minermark Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 The Montengator bass bin connection panel. A later 'white paper' from Jim Hunter corrected this 5 amp fuse argument stating that 'A K43 will successfully protect a 5 amp fuse'. A 4 amp is the correct value to use. Second time iv seen this input, mine does not look like this. I'll take a Pic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 How loud are you guys listening to your music?? I'm 56 and can still fashion a mean live mix - because I've protected my hearing religiously. Louder is NOT better in nearly every instance. Wise advice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2015 You guys with all your huge speakers, everyone knows they are only made for auditoriums and outdoors, and your using them inside................ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted September 5, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 5, 2015 If you plan on using these inside your house for music, I would suggest storing the three pairs of medium and high frequency boxes and just putting a K-69 / K-402 combo on top of your MWM doubles, it will sound a lot better, better than Jubilees. The way I word it is, they will crush the Jubilee. Crush might be a little strong.........unless your talking about what's under them ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish to hear these as intended, then i have a reasonable reference to go by when "Improving" with possible K-69 / K-402 combo. I will, after assembled, hold off on purchasing another electronic crossover, i may not need anymore than i have if i go w/402 setup. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sir, here is the room before the Tv and stand was changed. (and it was cleaned up) Where did you get your 402s ? and what is the market value? I got them years ago from a forum member JWC, I got them from him with a Ev DX38, so I don't know what the price is for just the 402/K69 is. At one time If I remember correctly from reading here they were 1K each new, but this was in 2009. The problem is it's really rare to find just the 402 for sale used, I am not sure you can even buy just the horn/driver like that but that could be wrong ? Others would know better, I don't keep up with that stuff since I didn't need them, I just got really lucky thanks to a member selling them, JWC really did me a big favor at a great price, but that's how he is. When he first asked me if I wanted to buy them in a PM I said I had to talk with my wife, he came back and said he decided to keep them which was cool, I didn't blame him. Little did I know my wife contacted him and told him we really did want them without me knowing, him keeping them was just made up, and she ended up giving them to me for our anniversary present.

minermark Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Well i'll just leave the word out here in speaker land for a pair of the 402/K69s. Cannot/willnot commit to a buy untill these critters are in here and pizzing off a neighbor or two. I look at this project as to getting what iv always wanted, FINELY, and that is an "Upgrade". Next "Upgrade" will be the 402/K69 combo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 holy christmas - I'll need a house about 16 times bigger for those babies! Right now, all i'd here is the big speaker cones near the bottom! These EAWs sound just fine in a standard Garage/Cave according the the neighbors. Im sure the MCMs will do their job as well. Room, now there is the Bi otch, the MCMs will add a footprint, a foot and a half more at the base. Easy Fix......Just extend your Cave 2 foot....Im sure the neighbors would pitch in and Help :lol: :lol: We extended ours 5'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to buy the complete Jubilee setup all at once. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) As these MCMs get finished, they come into the cave to replace the EAW stacks. Your next step will be Danley Synergy horns. One step at a time. My original intent was to have better sound than Khorns on a budget, which I did in the used Pro Equipment market. I went from a 7 foot stack to a 5 foot stack when I got K-402's on top a a Quarter Pie of my own design, derived from MWM woofers. Then I was spoiled but forced to further reduce size in my recent move without reducing performance, which led me to the present system. I didn't realize it would also be a further improvement in the process of shrinking horns. Most recent lesson is: Acoustic problems should be fixed acoustically, so the room will be my next improvement in my next domicile.
