Willne1 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I just got a Denon X4000 with Audyssey XT32 and I would like to know if there is any way I could make my old in wall IW-100 speakers more diffuse without replacing them. That would be a lot of work buying new speakers and making a larger hole in the wall and repainting etc. Does anyone know of a mod I could make to the speakers I have now? They are high in the rear walls directly to the side in a 5.1 setup. Thanks in advance Willne1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 what avr did you move from? i would think audyssey would be top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 WOW! I was just reading the specs on the IW-100, and it goes down to 40 Hz at +-3db. Is that for real? I was going to recommend looking at the Reference RS-52 II, and just mounting over the old speaker hole, but they can't even come close to 40Hz.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You should not have to replace your IW 100's. I have the IW 200's that I plan to use as surrounds. They are good speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willne1 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Audyssey is great...it's just that now I get more from my speakers and it's a little bit too direct. I think the speakers themselves are fine and as far as I can tell Klipsch doesn't make anything in the same size. Mustang Guy, they do go pretty low my receiver set the xover at 40 hz after running Audyssey but I raised it to 80 right away. They were kicking pretty hard at 40 hz actually vibrating in the wall a little. I had to pop the covers off and tighten them down a little before I realised they were at 40 hz.
