woodsman Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Was not really sure where to post this question. But here goes. Is it ok to enclose the back part, where the horns and crossovers are. My little turd cat has been sleeping in there lately. She started going in the open part, so I put some sheets on that side. Then found her behind the awesome and pricey ALK's. Thankfully she is somehow carefull crawling around in there and did no damage. So I have some temporary duct tape covering that now. But would like to do something more permanent to keep her out. She does look so darn cute in ther though, and she is my baby, so no nasty suggestions on doing something to her. My thought, as a woodworker, is to put some 1/4 plywood attatched with screws. But then thought of that vibrating. Duct tape is too cheesy, that's just temp for now. Cardboard with some bouble sided tape is another thought that just came to mind. Anyone else have any issues or thoughts on this matter. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 The one piece industrial version of the LaScala is sealed in the manner you indicate. The one piece industrial has a frame made of 5/8's stock which the back piece attaches to...resulting in a flush look. In the one piece industrial, the attachment has a hole cut out, about 1/4 thick, to allow for the mid driver magnet ...which would otherwise put pressure on the new back section.

If you look at the back of the new La Scala it is actually sealed up but I doubt it would be a drop in replacement. It looks really nice though. Let us know how you solve this one. I cured my GFs cat by just cranking the speakers when ever she got close to them....The cat stays away now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsman Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks for the replies guys. If the new lascala has it enclosed than if I do mine they should be fine. When I get home from work today I am going to go with the plywood. I will cut a hole where the magnet is. Also notch out where the speaker cables are of course. Would like more of a permanent fix for this. With it screwed on properly it should not vibrate. Then can always take it off if ever I need to change anything. Will certainly keep the dust out. So I guess it's a win, win situation anyway. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djk Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Friend had a skinny cat that would walk through from one side to the other of the bass horn of his LaScala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodcaw boy Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 i put my dog in there when i had that problem. that learnt the cat!! boy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BobG Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 This one is easy and I'm disappointed no one figured it out. The cat is only in there because it's looking for the Tweeter. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale A B Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Six thumb tacks and some fabric for each speaker and you're done, which allows ventilation (not that you need it, but hey, it's a selling point!) NP - Iommi - Fused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Any craft shop will have plastic lattice that you may cut with sissors and fix in place - lots of air flow, easy to remove for service and cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mas Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Go to any garden supply or WalMart (in season) and cut a small piece of fruit tree bird netting and cover the opening (using tacks to attach it). But personally, I think this is a perceptual 'people' problem. The cat won't hurt a thing. My cats have done this on occassion for years. Somehow we have survived without ANY problem! I think the biggest concern would be for the cat regarding your choice of music! [][] But I get a real kick ( [:^)] ) out of the expressed idea that a cat would arbitrarily urinate on the speaker! That makes as much sense as your neighbors worrying that someone will arbitrarily urinate on their lawn furniture. OK, OK, maybe that's not fair...cats are much more meticulous!

marcophile Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Unless your feline is a complete klutz (and most are very careful) , I'd leave it alone and let the cat utilize the ultimate hiding spot. Besides, it will save time dusting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
