Hi. I've been thinking about getting an altec VOT set up. when I asked about it on the high efficiency forum, someone suggested using the vintage components but to build a good bass reflex box instead of using a VOT cabinet. Is it possible to figure out a "correct" cabinet for an altec 416 woofer? I'd like to use it with an 802driver/511b horn crossed around 500hz. Unlike many here, I am not super concerned with the lowest possible bass; solid to 40hz would be great. I currently use a vintage 12" fr driver with a big alnico mag in a wacky homemade cab that rolls off around 55hz on the bottom and 14khz on the top, but oh the sound inbetween :^)

i'd like to bi-amp using a pair of dynaco mk iv's on the bottom and a puny SET for the top. has anyone here tried this? has anyone here compared vintage drivers using pi theory to the kits that wayne sells? I am just a retro dude in many ways so the altec gear means something special to me

by the way, wayne if you read this, I live down in norman!
