Breck Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Need a single K-52 driver and horn for KLF-30 rebuild. Came across a set of 30's for the right price so I decided to attempt a ground up re- design in an attempt to finally squeeze from this speaker the bass it SHOULD be producing. Although I currently own a pair of KLF 20's and a pair of KLF 30's (love these monsters) I would rather not pull a driver from either for this rebuild. Planning to reinforce cabinet to the tune of 1.5" mdf with all the proper dampening, insulation, bracing, etc. Cabinet re-tune, correct those useless ports, and in all likelihood will try a non-crites crossover custom built by Norman Cerveny Pro Audio. Will refinish the outer cabinet as well. Anyway one of these new old 30's as purchased contained a Selenium mid driver attached to a cracked horn. Certainly not complaining with regards to the Selenium squawker but I have a set of Ti's I would like use. Will trade the Selenium if necessary. Although a KLF 30 rebuild is fairly standard these days I am fairly anxious haven't done one in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Planning to reinforce cabinet to the tune of 1.5" mdf with all the proper dampening, insulation, bracing, etc. Reinforce, how? Do you mean building a box-in-a-box? If you are wanting to do a stringer, I might suggest using a hardwood. MDF is really just sawdust and not a good material for a making a strengthening spine.

Breck, I have all that you requested and as long as you're somewhere in the 50 states, the price will be right. send me a PM and we can "talk" Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box in a box with bracing. Gonna apply new veneer as well with a couple of coats of lacquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
