Very popular altec, the model 19. I would definately go with the 416
for that one , as the woofer is straight bass reflex. I love the A-7,
I have the later 828 cabs with the sealed flares. BUT.. they are gigantic! with that in mind I have collected a pair of JBL 2225h and a pair of jbl 2425h. With these, I can build a 4PI, much smaller at 28x18x15 or there abouts. Also,with these drivers could do the 7PI, and with addition of the midhorn, the 3way PI7. I am trying to find time to build the boxes, and just can't, so now I am looking for a cabinet builder in the Kansas City area. ( Yes, I am fully aware that all our sports teams are sucking deluxe). How is a larger board easier for us older guys to surf on? Not doubting, just know nothing about surfing. The house where I stayed in Costa Rica was located at "Beaches of Nosora", very close to the ocean, and there were several boards there, seems like they were around 7 feet or so, and very "pointy" on the ends. Man, do I ever miss that place, I need to go back bad. If I hadn't had a house full of pets back home, I think I would have abandoned it and the practice of law and become a bum. I continually met people who had done precisely that. What a place!
The day I left I was lamenting to some local expats who smiled and said, " that is not our problem" " It doesn't have to be yours"
surfing in my mind,
Russellc

Might run into one another over there! The short Pointy boards are more manueverable and quicker to respond. But they are more dufficult to control. The big boards are slower but easier to stay up. I agree, the JBL's are a big plus in terms of enclosure size. And of course the Pi 4's are great. It's a tough call. Too bad we can't have both.
