Normo Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I am curious if the folded horn box prevents any "tweaks" that might allow for a deeper low end? Are there constraints on bass extension from the box size, etc. My la scalas date from 1982. Thanks Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You can add a sub... Or build a 10" ported box for underneath to get repsonse to 30Hz. (remove if you don't like). Can't do much with the horn... it's about a direct radiator below 125Hz. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Bruce is right, add a sub. You may be surprised how high you need to set the sub's roll-off, too. I get the smoothest response with my sub rolled off at 150Hz. When I used more typical settings like 70-90Hz, there was a noticeable dip in the upper bass. When you combine La Scalas with a good sub, you do get a great-sounding setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
