Tony Whitlow Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 My Heritage LaScalas and Heresys are virtually indestructible. Sad to say not so my RC-3 and RSW-12. The tabs that hold the grills on are chincy. Two broke off on my RC-3 and one off on the RSW-12. There’s other ways be it Velcro or magnetic. The Colonel would never approve of these cheesy plastic pins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Traveler Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 What you say is true and why Klipsch stopped using them over a decade ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I also haven't heard the word "chincy" used in a sentence in over a decade... 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I guess I'm behind the times. I like the push in tabs into the rubber seats keeping the grille 1/2" away from the surface of the cabinet. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk For the custom grilles I created for my K-horn decorators and Cornwall I used large black flat head allen 1/4" screws into expandable rubber threaded inserts which of course you had to drill holes into the cabinets. I got them at Home Depot. JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windashine Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Dory who ? well, whomever, wasn't the lady who invented the drive-thru metal speaker cover with numerous holes, which I might add to the mystery, could of been someone with a comic sense for squirrels, considering it has carried over to the general public as a punching bag over static confirmations...

Tony Whitlow Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Wouldn't it be hunky dory if all speaker grilles had unbreakable mounts? The magnetic mounts are just peachy!I like the Velcro on my Heresys.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were some good speakers for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reminder, no doubt Klipsch build's the finest quality speaker systems.... the broken grill tab's may survive with just a frequent wipe of silicon. I veered off course last night, after driving up to a newly rebuilt drive-thru by my townhome, and noticed the new speaker box just had about 50 holes in a smooth round metal plate - some normal things seem void of the history behind them...
