Corvette6769 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I saw them too, wow those are some oldies, judging by the labels, emblems, and crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Guess I am losing my vision along with my hearing. Where are the pix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Note the top is screwed on. You can see the top-access doghouse door under the networks and K-400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yes, but you can get at the woofer without removing the top. Mine are like that too. Remove the mid-horn and crossover first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungkiman Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 My '73 are the same way too. It's hard to see what you're doing in the doghouse if you leave the top on. Nice thing is that you can enclose the back, port the upper chamber, and benefit from most of the La Scala porting mods without the additional height of a box below.

psg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Yeah, but mine got "refinished" along the way and all the screws were plugged. But I swapped a K33 for a K43 from that back hole, so it can be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Seems like the bay area is the place to be to get inexpensive Klipsch deals. They appear all the time there. The cost of living more than makes up for it though. The sad part is that our nephew who lives there had a truck until someone totalled it for him a few weeks ago....

Mine are stock, but the one time I took a top off "just to see" what was inside, I chipped some of the top ply around a couple screw holes. The screws were sunk just slightly, and the wood must have "relaxed" a little and closed up slightly . Probably would have helped to clean the screw heads before attempting, but it doesn't bother me much. Now I have more room for plants. Kidding! I'm just impressed that you were able to get enough arm in there to swap woofers! These are flat black fir plywood theater models; type K-447.

The tricky part is that if you lie the speaker horizontally so that the woofer is horizontal for easy removal, you have lied the only access hole on the floor! So you can't do that. I might have used a little block to wood to support the new woofer in place while I got the first screws in. The good part is that they are not wood screws but rather metal screws that fit into threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
