NBPK402 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 What about building the 1/4 pies that Claude has and then buying the EV horns Mark has? Great idea but thread is Posted 31 January 2006 - 03:56 PM OOPs.. I didn't catch that Sancho had bumped it from the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 YEAH, every time I think about building some, I remember the $500 & $600 pairs I could've bought over the past year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBPK402 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I paid $500 for my pair... Of course they will never be a La Scala again, as the only thing left is the bass bin and woofers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 much cheaper than building, though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 much cheaper than building, though Not by much if you have the time... 1. Buy 4 EV horns from Mark for $400 2. Buy 2 MiniDSPs for $250 complete or for less in kit form or you could use Audyssey for free from your AVR until you can buy something better 3. Buy 4 woofers for around $400 4. Build 4 1/4 pie bass bins for $400-$500 in plywood... I think 6 sheets are required and someone said they found some for $55 a sheet which would be $330 Total could be around $1130 if you have Audyssey and can get a good deal on the plywood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 1130-500=630 plus gas plus rebuild costs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Don't forget my estimates are for 4 speakers not 2. $565 a pair plus your labor and gas for getting wood. Edited March 21, 2014 by Ron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho Panza Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 who is Mark you are getting the EV horns from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max2 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Im still plainig to build them just not all at once. I plan to make 1 pair very soon. As far as componets, I am thinkin as of now to use Mr. Bob's k77 tweeter, k55 drivers, ALK Trachorn k33 woffers and the ALK universal crossovers. I figure roughly 1500 to build a pair like this not including the cost of wood or any other little things. If you're cutting wood and going with custom mids and what not, consider building a set of Jub clones. If your wanting a ported box, look at a Cornscala that Bob offers in many different setups. He will build them for you if you like as well. Used, stock, Industrial La Scalas will be hard to beat as far as cost effectiveness goes and like someone else mentioned, will be very marketable if you choose to sell in the future. http://www.critesspeakers.com/cornscala.html Edited March 21, 2014 by Max2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 who is Mark you are getting the EV horns from? Minermark has them up for sale. I can't use any more of them but I was suggesting it as an inexpensive build and you end up with 2 ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
