justinsweber Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Sortly after getting the new to me La Scala Splits I was suffering froma a case of listener fatigue. I decided then to try a path less traveled to convert my La Scalas to 2way with Daves BFH (Big Fing Horn) and 2" drivers. I will be saving up for some B&C 85TNs and ALK AP12-400s.

Guest David H Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I think your 2 way Lascala will work out nicely. Might I recommend AP12-500. These would go nicely with Big Ben. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Will the stock K33s go up that high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Looking good Justin, let us know how you like the sound of those critters. Let "Me" know first, if your going to get rid of those old horns, I may have a need coming up to experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) So the crossover was situated right next to the magnet of the driver? Edited July 7, 2014 by DeanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Yes, the K-33 will do 500Hz. Edited July 7, 2014 by DeanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 So the crossover was situated right next to the magnet of the driver? Baaaaaaad. The crossover came from Bob, and was mounted in the same place as the old stock unit, horn Mag is 4" or 5" behind the end of the crossover. I know, Im the one who installed it. (when they were mine).

The angle is deceiving -- it looks like it would be sitting right next to it. AL-3? No wonder he had listening fatique. I once built a really nice pair of AK-3 networks -- I was pretty depressed after I loaded them up, considering the amount of money I had in them.

The Dude Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) I am curious if you go with the ap12-500 I have my eye on some of those, just haven't had the cash. Look forward to see what you have to think of them. Edited July 7, 2014 by duder1982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 The Ap12-500 is a 2nd order/2nd order network. Ive used 3x before with my cornscalas and really loved the clean sound... a bit less romantic than 1st order networks (Sorta your studio monitor with room filling sound). All unused parts K55M, K77 Sq Mag, K400, and crossovers are listed for sale now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've been running my Lascala at 500 hz for a little while, with an active network. It sounds pretty good, I have just been wanting to hear those particular networks. I just need to stiffen the side walls to tame the crazy buzz.
