AndreG. Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 @Peter P. In another thread You mentioned: "If I were to connect the kg sw to the 2nd channel outputs, I would have even greater bass because the Heresy II's would continue to run full-range, ADDING to the sub's output." Have You run this option or are you satified with connecting the SW like Klipsch intended? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have You run this option or are you satified with connecting the SW like Klipsch intended? I prefer to run the sub and Heresy's separately because it makes it easy to compare with/without the sub, but quite frankly I do that so rarely I should just hook them up as the kg sw intended and let the high pass filter do its thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Ok, so it´s been delivered... but. - I haven´t connected it yet, only measured ohms, the drivers seem to be ok, high setting gives about 9 ohms, low is about 5. But the cabinet needs a rebuild, all four corners are banged up, badly, even the MDF took a beating. It looked ok on the Ebay pictures, so my guess is our postal service dropped it a few good times. Packaging wasn´t enough to handle 20 kilos of speaker i guess, i feared as much without original boxing. Gonna hook them up tomorow and see if the drivers are good. Also pictures tomorow. On the plus-side, the cable i got to connect the 1.5s and the SW looks pretty sharp. This will be a bigger project than i thought. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I'm not sure how you plan to repair the banged up corners, but if it's more work than necessary without a possible good outcome, you could always just install speaker corner protectors. If you look around you can find them in many attractive styles and colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreG. Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Here´s some pictures. It´s no impossible task and i might learn something. My colleague is a carpenter and he will help me out for sure, so not all is lost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I would sand it to wood and stain it brown. You'll have to work on this anyhow now. On second thought.after repair, painting it black will hide the reparation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the sonic-side, the box seems to be working, just have to find the right placement for optimum base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P. Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Wood putty, some gentle sanding, and black stain. If you find the side panels themselves have pulled apart, you can square up the box with a small ratchet strap used to repair furniture. Drive finishing nails in, countersink them, then fill the holes with a furniture repair pencil. I performed a similar nail repair on my Heresy's and it's invisible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
