001 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 ive seen the mod for extending ports on the chorus, anyone ever do this to PRO models like the 301ii? what should the length be? looking at the 301 & 301ii specs, the 301 goes a lot lower than the 301ii on paper, i think the original 301s show 36hz but the 301ii show 45hz like the chorus. why would klipsch raise the bass freq on the 2s & what makes up for the difference since both models use the same woofer & cabinet dimensions look pretty close.

If you can, take a look at any difference between both models ports length, if any. Experiment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Think Chorus mod length is around 7 inches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experiment... from what i can tell, the ports are just holes in the front board, just like on the chorus. the mod for the chorus extends them a certain length, i think i remember 6-7" but im probably off on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Between the bass extension at volume level, you should be down to 41 to 42 hz, without mod so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revrseat70 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I know this is a super old thread, but I’m resurrecting to ask about my 301’s after following the advice in this thread. These are audyssey results from AFTER adding 4x6” port extensions. I’m lucky if the response doesn’t fall off a cliff above 80ish hertz. Before the mod, I was lucky if it was more like 90 or even 100ish. This can’t be normal. Also, these big dips on the left speaker seem extreme. (I’ve gotten rid of the 2k dip audyssey puts in already) they’ve had at least the big capacitor replaced. Could it be time for a complete overhaul on the crossover?

geoff. Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Silly question, since you mentioned Audyssey, is the DSP bypassed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the results audyssey gathered not rew measurements while running DSP. So while the results could probably be more accurate, this is what I have to work with.

billybob Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Think you may find around 5 Inches close, if you are doing a port extension. There are quick ways to find out without compromising the ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought these last year. The woofer design looks different but everything else physically looks the same. By design I mean one is silver with the model Stamp K48 and the other is black with the Klipsch emblem. Shape and dimensions look the same. the squawkers are identical and the tweeters are now SMAHLs. The one with the huge dips has a 30.B crossover, while the better looking graph is from a 30.A crossover. the cabinets seem to be in good shape. I’ve added bracing while I was adding the extensions. but I want to be clear, the bass extension fell off a cliff 20hz higher before the extensions. Tons of slam, just no depth.
