Skywave,
Thank you for the explanation of the 2.5 concept; I am still trying to wrap my mechanically-minded brain around it. Do you get some bass interaction (boost?) from the now somewhat passive...
I am following this thread with great interest though I do not have the electronic and acoustic technical expertise of you guys. I hope that in the end someone (Zilch, Skywave) would write a short...
Skywave,
Nice looking crossovers. Though I do not have any input, I am watching with great interest as I have similar speakers (Malibus) and also plan on making a 9844 clone. Some have suggested...
I believe you can use frequency equalizers for this and fine tune what frequencies and how much to attenuate/boost. I am considering this route with my Altec Malibus down the road a year or so.
Art: The 9844 is closer to what I was thinking about. I know it used the same components as the Malibu.
Zilch: I will be the first to say I do not know anything about speaker design (yet!) so my 1st...
Thanks for the reference. The given enclosure dimensions and given resonant frequency of 30 hz would indicate a port size of about 40 sq-inches. Also, according to the reference, "The location of...
Art,
Yes, correct. And the sides of the opening are wider than the horn flange leaving another gap.
I will figure the area out, BUT, "why did they do it this way?" It seems a whole lot easier to...
I will get the port size for you in a day or two. They are all closed up at the moment but I want to check the drivers for "goo" migration. The port opening is a bit 3-dimensional because it is...
This is a poor picture of them in the living room where they will not get to stay. I will be moving them to the basement rec-room and using them in my home theater/audio set-up.

I just picked up my new Malibu's. I was a bit worried since I bought them site unseen from Craigslist but they are in almost perfect condition. A few water spots and a couple of small veneer chips...
My room is already too small, I'll need to build a bigger house....and perhaps put my wife into speaker re-education camp as a speaker should be heard and not seen. :) My room is about 14 feet deep...
I should be getting the 414As any day now but my research shows that the 414s and the 414-16Cs that are in the pictures weigh almost identical at about 15 lbs each. I am also under the impression...
I'm listening!
Thanks
I have asked this question on another forum but I wanted to get a more definitive answer. I am new to Altec speakers so please bear with me. I am putting together a version of a 9844 and have a 406a...
