eddbear Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I have always been in love with Klipsch speakers. So I have spent a lifetime in trick cars and car audio. The Mercedes was my next project. Becker makes nice radios, so I found a BE3302 and linked it with a fiberoptic amp they made in extreme limited production that can be programed with a laptop computer. With this fiberoptic line it was looped into the Becker CD changer. Now for the best part, finding speakers. Looking at the different Klipsch speakers (especially out door) I made my choice with Klipsch 8" woofers(1/2 inch birch base made to help , enhance the sound, 4 1/2" midrange, 1" Tractrix tweeters for the back custom installed in the rear packing shelf with hand crafted grills painted to match the interior. The front speakers were 4 1/2" for the dash speakers and the 1" Tractrix tweeters below the dash. Now there was speacial mounting plates made out of birch 1/8" plywood and ABS. Klipsch crossovers were also ordered and installed. It as if the car came from the factory with this system. WOW, man this is hot. What clear highs and great audiofile midrange and lows. Enjoy the rich Klipsch sound in your car, because the car audio world is just cheap thumping lows and tinny highs. It has been three years now and my daughter drives this vehicle impressing her friends. Try it, you will love the quality in your ride. PS: I am restoring a Kübelwagen now for 3 years so far. Off I go. Thanks...for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talk about this subject often in the Two Channel Section and in General Questions. Please feel free to repost this in either of those sections. Two Channel may be best because more of the guys read that section. Again, welcome to the forum.....I hope you stick around.....it sound like you have some really good ideas.

Paladin Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 dtel's wife is correct, this will get better traffic elsewhere, perhaps updates and modifications... Moved from the "Forum" forum to "Updates and Modifications". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsched with Yamahas Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Interesting read......I'm sure it's one HAWT setup I was originally gonna try these in the next setup, but then decided against it! http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products_page.php?id=cd1pro&type=horn I fear I would have had to obtain (2) 31-band EQ's to tame those beasts, and the project would have been cost prohibitive. If you've ever heard these properly tuned, there is nothing sweeter IMHO. This is what I had hoped KLIPSCH would endeavor to get into the market place.

j-malotky Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 In the good old days... One of my friends I use to party with had an old pannel van with a pair of Heresy's in back. We use to call it the party bus. Those Heresy's rocked. Ahh, the old van with no windows.... Some fine memories [] [6] JM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
