And slap on some K-402 horns

I might add that I've specifically asked Roy about doing something like this and he thought it would be a great match. Said he could run the x-over numbers too.

Where are Buckette and Keith when ya need them...

That looks like a great find.

This would also be a great opportunity for those who want to run two way with one of AL's ESN networks.

I haven't seen any posts on the K402 , price-wise. How much are we talking here?

Also, is the width correct, the LS is only 24" across?

Yep, only 24 inches across.

I once asked and if memory serves me, I was told that $1,000 was a reasonable number to use for discussions (on the 402).

I asked the seller his reserve and if cash on pickup was ok. Two answers, cash on pickup IS ok and on the reserve price:

sorry! It took me awhile to decide to let them go. I was going to sell them empty, however they are currently loaded with JBL 2220 woofers, (the best I have ever found). I think the reserve is 3 or 4 hundred dollars

The K402 as delivered with stand is about 39 5/8 wide and 26 1/2 tall (from bottom of BASE to top of horn, not horn height)

I was also thinking that if someone wanted to consider Jubilees down the road, you could stairstep you way into it financially...

Do a setup like this today and later on, simply buy the bass bins

Holy crap! I hope that includes the drivers!

Anyway, far too wide for my current horns. It would take a really wide cabinet like the Jubilee to make it seem "acceptable" for home use, seems to me.

hmmm

If they have drivers, 300 bucks if a fair price.

I have seen complete empty original LaScala cabs go for 250.

As far as JubScala's, you do realize that the inside core of a Jub looks a lot like a LaScala.

But you would need 4 LaScala bass bins to make one pair of LaScalas.

A few cuts to the tops and bottoms of these sawed off LaScala bass bins, some side panels, a top and a bottom and you'll have some Jub cabs that would be 20% wider than the present Jub cab.

Which would be great, since most of us would need a place to live if we even attempted to wheel Jub cabs 20% oversized into our homes.

Snap out of it...cold water....ask someone to slap you...get stuck with a straight pin.

The price for the 402 horn does as best I know, include the K69 driver AND the platform it sits on.

There are folks into the 2 way (that never meant much to me but now having these, I'm finally "getting it")

if someone wanted a pair of Jubilees but didn't want the upfront hit on their wallet, they could put this together, have a serious system (add a sub and yikes!)

Berryboy said he could figure out the crossover stuff so that woudn't be a long term problem

Down the road when said person was ready, they could simply buy the Jubilee bass bins (or buy JC's throw aways? [6]) and be off & running.

He DID say they had some JBL drivers in them

I'd imagine it would be kind of funky looking with the K-402 being wider than the base. Indeed, it's even taller than the base is wide!

Just ask my wife though...it's not about the looks...it's about the sound
