Good call on the PL glue. I've also had good luck on joints that don't mate up well enough for yellow glue, with Gorilla Glue...just tape off and try to limit expansion or you'll have a lot of sanding.
I have had a pair of these for a long time. Like to see what's inside of them. You have any idea where I could find plans to build the Khorns? That's my next project.
SpeakerLab used to sell the DIY plans for a K-horn build. In 1979, a friend and I bought the plans and built a pair according to the SpeakerLab plans and it was a fun and challenging woodworking project. You may be able to find those plans online or eBay possibly. Good Luck!
any chance of you knowing the squawker mount hole pattern - i am in the middle of my build and hope to pre drill without tearing my current one out to find it - i know the tweeter and woofer patterns
I know im way too late to point out the problem with this design, but you've killed the bass in the system by attaching the horn box to the woofer cabinet, it's designed as a separate sub-woofer by creating resonance in and with the separated boxes, now im afraid you've lost your vibration of the sub box, hopefully you won't hear the difference but i worry about the effect on the horns with the lower frequency surrounding them
Thanks for watching. It’s built exactly to the La Scala spec, and exactly as per the original pair I previously owned. While there may be other ways to approach this, I assure you it works as it should. The bottom section in its entirety is a folded horn - the woofer is in effect a compression driver attached at the throat of that horn. It is one unit, not a box within a horn enclosure
I doubt Klipsch built them with that much precision. They are production speakers after all. Nice job.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Scott, thanks for watching. I used the squawker itself as a template, so can’t help you with this one. Good luck with your build!
that's my plan as well so far the build is going really well Thank you
