Emile Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 OK; got a pair of KPT-904's and love them ... found another set on FleaBay ... just do not have enough room The bass bins (not sure ... KP-450's? ) of course are humongous. But they are "ported," so if I build a closed box for them it would be much smaller (and might fit "somewhere"). Am I crazy or just stupid? Haha ... appreciate your thoughts. Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGRF7 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 huge yes i see your point. I have 3 all together im trying to find a hf setup for my third now that will act as my center. Although i did think about what you are doing though. I have to wait and see what my bass response is first. But ill be following this thread if you got ideas lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe wrong but, if not a folded horn then, I say go for it in any case, as the mother of invention /discover thingy. Guess you could always get a sub, lol...more power to you...;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Always thinking of others, cool. No I realized did not explain what I think I know hardly. Know Others will be giving you some data.if you even need. Glad to having you going to places others have never been. Or, if having benefit of closely being there, at least you and lady will derive benefit of your good work. Keep cranking those tunes man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 Think the KPT-904 woofers (not sure of the type) probably were designed for a ported box ... making transfer to a closed box difficult ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use one woofer and reduce the box size and number of ports by approximately 1/2. miketn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you like for two channel Sorry; no clue what 406's are I've got the KPT-904's ... think the bass box is a KP-450 (not sure) and the horns are the 510's. Sound is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Bass is IMHO as good as LaScala's ... horns are much MUCH BETTER (think it is because of the 2 inch exit on a much bigger diaphragm). Using a pre-out from my AVR into a Marantz 222B for 2 channel sound. These horns are just awesome ... the 402 horns "might" be better, but they are too big and do not pass the wife test Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been with the RF7’s since they came out and never got into the pro line so this should be a treat! Mine will have the 506 horns if you remember those. Cant wait to audition! cheers Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
