. Did you make a slot in the baffle the same as a LaScala? I don't remember ever reading about you building them, I must have gotten some sleep one night. How well does it work with the KHorns?

mustang guy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I really like the center speaker. That is the most clever center design I've seen for big heritage speakers. The flanking bass bins look a bit smaller than Lascalas. Are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang guy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks for the links. I can see they are not full sized LS bass bins. The driver is not a 15" either. Have you measured the frequency response? It looks like it would be in the 70Hz+ area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Wrench, I created a new thread for your center using full size bass bins. Go here Double bass bin LS for center. Very awesome thinking my friend! Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench722 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I mean that the sides are not sealed against a wall. Are they modified with backs attached? Only one side is on the wall and still sounds good. But with 2-RWS-15's and 2-JBL ES150P's I have enough bass for now.

Let me pick up my jaw from the floor... Since you made them, why not make backs for the sides that are not sealed off with a wall? I think horn-loaded bass sounds better than direct radiating bass of those subs. Plus, the bass bin handles up to 450Hz; no way the subs will do that or that an AVR will even let you set a crossover frequency that high.

(-: http://s981.photobucket.com/user/wrench722/library/H%20Horn I love the way the Khorns look in your gallery... Man those crossovers take up all the extra room you have too. I bet a lot of hard work went into making them too. Nice work!! Edited November 11, 2013 by ellisr63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench722 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I agree the bass sounds great from the Hhorns but it sounds better when coming off a full wall and not a make shift 3/4" wall. I am looking into building a 48" X 48" X 6" wall attached to back wall and floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
