Dave A Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So I inquire about some custom built La Scalas with the claim of much lower bass. Since I am thinking of building a set sometime I am always interested in possibilities. Here is the modification claimed to work. " The top section of the speaker is opened up to the "doghouse" with a plate closing up the back which is normally open, with 2 port tubes facing the rear tuned to 30 Hz. This makes the ported section invisible as far as the appearance." Now I know La Scala mods have been beat to death many times over but this is a new one for me. Anyone familiar with this modification to know if it is even possible to do what the claims state? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff. Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am using google and have a page of links... The Russians have hacked your device. I can never find a link using the Klipsch Community search at the top right of this screen though. What are we doing wrong (try and keep it related to “searching” LOL!)?

mike stehr Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 When you get to the search bar in the upper right hand corner, right click and select "all content". Then type in ported LaScala. I got 96 hits off the forums search bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave A Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 Sorry I have been busy today. Yes I found lots of stuff on ported La Scalas per your suggestion. I was typing in garbage and getting garbage back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlson3 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 here's a rough sim - the lower one is the common K33E - besides some gain in the low end, boost can be applied at tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full Range Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 At the risk of getting some negative troll like feedback from a member that can’t help himself ( going on past performance ) I have heard good results with the above bass mod in the above posts But I have the other bass reflex version of a La Scala modification Its the one that has a seperate lower section cabinet Your question is - Does the bass box cabinet increase bass performance in the lower register The answer is yes However you need to also strengthen the sides of the dog box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djk Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 " with 2 port tubes facing the rear tuned to 30 Hz. " Experience has shown that for the K33E 35hz works better, two 4" ID about 7" long (a bit linger if using flared ports) I also use 6th order EQ, an EV Interface A (or similar) device. Virtually any EQ device with a low filter (high-pass, subsonic, infra-sonic, etc.) will work, only needing a couple of resistors to be changed.
