m1garand Posted June 8, 2001 Share Posted June 8, 2001 Good People, Can anyone tell me how to get to my LaScalla woofers if (God Forbid!!) I ever had to replace them? As I was tinkering around with some amps that I'm building, I started worrying about the chance of blowing one out. I see no openings into the cabinet (other than the front). In fact I can't even reach into there far enough to reach the driver. All the joinery on the cabinet looks pretty perminent. Does the bottommost slab of plywood under the cabinet come off by chance? Thanks for the help. P.S. Anyone have any reccomendations for other drivers that improve the bass performance? Thanks. JJJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted June 8, 2001 Share Posted June 8, 2001 Yes, the bottom "door" does come off. Mine are held in place by many-a-screw. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted June 8, 2001 Share Posted June 8, 2001 No recommendations about the drivers. Tony This message has been edited by Tony Reed on 06-08-2001 at 05:39 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 Don't be afraid to take the bottom off. It has a lot of screws, so use may want to use a powered screwdriver. Very interesting! I'm happy with my LF... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete C Posted June 10, 2001 Share Posted June 10, 2001 BTW, Klipsch and other users have recommended a Cornwall (or maybe Chorus or Forte) center to add bass. Others just say get a subwoofer. I love living inside of the bass cabinet and I like the way it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 The K-33-E is the best woofer for the La Scala basshorn. The K-43 pro woofer is said to have higher output and will therefore sound warmer. Nothing can be done to make the bass go deeper, the basshorn size controls that. You'll need a killer sub, or two (I use 2), to match output and distortion of the La Scala basshorn. Check your woofers to see if they are K-33-Es and if not, upgrade. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1garand Posted June 11, 2001 Author Share Posted June 11, 2001 Thanks for the help so far everyone. How about aftermarket woofers, like Selenium or EV? I ask because I suspect I can purchase them for less than a factory part. JJJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted June 12, 2001 Share Posted June 12, 2001 MSRP on a K33E is $100.Not only do EV,JBL,Selenium,etc NOT make a replacement woofer NONE are less money either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Palm Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 My Scalas are 1972 vintage. I thought the woofer "hatch" was under the cross over. When was this changed? What driver do I have, and what sonic improvements would I have, if I had to upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
