woodnes Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hi! I want to build Khorns with crites drivers and crossover. I like to build AK-6 model. Any one have plans maybe? I can't find them anywhere. Can i just add back boards on older models of Khorn to get AK6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 11, 2021 Moderators Share Posted December 11, 2021 You mean similar maby, to a khorn. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 My understanding is it's a tough build with lots of angles inside it. If you got the chops, good for you. You might otherwise consider building a (earlier version) Jubilee. Nets you an easier build AND bigger/better sound (presuming you set a K402 on top) or you can go boss hog and do what some maniacs did and build some MWM bass bins, slap a 402 on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodnes Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Yes "dtel",i want to build similar speaker to Khorn as much as i can,clone. And "Coyotee",i understand its a tough build,but i'm a woodworker last 15 years and i have all tools,so for me its not impossible. I never listen a Jubilee,but Khorns i listen and i like them very very much!! So i stick to Khorns. I have big power monoblocks,single ended with EIMAC 100 TH tubes,pure 40W so i want to mate them with Khorns I think it will be a perfect sound. But,i find so many plans for Khorns,and they are same,more or less,always some diferent mesurment,so i hope somebody can give me bonafide plans,please!!

I would suggest that you buy a used pair of khorns , or that you build a lesser complex speaker - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidiosulus Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 You would probably want to either make a prototype model out of cheaper, but dimensionally accurate, plywood. Or, redraw any plans in some decent CAD software so you can verify measurements and angles before you start cutting. The latter is what Erik Forker did when he needed to build out of metric plywood in Europe. http://wp.volvotreter.de/dl-section/plans/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Keep in mind that a dimensional error of a fraction of an inch won't make a dime's worth of difference in a situation where wavelengths are measured in feet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Or find a set of the SKhorn plans. They are detailed an close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats true,then this is a very god news! Thank you! One audiophilic guy said to me,when i was building dallas II speakers,that if i make 1 mm error,that means totaly diferent sound quality.And there was some 1 mm error in build,but sound is awsome,so that what you say makes sence.

Edgar Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If you know your way around CAD, and you have a reasonably good set of measurements or plans, it's an easy design to model. I entered the Speakerlab K into CAD just last week -- took about twenty minutes. Now, I couldn't build from that model (yet), because I would have to isolate and dimension each part for manual cutting. But all of the information is there if I ever decide to.

They will be copies. Are you okay with that. The SKs have detailed build plans. There are no detailed plans available from Klipsch for their products. If you are a good builder, you could build the SK cabinets and put the rest of the parts that are Klipsch in them and not be able to tell the difference between them sound wise.

One was a Khorn copy. There were some different versions of them. Here's a pair for sale in Oregon. https://www.ebay.com/itm/144257169865?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=144257169865&targetid=1262749491542&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=9011130&poi=&campaignid=14859008593&mkgroupid=130497710760&rlsatarget=pla-1262749491542&abcId=9300678&merchantid=6296724&gclid=CjwKCAiA-9uNBhBTEiwAN3IlNBk1YlXPWmWw4quvOW9SM74hCDBR3HzzOKdzgBEVyKTCGg1iZRGAkhoCeYwQAvD_BwE Here's a pair in North Carolina. @DizRotusNeil hauled some around for dances when he was younger. https://boonevintagestereo.com The company is still in business but they sell different stuff now. They have their old catalogs online. http://www.speakerlab.net/ I've got a copy of their plans... too difficult for me to build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
