billybob Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Posting this here because, laid back discuss. If better place, please move it mod., or even delete...lol! Speaking of mods. had a short conversation on the topic of Klipsch logoed caps for hot weather wear. Jist was Klipsch was looking at the issue. Have a Klipsch knockoff cap that has been noticed by pedestrians roundabout and has given me a chance to expound upon the virtues of Klipsch speakers. Mesh type in light or dark color would work. Just guessing they would get popular as, it gets hot even up north. Down here, well anymore it is hot most of the time. Am a hothead anyway so...nuff said. Thanks! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 23, 2018 Good question, not that i have an answer, or any help. But I did ask something about heat a few years ago. I was wondering about Pro speakers because I use some outside and thought heat would be a problem. Black speaker cabinets out in the sun all day, somewhat like you, it can be 98 degrees and with the sun beating down on black enclosed box I would guess the temperatures could get very high on the inside. Not just the crossovers but also diaphragms and other driver parts being pushed to the limit creating heat own their plus the suns added temperatures you would think it could cause problems. I was throwing a blanket over everything to at least block it from the sun. I asked and was told it's all considered when designing and the parts can take more heat then that. Now I don't know if that includes all speakers or just the bigger pro stuff ? I will be around roy in a week and i need to remember to ask, I use to regular AA crossovers like in a Khorn or LaScala in the yard speakers which sit in the sun at times, I need to ask again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wdecho Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Not to worry about the electronic parts, most have a much higher operating temperature than what they will see in the sun. Just checked an average film cap to be sure and it was rated at 105C which is 221 Fahrenheit. Not likely to see that high a temperature. But as anyone should know, plastic deteriorates with heat and if there is a phenolic membrane in a driver heat is going to be it's enemy. Good idea to at least keep the equipment covered when outdoors in sun until needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duh...............NO I didn't get that. He said caps and you know where my brain went and it was not headgear, sorry Billybob. Probably should have worn a cap, my brain has been overheated from the sun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was no joke, I misread the whole post, went right past me, I laughed when I later read it again after it was pointed out. OK I don't wear caps, at the most when I have to be out in the sun, a straw hat is used. I try to avoid the sun as instructed by my Dermatologist who just shakes her head when she sees me. . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, No joke, I was thinking well I am being too vague again. I had to reread your post again and then the gentleman's post after yours. At least I learned something, maybe, lol Sometimes I take off on a tangent... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Just wait until someone shows up here extolling the virtues of an active crossover...... Then DeanO will show up.... Then Craig.... Yeah, I was totally confused because I was thinking cap instead of cap and still didn't get it when you said you were a hot head.... I just figured you were admitting to having a temper (which I don't think I've ever noticed here so found that an interesting revelation) Where's MAS when you need him??? (oh yeah, I think he's moved to China.... unless he's back by now (true story as best I know)) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel Posted July 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 26, 2018 I'm not good at the cap thing, talked with this guy for a while at a bar in Mexico, later he lifts his cap and his hair it about 1/2" tall, the rest is part of the hat. Funny guy, he is the kind you want at a party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJK Sorry, I am an old RETIRED Airborne Infantryman, I either wear a brimmed BREATHABLE light-colored summer hat or a maroon beret...that Cav stuff is for sissies...besides, who actually wants to wear a BLACK Stetson in 100+ degree heat in the sun, anyway? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
