bassetized Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 what i mean bythat is that because of lack of tools and ability, i would beinterested in someone building a center channel using a heresy mid andtweeter with different woofers. my heresy center doesn't fit under mySony RP and i cant mount it above. also, how would the crossover change? thanks guys, chels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I believe I seen at least one member who has built one. IIRC, he replaced the 12" woofer with two 8" woofers but kept the two horns vertically aligned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 No insult intended, just a question... Have you considered turning the Heresy on it's side. Or does that not fit either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I turned mine on its side. It works just fine. I'm usually directly in front of it and sometimes lying down with my feet on the same side as the woofer, so it all works out. It's not dead center below the TV; the top edge of the squawker is dead center and I figure most of the dialogue comes from the squawker and tweeter, so that makes it effectively centered.

sunburnwilly Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I can verify that a single Heresy on it's side or standing , if possible . Makes a great center channel . I just gave my sister and brother inlaw one for Christmas . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassetized Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 at the moment, it is on its side. the problem is that it doesn't fit under the table that supports the set. it sticks out into the room about 1.5 feet or more than the LR speakers(also heresies). the set is a Sony KDS-60A3000, it needs to be on a low stand for it to look its best so i don't want have it any higher up. i'd also like to keep the horns horizontal to keep imaging consistent. that being said, it does sound great as it is...i still would like to clean up the appearance and eliminate some possible issues that come with the present speaker placement, thanks, chels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfk Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Rebuilding the Heresy II as a center channel w/2 8" woofers and maybe a well calculated duct port is brilliant. I tried laying an HII sideways on top of my tv, the HI is unshielded and vibtates the hell out of the tv. Shielding the drivers and increasing the length of the cab wi/some other mods will make it a great center channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 This is a pic of a modded KLF 30 into a center channel to give you a idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbsl Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I just bought a 50 inch tv and I'm working out a mod on my center La Scala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperxes Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I have been building since Saturday night a center channel what started out as a medium size project turns out bigger as always. My center will consist of 2 12s from a heresy and the mid and tweeter from a lascala. When I get it closer to being painted I will throw pics up of the build but I am havening a hard time trying to come up with a project forum post name. Here is a pic of what I thought of starting out as by using 2 Heresy2 parts into one cabinet but my ideas evolved into some thing I think a lot of you will like. I decided against my first plan of this pic (sorry for the bad Photoshop job really sorry for the bad Photoshop job) I am not happy with this idea but I am sure it would work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 HA, Thank goodness it's only a bad Photoshop job, I thought you were the worst carpenter on the planet there for a minute. A hint would be to use SINGLE horns of each type. You get only nominally more output with dual horns and make a variety of other problems.

jocko_nc Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Sorry, I have been away from the Klipsch forums for a while. I have been pre-occupied with guitars, guitar cabinets, and vinyl lately. I am, however, feeling the need to dive into Klipsch again. Here is a Heritage center channel project I did about a year ago. The project worked out quite well, I hardly even notice the thing anymore. I have forgotten how unique it is. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/85987.aspx?PageIndex=1jocko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
