Rudy81 Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 I don't want to start WWIII on wiring. I am in the process of taking my slightly damaged La Scala apart and noticed the wires from the network to each horn is not what you call large gauge. I am looking for suggestions of wire gauge to put in place of the stock wire, or shoould I leave it as is? Should I leave the woofer as is, or remove the black connection strip that goes from the dog house to the top side? Anything else I should do while I have the thing apart? Thanks guys.

tgw323 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 I paralleled 16 ga. wire in my Chorus II's.Drilled holes in the board and cleaned up around it. Put some sound deadener sheet on the horns. Finished putting foam on the sides and bottom as they apparently couldn't find enough. Did 1 speaker and compared at close range; 1 ear in 1,other ear listening to the other. About 75% of the time I could hear a definite improvement.

Daddy Dee Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 There are some threads discussing that question on this BB. I have worked on a LaScala buildup project and used 16 ga wire. I was thinking about heavier gauge, but was convinced that it wasn't needed on the basis that PWK didn't think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 p.s. on the barrier strip on top of the bass bin... using it keeps one from having to run wire through holes in the cabinet. The woofer can then be disconnected on either side of the bass bin cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy81 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 Thank you for the suggestions. After much reasearch, and soul searching, I have decided to leave them stock. I e-mailed Klipsch support and they convinced me that moving the tweeter forward would make mininal difference, so no need to risk cutting into the cabinet. As far as wiring. The current wire is in good shape, no green oxydation, and so I will leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
