omg Ro808 a 10.5 ft3 boxz ifs fricken huge!!!!
Size is relative I guess, at ~30 ft^3 these were 'fricken' huge before chainsawing ~10 ft^3 out of them: GM with Altec '''sub''' | GM210 | Flickr

Hmm, lowest is 700 Hz, so not in the same league as 500 Hz Altec/GPA, so guess an XO point needs to be spec'd.

Personally, I'd (like to) try this one... on the MRII 594 and many other horns.
Changes are, it would work well. At least, it's also got a radial phase plug.
The specified 700Hz minimum XO freq. (for PA) translates in 500Hz, probably even lower, at home.

I 'grew up' with 350, 500 Hz and the M19's 1200 Hz sound like mush mids to me, but is the most popular Altec by far, so what do I know. 
I mean seriously; listen to one with the horn disconnected, to me it's kind of like listening to an old upright washing machine sloshing with a max load.

No, these were once ordered by a local audio engineer/entrepreneur and inherited by his business partner/friend who builds custom cabs.
So far I haven't been able to ID the manufacturer.
These are well made fiberglass horns, somewhat similar to Community.
They look similar, but identical, to some of the bigger EAW horns.
About 30% bigger than the horn on top of the stack in the first image and probably closer in size to the mid/high horn of the MQV 1394e in the 2nd and 3rd pic.

Yes, circa 2003 IIRC and guess I look that way because I 'are' one since age 12, though never in a club/gang/whatever nor can actually ride unless it was a three wheeler [gag] and much balder and pretty much 'dirty' white beard nowadays.
Apparently my looks haven't changed much though, I was at a birthday party for a 95 yr old friend the other day and a couple I haven't seen in 22 yrs were openly shocked that I didn't look much different WRT skin, etc., wise.
Summers here are so freaking hot/miserable due to high humidity [heat index was 102 degF today] that I wear a Van Dyke half the year.

Here is his measurements, the resistance and the reactance are out of control under 530hz... and it is a 200hz horn.
