Thuan98 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hi all, I currently own ‘82 KHorn and would like to build an enclosure just like latest AK6 I need the dimension of the back board width. My existing back board is 9 inches wide. If you own a pair, could you send a minute measure the width of the back board I see the Volti work but no dimension listed. Thanks in advance Thuan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 you're gonna need to remake that top hat also to maintain the volumetric space... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuan98 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Yes, I saw Volti process. Want to start out with bass bin and go from there. I might skip the remake top hat part since looking at them from front will not see the size “mismatch”. Can be reversible if I need to resale with original design Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Thuan Just build your enclosure to fit your K-horn. Should not need to match the tail board dimension of a different speaker. As I recall, volti had a very detailed explanation of his procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuan98 Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 As of now, 2 side boards and 9” wide tail board are cut and paint with duratex, along with braces. Will put together and give it an audition to hear how good is the low freq goes. Was thinking if I increase the width of tail board, would increase bass bin volume might help low freq. I noticed the new AK6 has wider board. I already bought a pair of SVS SB1000 pro if the modification did not yield good bass Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 if you have good corners , enclosed backs on Khorns will not help to increase the LF , the enclosed backs will allow you to move the Khorn out of the corner for toe in , but , you still need a corner in close proximity .

Thuan98 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 The enclosed build turn out to be great, more than expected Same location, same set up, KHorns produced more low freq and much louder in compare with my CW iii The enclosed cabinet boost I would say around 50% more low end in compare with non-mod Location measured at center of speaker, 4.5ft away from corners and 10.5ft apart Cost: one 4x8 plywood $70, one quart of Duratex from PartExpress (one layer, one side) $45, 20ft of window shield strip $20. I used brad nailer 18 gauge. Let me try to post some pictures Thanks to everyone responsed Happy listening 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some Khorns that I never listen to because the MCM1900 uses (hogs up lol) the ideal corners I have. 2 sides per speaker: 39.25” x 16” 1 tail board per speaker: 39.25” x 9”. Weather strip goes along 2 edges of this board and top side board Note: side board need 45 degree cut to meet tail board, other edge also 45 degree to have flush edge with grill side. You also see I build the cart on 4 low 1” wheel for easy move around and to ensure bass bin completely seal at bottom This board is 31.5” x 24” time two (another 4x8 plywood). This is option Hope this help and good luck 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thuan98 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 This is the wheels I ordered https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09B5WN6QR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 B version which support up to 160lbs which is overloaded with our 180 lbs KHorns. Still works fine for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
