Altec Lansing

A7s. Not that they'd sound that good, but if a person had the room, they sure look menacing ....

I beg to differ. The Good'ol Altec A7 cabinet can sound pretty darn good when properly built and setup.

I too beg to differ. There's just something magic about that cabinet. They don't measure well but they have something you don't hear in other cabinets. Not sure what it is, but there must be a reason it is still so popular and good for so many different woofers. For indoor use I found that I had to reduce the port in mine to about 75 in^2 🙂
 
... Any votes for the Model 19 cabinet?

Pano is certainly correct in stating that what I have are Altec 828 cabinets. I have strengthened and tuned them to 30Hz. Given his history, I am sure that Pano has more insite into properly tweaking the 828 Altec cabinet than what I do!

The Model 19 cabinet was designed previous to 'Thiele/ Small' and is actually oversize for the driver used. The 5.5 cubic foot cabinet that I described is best tuning based on the Thiele/ Small params for the Altec 416C driver.
