Ive been wanting to meet Jim for a while, and check out his Klipsch mancave of speakers. I've also been wanting to go to St Louis for a baseball game. Does anybody know if La Scalas will fit in a GMC Acadia? I have my trusty GMC full size truck, but then weather might be a concern. According to the Klipsch spec sheet the La Scala dimensions are: Height: 35 1/2" Width: 23 3/4" Depth: 24 1/2" I'll be driving a 1/2 ton Dodge Ram with a fiberglass shell on the back. It stays dry in the rain. It rained on me when I brought my Cornwalls home, and they stayed dry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit in a Ford Edge (188 x 76 x 69). They should fit in an Acadia (194 x 75 x 66). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 My sister said Jim was nice. But then ... ummmm, you will get to meet her. Kid is playing with Nana. We had breakfast. Made a little special today. FrenchToast w/Whipped Cream and strawberries. She ate 2 slices. The wife was looking at me like what the?... She just ate hers and mine... I know better. She will eat adult size portions. You should see her go after spaghetti. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I love my eccentric sister, but she was banned from the bus system in Lansing, MI. Buses cater to the eccentric, but even they have limits. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Is there a preferred direction or side to lay them on? I see the cardboard, would that be better than blankets or packing material? I thought about using pillows or blankets to lock them into place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 @Ceptorman Those are on their faces, due to the wing nuts attaching the bass bin mod ports. The tops are to the left. When traveling upright isn’t possible, I’d want them on their faces, even without the back ports. On their sides would be my last choice, which in this case was precluded by the handles. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only weekend that seems to work for you guys is May 4-6 if @Ceptorman wants to work in a Cardinals game. Chances are good I will be traveling down I-44 that weekend from St. Louis on my way to Lake of the Ozarks. I may be able to take a leg of the journey. If you get them to me sometime early Friday the 4th, I can get them as far as Lebanon (not sure how far west on 44 you needed). Just giving you options. Everybody needs La Scalas. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the baseball game works, that would be great, but if not, that's ok also. I don't want to risk not hooking up with someone just for a ball game. I was also hoping to pick them up at the Chicagoland meeting, but I don't think a date has been set. 2 hours ago, DizRotus said: @Ceptorman Those are on their faces, due to the wing nuts attaching the bass bin mod ports.

I would like to securely wedge them in for safety, don't want them wandering around the back seat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my sister's. @Ceptorman , @Opus I still can't believe you guys are doing this for me ... even if it doesn't pan out and the connection don't happen. just the effort. thanks so much So far, we have me picking them up from your sister, bringing then to St Louis to hand them off to @MookieStl who will hand them off to @Opus who can get them to Hope on May 17th? Any leads from Hope going west? Will you still try this even if you don't a connection going west? Can they sit somewhere? I have been trying to get to the Pilgrimage for the last two years, but haven't yet. There's a chance I might make it this year, but I'm not sure yet. I started a new job last week, but I can take a day off if I need to. So there's a chance I can bring them to the Pilgrimage, but I can get them to St Louis pretty easy, it's only 4 hours away. Just trying to figure it out 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Morning. 1/2 pot of coffee down. Almost approachable. Been up since 2:30. Hope is around half way. Unfortunately, I don't have any people in TX beside the folks I've met here. ElPaso/LasCruces NM is about as good as I can do. My friend in LC ... I'm thinking his boy is in Houston.... That going the wrong direction. Anyone from SoCal headed to the pilgrimage? If it doesn't happen ... thnx Plan A involved me driving a rented KIA Soul the r/t. Tucson - IN - NC - IN and home Assuming everything will fit in the KIA. and my being able 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
