The failed, but attractive Altec/Universitys are where I see them daily and so I hypothesize daily.
Today, it occurred to me that maybe going back to the 1.35 cubic foot cabinet I began with that caused me to love them in the first place would be the logical step before burning the boxes. Now that I know the T-S specs, the 2.5 cu ft cabinets are worthless, anyhow.
So I opened'm up and saw to my delite, as I suspected, that the window pane brace under the woofer was right where it needed to be to support a partition leaving 20" of cabinet which equals about 1.35 cubic feet.
And I don't build just any old window pane brace, kids...mine are Colonial Window Panes, which means that there's a center muntin to hold a 2-piece floor...which is necessary 'cause you can't get a 1 piecer in there thru the woofer hole! Better to be lucky than schmart every time!
Put a thick bead of silicone on the brace and another after placing the floor to get it sealed up tight. After they're dry I'll fire'm up and report back. The boxes'll probably wind up in Spkrmns garage but I figured it was worth a shot.
