KPH Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I am picking up a pair of Klipsch Belles tomorrow to transport in my Chevy Tahoe. Can anyone tell me whether the top cap of the Belle that houses the tweeter and mid comes off in its entirety as they do on a Klipschorn? I am wanting to reduce the weight of each speaker for transport. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 the tops don't come off like the klipschorn. no reason to try and reduce the weight they will fit in a tahoe no problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPH Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thank you for the information about my question as to the tops. Most helpful. Yes, trying to manage the weight of getting them into a Tahoe...but it is what it is. Best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It didn't rain; no longer have the Crown Vic. Got lucky; should have made 2 trips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPH Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Picked them up. They fit fine in the Tahoe with room to spare. After looking at their construction, I do believe that the tops come off similar to the Khorns. But fortunately attempting it was not needed. Thanks all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Glad someone got a pair of Belles... My La Scalas easily fit in my 2007 Subaru Forester... and when I picked them up I had a '98 Blazer. I figured the Belles would fit in the Tahoe. Please post pics of your new babies once you get them in place. We always like pics.

Islander Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 When I bought my La Scala IIs, the seller had the original boxes and foam padding, so that was lucky. The tops just lift off, and have their own boxes, so a pair of LS2s comes in 4 boxes, which are all pretty big.. At the time, I had a ‘98 Dodge Grand Caravan with the second row seat removed (no Stow ‘n Go seating on that one), and the 4 boxes barely fit. The upside is that I was sure the almost-mint one owner speakers were totally safe in their boxes. Naturally, I kept the boxes and padding. If I ever have to do it again, my current Grand Caravan does have the storable second and third row seats, so there would be quite a bit more usable space in it. Almost forgot, I brought my Belles home in that ‘98 van back in 2009. They came without boxes, and they easIly fit into the van, with room to spare. I’m glad to hear your move went well, with no casualties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
