Grizzog Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Like the title says, has anyone used their indoor Klipsch to hold a party outdoors? (Excluding La Scalas - those can definitely handle such duty) In theory, they wouldn't be too bad...perhaps a wider dispersion than ideal for outdoor use, but still could be used.

Coytee Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I know you said no LaScalas....but I couldn't help myself. Of course, then there was movie-night... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 has anyone used their indoor Klipsch to hold a party outdoors Most definitely. It aint a party till the police show up though! I never move my nice "indoor" speakers outside. For times when I want to get loud outside I'll use my patio mounted KPT-100's or get stupid with my garage KP-301-II's. Pretty much any of the industrial lines will get the job done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either means his weinie speakers or, when he has a weinie roast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzog Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 How about non-industrial? Forte? Chorus? ...or is this...heresy?? ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think the issue is how good do you want the sound? We reconfigured between the EV's, LaScala, MWM/LaScala, MWM/K402 by a punch of some buttons. Any of the speakers (EV's, LaScala) would work fine but they all sounded better with the more oomph that the MWM provided) I had some industrial Heresy's, I put on top of my Jubilee bass bins. They would work and sound "ok" outside but simply need more weight on the bottom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobK Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Sure, I had my KG4s outside on the deck, they play fine. I mean plastic speakers might be better in rain but they don't sound any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 ...heresy?? They work great with a sub. I have KP-250's that I've used with bass bins that fit the bill nicely as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Nope, only LaScalas. And when I get some of my landscaping done I want to do it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I put some KPT-200's and a BFM T-30 in an outdoor giant jukebox. Turned out pretty great for car shows... https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/152395-giant-jukebox-with-klipsch-speakers/page-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Twenty some years ago me and friend of mine DJ a party. It was a quite a large room. I brought my LaScala's and my Adcom's and my friend brought his Chorusii's powerd buy a big Carver....it was quite good till I blew one of my woofer's in my LaScala's.... Outside on my deck....KP-362's gets the job done..... MKP :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Richard has more outside to fill with sound than you do Carl On another note Richard, if I ever get all of these KP-600's up and running, maybe I'll have to bring 7 stacks down for movie night some time? Yep, that ought ta do it..... Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted February 9, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2016 Yes and they sound great outside. Heresy's in the tiki bar outside and a portable set of MWM's with diy split LaScala tops for the rest of the yard. The Hersey's alone just pointing out in the yard just didn't have enough bass, in the bar they are fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalcomfort Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Church asked me to do some music for a summer fest. I told them only if after everybody left, I could put a little "power" to them. They said sure the youth will love that. Took my cornwalls and a cd player with a 150 watt amp. Things went great until everybody left. I poured the power to them, everybody freaked out !! They said how can that much sound come out of that box. It was way loud, wish I would have had my db meter with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Any speaker with a rear port or passive radiator isn't going to do very well outdoors unless placed near a wall, or better yet, on a hard surface near the intersection of two walls (interior corner) so as to propagate the bass. LS or CW would be best bets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
