In need of: Eliptrac 400 Any one has the beautiful Fastlaners laying around....? ( Send yu pics when have them these Fastlaners finished.) Get them new direct from Fastlane As a kit or fully assembled Both options are a very reasonable price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscarsear Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Agree w/others............ these are very reasonably priced from the get-go-new. Finding resales for anything less will be a long wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul29 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Thank you all for advice.and .....Joessporster especially cause that is very useful information i needed. Wonder though... do most have them up to 18.000Hz or have up to say 14-16.000hz ... Tweeter Upgrade, replace tweeter lens with Eliptrac HF + B&C DE-10 or DE-120.

Full Range Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Thank you all for advice.and .....Joessporster especially cause that is very useful information i needed. Wonder though... do most have them up to 18.000Hz or have up to say 14-16.000hz and have a more of a (super) tweeter above... The mid range driver I use is the Great Plains 399 with my Eliptrac 400 - and they operate at a range of 500 htz to 15 kHz and the Tweeters are the JBL 2404H “Baby Cheeks” tweeters. ( They would probably be considered as super tweeters ) Wonderful combination just wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul29 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 Excellent ...thanks ..just right . Did not know Great Plains... at all so surprise to see them and live.. in action. Even much better to have them seperate on top of the bass... Even more excellent you placed the JBL' s time responsive backwards... If you let the picture shine.... i am gonna ask you the dimensions of the woofer compartment of this klipsch . The dimensions of the Great Plains should be on internet somewhere probably as well.

Paul29 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 A bit naughty i am.... i admit....can you place them with some music on youTube or send me a usb stick when you have time or can ..?. Just simple will do. Was thinking about the Fastlaners HF with a JBL driver but separate might even be much better cause music flow is not limited by side walls Just open and flowing. Going to all directions which makes them more time sensitive as little disadvantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bass cabinet is the standard 24" square However when the sides and back were doubled with a second piece of plywood that increased it to 25.5" Great Plains 399 specs - http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/downloads/399series.pdf As to my video capabilities I'm terrible at it - but will give it a go ( I think I have a Vimeo account ?) All I can offer for now is my system showcase thread -https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/149033-showcase-your-system/ Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul29 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) thanks a lot Full Range. I see that you kept the T2A as well. Prefer using the T2A far better then just a crossover with caps and resistors. Cannot see clearly the other components on the crossover boards but what i noticed in my st john's is the new T2A and the first 2,2 uF silver inoil - or copperinoil even better - had a very positive effect . Crossover with the Jupiter bee cap there which might do even greater . Edited May 14, 2014 by Paul29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul29 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Another way to test a crossover and or units for me is using Chamame music. Argentine Paragyuan country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjK__TGX3AM. Demanding on the high tones Edited May 14, 2014 by Paul29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used 2 ALK crossovers The Universal and Currently the Gentle slope AP12-600 + AP15-6000 Crossover Now while I'm using the AP12-600 + AP15-6000 Crossover the Universal has been stripped and repurposed with the any extra parts required to make this See thread and comment - https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/149952-alk-crossover-design-on-single-exposed-board/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
