The Dude Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Someone on the Klipsch owner's Facebook page just modified their Belles with Volti horns. Maybe they have the originals for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 As a side note.....how does someone end up NOT having their horns? (custom build perhaps??) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it worked out with me....building a pair from scratch. It amazingly enough worked out that someone on here was selling some parts off because they were "updating" and I was able to get the horns and grills I needed. If I would have gone the 2-way 510 or Faital route, I would have had to hide them behind grills as I'm not a big fan of that horn just sitting on top. But that's just me. Too bad someone can't make a mold of a K-500 horn and make fiberglass replicas of them. In my younger car audio years I did tons of fiberglass fabrications for higher end installations in vehicles out in Tulsa but I'd be too slow to do that now. We'd build a "jig", then just make what we needed off of that mold. Would be tougher with these having a threaded throat to work with.

Would you mind sharing the details? If PM is preferred, please let me know. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 FYI for those considering the the K-510 route. The dimensions on the K-510 are 15in wide and 9 in tall and 5 in deep. Add a JBL 244X driver (which is only 5 in deep). If you go this route then an electronic crossover is recommended (Steeper crossover filtering, time alignment and simple compensation required for the CD horn). I think (need to check) these would allow the K-510 to fit in the Belle top section (of course the baffle would need to be re-worked).

No intrusion... You either need to find them used (probably easier to find a lavender poka-dotted Unicorn) You'd have to get them from a Cinema dealer, not necessarily your friendly local Klipsch dealer. It will be more expensive than the stock horn for the Belle.... but the scale of sound will put the old horn(s) to shame. Where do you live? (am also curious if 1066 has to do with some date or something......or might be tractor related (IH)?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oicu812 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 How about a set of K400 horns and drivers, going for $275 on eBay? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-K-Horn-Set-of-K-55-V-mid-range-drivers-attached-to-K-400-horns/143106651458?hash=item2151d23542:g:fN8AAOSwoRpcTkGZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestonTom Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Check the dimensions. I believe the K-400 is too deep for the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(am also curious if 1066 has to do with some date or something......or might be tractor related (IH)?) I'm from Alabama - I talked to you a while back on AK about 402s. That search led me to 510s and I haven't seen them for sale either. Just curious about it and where to get them. Anyway the search continues... 1066 for me is the Battle of Hastings. It was my first password for an old ATM card when I was a teenager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
