Emile Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Just sold my extra pair. With flanges 15x9'; hole I cut in a cabinet was 13 1/4 x 7 1/4 inch. Depth (from memory) about 6 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babadono Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 @Emile should we tell the OP not to cut anything until he's got the 510s in hand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestonTom Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 You Guys are doing the OP a disservice. He asked a simple question. I have a current version of the K-510 horn (the one currently sold and having the "mumps"). At the mouth the thickness of the material is 1/4 inch, The outside width is just shy of 15 inches. The outside height is just shy of 9 inches. The width from the center of the hole to the other hole center is 14 1/4 inches in width (the holes are near the end of the "flare"). The height from the center of the holes is 8 1/4 inches. (vertical holes are about a little over 5/8 inch from the center of the hole to about where the flare ends) The depth (from the face of the mouth to the back of the throat is 5 inches). I hope this helps. It sounds like you have a project in mind. Please note that the K-510 horn (current version) is quite light. If you had a heavy driver mounted to the throat and the mouth mounted to the baffle, you might damage the face of the horn (the mouth-flange). Good Luck, -Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck, -Tom Dang Tom, I just went to get a tape measure, came back and saw your post. And yes it's 5 inches. Subtracting the thickness of the plastic it's 4.75 inches. And it measures like it would fit into a 13 1/2 by 7 inch cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MenloBob Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Also there's a DWG file you can download off of the Klipsch site that you can take measurements off of with a CAD viewer. One of the downloads for the 904 HF I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenloBob Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 What are you building Lkj? I have a k510 project in progress as well. K510s on top of 2x12 Eminence KappaLite LF drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K510s on top of 2x12 Eminence KappaLite LF drivers. I am trying to a build a 510 replica for rears because of it's shallow depth, 5.1 system for music. I am hoping with the horn measurements I can use my touch screen laptop and create top and bottom rib/template of the horns curves. I toyed with mdf and had some luck with making curved panels. I believe it's called a Kell cut, (maybe not) where you want the curve you cut approx. every 1/4 inch the length of panel going almost all the way thur panel. Once cut the mdf can be easily curved, tried with plywood but had better luck with mdf. If I can pull off making a decent/close 510 horn I will be using a single 12 kappa c to match fronts speakers kappa c 15's. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MenloBob Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I think you mean kerf cut. There’s some ebay horns with a thread on diyaudio that might be better than trying to copy k510s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
