jwc Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks. As far as measuring the length of the ports.....you can just stick a tape measure inside the port and "catch" the end of the tape measure on the back of the port. Internal diameter can be done from outside the cabinet as well. 3.5"? I was guessing they would be 4". Well...thanks for you help. I have contemplated some KLF-30 mods at one point....don't know if I will ever get around to it or not. If someone gets a chance...can they give me the EXACT external dimensions of the cabinet. I can figure out the internal. I could get the specs from the klipsch site but would like some hard measurements. thanks. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was also at work, and could not have measured it anyways. It looks like I will be unpacking it though to let someone sample it. If so, I'll measure then.

jwc Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Well please don't unpack for mysake....but if you do....measurements would be helpful. Thanks for working with me on this. Anyone reading this thread who has KLF30's could help answer my questions too. Nice work by the way. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjfranke Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 I sold it last night. Measured the ports, and they were 3" ID and 2.5" depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwc Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Would anyone be able to tell me what the thickness of wood is used for the KLF 30? It looks like 5/8". Also....can anyone pop off the grill and tell me what distance the baffle is recessed from the front edge of the speaker? On the Cornwall it was 5/8 inch. But I was thinking on more modern speakers with thinner grills...it might be less. Thanks again. jc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjfranke Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Wood thickness is definitely 23/32". I'm not sure about the grill. I don't think it's 5/8", probably closer to 3/8". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo1 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I've been wondering.. On the KLF-C7, Klipsch chose to vertically orient the horn, as opposed to horizontally, like on the mains. I'm trying to figure out why they would do this.. Was it: 1- They figured people weren't going to angle the speaker properly, so they needed the wider dispersion vertically? 2- Trying to "anchor" the sound to the middle by reducing the horizontal dispersion? 3- A concession to try and keep this relatively large speaker more compact? (I hope not) I think the horizontal orientation (like was done on these KLF-30's) is best if for nothing more than keeping the interaction with the ceiling and floor to a minimum, but again, my curiousity is making me wonder why Klipsch did what they did...

DrWho Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'd wager the intent was a more consistent polar pattern due to the separated woofers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's Number 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 It's Number 2. FWIW, at the Pilgrimage in Indy (I forget which one), I think it was Blanchard who was commenting that he would rather have wider horizontal polars for the center channel, but marketing (or really the customers) would have nothing to do with it because it would require a speaker that was taller than it was wide....the form factor would be all off. Some of the more recent center channels from Klipsch have been using taperred array xovers to widen the horizontal polars from the woofers - thus allowing the tweeter to have a wider pattern in the horizontals. Basically, wider polars from the center channel will give you a wider sweet spot...which is nice for when you don't want to watch movies by yourself.

colterphoto1 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Isn't it the K604 horn? It's only 60x40 so turned on end the sweet spot should be very narrow, but any floor/ceiling interaction wouldn't be that bad. I could be wrong.

"on end"...meaning.. the 60° edge horizontal (like in the L/R speakers), or vertical (like the KLF-C7)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 As a center I think id move the ports on the back to the left and right side. Or maybe not? who knows Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephgould Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I’m thinking of converting a klf 10 and I was wondering is it necessary to swap out networks to a Popbumper's networks? Thanks and where would you find one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
