My Hartilee

[hartsfield1]

I took my set of Klipsch jubilees and made them externally to be a Hartsfield. Now i have the awesome bass of the Jubilee with the look of the Hartsfield. I am actually veneering now, i just took a break and thought i would take a pic before i got it venerred. Then i decided to post it. Should be done in a couple days. Then i will post the final pic of my finished Hartilee. I would love feedback, good or bad. Thanks

How does it sound?

Are you anywhere near Link Ally??? he mentioned something to me about a JUBEFIELD wedding.

[hartsfield1]

Sounds like a jubilee bass cabinet which is awesome. Midrange will be 2452s. Eminance tweeter.

[Maron Horonzakz]

Yes that Eminance tweeter is nice,, Where are you getting your mid horn & serpentine lens from??

[hartsfield1]

I am not sure yet maron where I'm getting that lense. If all else fails I can make something and it will look good. Do u have any suggestions? I will probably list these on eBay in a week or so. I don't know if I can afford to keep em. ....and yes, Link knows first hand how my jubilees sound crossed at 600 with jbl 2452s, and 2404s; superb.

[Maron Horonzakz]

I believe CLASSIC AUDIO REPRODUCTIONS.. still makes them...313-229-5191,,, I dont know the price. Also some times JAMMIN JERSEY in calif has them.

Here are a few more Ruediger. tell me what you think

[hartsfield1]

as you can see the plywood covering the bass exit. Those are where grill covers will be so you can get idea of what i'm doing. lol Hope that helps give idea of what finished will look like after veneer and black covers.

[Maron Horonzakz]

Very solid looking...What Veeneer are you going to use?

[hartsfield1]

maron, i have some rosewood going on these... actually i have a few pics of my sheets, i will post.

[hartsfield1]

These are 2 sheets that i have not cut up yet. My fronts are put away. They are very nice pieces

[Maron Horonzakz]

Beautiful Veneer,,,, My dineing room cabinets ar Rosewood..Love the stuff.. They get better with age..

[hartsfield1]

link says you are staying with the khorns? is this true?

[Maron Horonzakz]

Here are a few more Ruediger. tell me what you think

Quite impressive! What drivers do You use for the bass?

Between the khorn's walls and the heritage's walls there is a cavity. Maybe the air in that cavity can be excited to resonate. You might close that opening with a strip of wood.

The stock jubilee comes out with K31e woofers. They cost 125 a piece. However pioneer has a woofer with the correct field parameters of the internals in it is only 75 a woofer. I have had both in my cabinets. The pioneer is the better woofer. It hits harder, more db's, but the klipsch woofers seem to go up a little higher; like around 1000. That doesn't matter cause i these cabinets sound best crossed at 600. As far as that cavity, if it is what i am thinking that you are thinking, my grill covers will be solid wood over around the edges and will seal that part off. But as you can see on the side and back pic, the black part of the cabinet is the jubilee. I just added all that external wood to make it look like a hartsfield. And yes is weighs a ton.

[hartsfield1]

The rosewood is already giving me splinters!!!

[Maron Horonzakz]

Stop crying you can heart tomorrow

[hartsfield1]

If you are within driving distance.... You should come stay a few days with link He just had a Kevin come down and build his big 50w 300b. He is selling all to buy Hartilees

[hartsfield1]

Almost done!!!

[Maron Horonzakz]

Dont let Link fool you, He,s got the money,,,,,, That veneer looks beautifil,,,Cant wait to see what you do for the high frequency horn.

[hartsfield1]

[Maron Horonzakz]
