The replacement drivers for LaScalas are cheap, so just replace them with the factory replacement parts.

I am searching for a bookmark I used to have , possibly from the klipsch site? where in the deal was to install a JBL woofer and then vent it. They seemed to think it was the bomb.

Seems like they used the JBL 2205. I've heard of some doing a similar thing with Klipschorns, but without the vent.

Yes it was the 2205 I read about, it was vented but I do not remember where, seems like it was a little lower, 35 hz maybe? I remember some slight adjustments to the cross over for the different driver, but I really dont remember what or how! I am sure someone on the klipsch forum can give the particulars. I have also read, I believe in the same article, as well as others, that they recommended a slightly different klipsch woofer also for netter bass in the stock arraingement than the original woofer provided. The klipsch drivers are reasonable in price, all things considered. Most I have seen, while they do the job, were light weight stamped frame and in stark contrast to the cast monsters made by altec and jbl. dont misunderstand, I have no problem with klipsch, just an observation about driver construction.

Klipsch drivers are OEM made Emimence drivers for Klipsch. That's why the construction different from EV, JBL, Altec etc..

I used the 2226H in a vented LaScala cabinet. There are several threads about this on the Klipsch forum:

Mainly I am refering to construction quality, the JBL and Altec are big heavy cast frames, whereas the klipsch drivers I have seen are stamped, much lighter weight items. Apparently, they do the job fine, just noting construction differences is all!

Thankyou, I new one of the Klipsch guys could show us this, Thanks again. I have wanted a Lascala project since the 70s, but only so many large horn speakers can reside in my small house at the time.

Well, it's nice to be able to help, but I wouldn't describe myself as one of the Klipsch guys. I built some La Scala bass bins to fill inn below my Oris horns. Nowadays I use the original Oris bass system. As you say, horns occupies a lot of space.
