Klipsch Car Audio??

Recommended Posts

Does anyone out here have the specs on what this guy says are "Klipsch 12-inch Car Subs"

Model K-1074-K?

I was not aware that Klipsch made any car speakers, but have been thinking that it would be cool if they did because they'd sound great...

did they once make these speakers, and has anyone heard them?

Klipsch did own Pyle for a while, but no longer has any interest in that company, as far as I know (which isn't very far Smile.gif).

Sounds like this guy built a sub using a couple of regular 12" Klipsch woofers. If we had the parts list on the web site again, we could cross reference to see what speakers Klipsch used that woofer in.

They look like the woofers from the LF10 or the LF12 subwoofers for home audio.

Klipsch does not make car audio products, although they are associated with or the owner's of Pyle Corp. The woofers for auction look like drivers taken from an LF-10 Subwoofer, you can use them if you can obtain the Theile Small (T/S) parameters from Klipsch so you can build the proper enclosure for them. In the wrong size and type of enclosure they will not sound good. They are also more than likely an 8 ohm driver but paralleling them both should give you a 4 ohm load so you can drive them with a bridged amplifier. Anyway in the proper enclosure they should work fine.

Thank you very much......LOL

I saw those on ebay over the weekend and knew that they weren't car audio subs at all, but those from an LF-12 sub. If that LF-12 sub was all together, the guy would get alot more then $150.
