Klipschorns in a Volvo wagon?

[WillVT]

If the max width is 53.1", and the speakers are 50.7" tall, wouldn't they fit in sideways?
A single would fit lenghtwise for sure. Two trips maybe?
I fit a full size kitchen range in my Volvo 850 wagon, which I think is smaller than the 240.

U would put them on a rack???? Ur roof would never b the same again

Just got home, I think they would have fit (sideways, laying down with the tops behind them), But it was much easier with the truck. I just didn't want to get caught in the rain like I did with my DQ-20's (I always have a blue tarp for emergencies). The owner wanted them gone, I was happy to help, I wont say what I paid, but the ad just said :Free large speakers" with a picture.

I wouldn't put them on the roof of the Volvo, But I would put the Hand truck up there.

I always joke I’m going to walk into a GW and find a set of Khorns, I guess dreams do come true. Bravo

I'm going to need an inventory of everything you own audio related.

I get to pick something I want and pay 1/5th market value.

You then go on national TV and go on and on about how happy you are to send it my way and how you'd do it again, zero prompting.

Haha - I was interpreting this post as 'can I use Klipschorns as my car audio system,' to which I still say - GO FOR IT!

LOL! Same here. Just rip out the backseats and snuggle those puppies in there.

Just incredible!!

What a score!

Congrats to you on "saving" those fine old speakers and a truck is definitely the way to go for moving them. FWIW one Khorn taken apart barely fits (shoehorn needed) and completely fills my Santa Fe and same for my bud's Tahoe.

About 40 years ago I brought my K-horn bass bins down to Tucson, from Seattle, in a U-Haul trailer. I actually found a ride sharer willing to haul the trailer, from a bulletin board (the physical kind) at the University of Washington.

Congratulations on your good fortune!

Well done!

Wow - what a great save from the chipper!!

Haha! Yup. We do like our bricks up here. I've only owned 2 though. I don't have one now, but wish I did.
Actually Subarus are the unofficial VT car. It seems like every other car is a Subie...

taking the truck, not going to chance it

Good choice! They look great, especially for the price!!

Would love to hear some Klischorn's....one day.....

I think it's called Chesterfield? If not... it's essentially in Richmond although it's not Khorns, it's the Jubilee. Could probably hook you up for a listen if you wanted.

1974 Vintage! Congrats.
What year is the truck?

It's a '77 C20, Mechanically perfect, paint has lots of what they like to call patina now. It was free too, Needed exhaust.

So, of course when you got them home you checked to see if/how they would fit in the Volvo, right?
How'd it go?
