What would you do with an Altec 414? What size box, crossover, etc?

The specs suggest it would be best as a midbass driver crossed over highpass at 100Hz or as a woofer in a horn, with the size of the horn pretty much determining how low it can go. You should download the WinISD and HornResp freeware programs; that driver is in the WinISD data base and it gave me this answer in less then thirty seconds,

I'm all thumbs with programs like that. What size box and ports would you recommend? I'd like to make something like a VOTT, maybe even better if that's possible.

One possibility is a 2 cu ft box with a 1.5 inch length 4 inch diameter duct for an F3 of 60Hz with a bit of a bump at 70 Hz. An Altec A7 box would also do well if you have the space.
