Emile Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Would like to get some K-510 horns with the B&C drivers ... Have a set of KPT-904's and LOVE them ... primarily due to the K-510 horns. Looking at building a smaller set (similar to the KPT's but closed; not ported) to save some space. Found another set of KPT-904's (see my listing under "Garage Sale/Alerts), but too cheap to buy these as I believe (???) that I cannot use the woofers in a closed box. Don't need any brackets ... gave "mine" away to a member 6 months ago Also, (sorry) have no clue what they would be worth to me as I am just "experimenting." Many thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 bump Anyone know the "new price" on these? Thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Having never bought any new ones...I don't know. My understanding though is they're in the neighborhood of $750 each. This includes driver. The price might be way off base but the main point is, they're not $50 units 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess $1300 for a set of KPT-904's might be worth it ... just for the horns OK; I'm cheap ... will offer the KPT guy $500 for the horns and see what happens Cheers, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 @Coytee ... "personal" question ... think I'm crazy trying to reduce the size of the KPT-904 bins (KT-450???) by putting them in a sealed cabinet? Many thanks, Emile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I am utterly clueless as to that answer.... literally as in I have no clue. That said, I do think all of us on this forum are just a little crazy.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying those aren't decent, just not the same as a 510. I tried a lot of different horns. The k510 is one out of the two smaller horns i would use in a two way setup, the other is no longer available. I have a set of those cheaper horns mentioned in the past that i will be using in a speaker build, but only as i am stuck with them and have some free Peavey Black Windows that need a home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emile Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 OK; looks like I may have a pair in a little over a week. Want to try them just "by themselves." So to avoid blowing up the diaphragms I need a high pass crossover. Any suggestions on xover frequency and db slope? All I could find was a cheap 800Hz/12dB one at Parts-Express ... https://www.parts-express.com/parts-express-800-hz-high-pass-8-ohm-crossover--266-470 Many thanks, Emile add-on ... Or ... could use my minidsp and buy another cheap amp ... recommended xover and slope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
