IndyKlipschFan Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 I think the weight is one of the huge issues here, too, your right Paul. As far as the physical size, if your looking again at the pic I posted on page one of this thread (Of the 60th version) What were doing is just enclosing it up to where your side grill cloths are in the back. (I doubt I will enclose the top section where the horns are what is the point? So the physical measurement will remain the same if you did this mod or not on the bottom section of the K horn. I am sure if you had measurements by extending this out some it may or may not make a difference. A Jubilee bottom does this and also has one more extension where the grill cloth is on a k horn, re firing it out into the room not into the corners. Again, my understanding was the walls "as designed in this k horn design" are what helps the bass move into the room. What were really doing is this.. making sure it fires out forward into the room itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspr Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Another thing to consider is that with the back completely closed inas with the 60'th, you would no longer be able to tuck themtightly into good corners due to issues with existing baseboards orheat rads etc. When doing this mod, would a bottom not berequired as well? Also, the back would have to be attachedoutside the bassbin as opposed to being inset (flush with the existingwoodwork) like with the 60'th model. Don't want to changethe size of the final flare.

Speedball Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 If I remember correctly they will still be able to sit flush against the wall with these panels in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpod Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I hope you guys post pics and a cut sheet, this is something I really need to do. I have perfect corners but being 30' apart the sweet spot is way to close. To be able to toe out towards the side walls... lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

Speedball Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 I suppose we could record measurements, angles, and whatever else would be necessary to duplicate this project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3dzapper Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Is that like: "curious as a cat in a room full of empty boxes"? You Indiana guys have a way with words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dzapper Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 BTW I'm watching for your results. If you are sucessful, I know others it can help. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackpod Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I can't wait. My room is 30x30 so the sweet spot is in the middle of the room. I want to be able to toe the big boys out to put the sweet spot at about 24'. I am hoping for a cut sheet and lots of pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Monday December 11th, we start woooo hooooooo We will have pics for everyone too.. Here we go. Wish us luck! Should take 1-2 days.. + labor costs and the cost of the wood. I still say this mod should be easy, and VERY duplicable if the results are good.

IndyKlipschFan Posted December 10, 2006 Author Share Posted December 10, 2006 http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/837644/ShowThread.aspx#837644 I moved this to the updates and mods section. (I apologize and I am not sure why I posted it here to begin with, I am so sorry.) Pat will be here tomorrow (Dec 11th) as planned, and this should take 1-2 days we will have pics and a "do it yourself to manual" for others to see and do. I am very excited to finally try this one.. Especially for those with good (but not perfect rooms, too) I bet a lot of you are interested and SHOULD try this yourself too. (If our results seem worthy too.) Wish us luck!

IndyKlipschFan Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 OK, so day one down. We went slow measured twice... Found a great sheet of 3/4 " Baltic Birch Plywood that were using for the backs. Yes, (I know hard to believe) I even cut some today using a jig saw for the fake bottoms. We have the sides all cut, and will need to do the back and the braces tomorrow. This could be a one day job, were taking our time in two and getting it done right. Pat is a great guy, were having fun, and I am looking forward to hearing the results tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
