Klipschguy Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 It is my understand the new Cornwalls have the woofer mounted 6" higher on the motor board to help reduced the cabinets' standing wave issue. Has anybody here made a new motor board for older Cornwalls to locate the woofer 6" higher? I am not sure if the motor boards are screwed on or glued on (glued would probably be pretty difficult to remove). If motor board removal was not too difficult, it might be a worthwhile modification.

Budman Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 i removed the motorboard on a set of 74 verticals and you have to remove the 17 screws and its got glue or chaulk across the motorboard where it meets the lower shelf. a few raps with a rubber mallet and it fell right out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boom3 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The CW cabs are the easiest to make of all the Heritage line (with the exception of the Heresies, of course). Rather than modify and possibly damage existing cabs, I suggest you just make new ones. The plans have been posted on the forum many times. I have a pair of 1986 CW IIs that have cab damage from poor packaging in shipment. One day, I will have (or I will make) new cabs, and put the woofer to the new height on the motorboard.

If you're going to go through the trouble of making / changing the motorboard it may be worth while to look into some CornScala options at the same time, larger mid horn would likely be a bigger improvement over changing the woofer location IMO just a thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipschguy Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 You all are right; it does not make a whole lot of sense to tear into a good pair of speakers (really, they are not that difficult to make). BTW, that is the first time I have seen a 2-way version of the Cornwall - impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
