dontsellmyinfo Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 i have a set of rf-3 first edition speakers. i also have a sunfire load invariant symphonic reference power amp which is way more power than these rf-3's can handle. heres my question: if i were to modify my speaker cabinet to accomodate rf-7 III woofers and tweeters will they work with the crossover network thats in the cabinet right now? or would i need to get new crossovers network ? i dont know anything about crossovers and electricity or speakers but i dont see why i cant modify the cabinet to accomodate the much larger woofers and get this to work. any advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Wow, a project with some awe factor. Once you do this, if you do, there is no going back, at least not back to pristine 3s... Welcome to the forum @dontsellmyinfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 No, they won't. Even if you replace everything it still won't work well because of the difference in cabinet size, ports, etc. As a current model speaker, you can't just order all the parts from an RF-7 III either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulkogi Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I agree with wuzzer. Additionally, I don't think they are physically wide enough to even try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Plus, where are you going to source the components? You can't just call up Klipsch and tell them you're building your own speakers. They don't sell parts like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Buy some Gen 1 RF-7’s on the used market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 The woofer diameter on it's own is too big for the 10" woofers, not to mention the horn. Plus for the cost and effort, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just buy the towers anyway. If you want RF-7 III's, buy RF-7 III's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
