Hey guys,
What is the value of these units nowadays?
I'm thinking it's time to clear out the garage and get a car in for the winter.
Happy Halloween
I need the fiberglass for the interior of a set of Altec 9846 speakers circa 1975.
I am located in Atlanta.
Any suggestions of where may carry a similar product nowadays?
Completed the fronts today.
Got the sides, top and bottom cut and routed today.
Will do the fronts and rears plus the woofer offset on Wednesday.
I hope to have some more time over the holiday weekend to begin the...
I suspect it is in te diaphragms as I have had the good folks out in OK rebuild the 1224's and 771's a couple years ago.
I will try a swap of the amps this weekend and see if the issue moves to be...
What are my options for improving my hf response on these 9846b units.
I am running 1224/771 bi amps with a Carver pre amp.
One hf driver is down compared to the other.
Would a 902 help or maybe...
Great speakers.
The crossovers will need to be rebuilt at this age.
Best results intact found have been when they are biamped with 771 or 1224a units.
These units had one if the best response...
Have you tried the 771 bi-amp or the 1224 yet?
These were the original units for the 9846.
I have both units and they are AWSOME on these speakers.
I tried other setups including Crown...
I just got a pair of the AMT1's from Gordon W and here's my idea.
AMT1 HF 7500+
511 802-8b Mid <500-7500>
jbl 2225 woofer 500hz and below
I would build a 9846 box and run it sealed.
Now I...
How much would I expect to fork up for one in decent shape?
Has anyone had any experience adding a Model 2402H to a 511/802 combo?
How far away is Hamilton from you?
I have family there and may be able to ge a pair of 511B's tp you if you are interested.
I need grill cloth in black or dark gray for the 9846 project I am working on.
Help please.
Thanks,
Peter
I have EQ'd for the roll off and it sounds pretty damned good since I added that.
My Dad had a pair of these when I was a kid and I grew up listening to them daily. I have had several speakers including L100's and ESS AMT-1d's and decided last year to build a pair. I found a pair...
Well I found a pair of 1224 Biamps on epay last week and thought I would go ahead and remove the 771's and run seperate external amps and a crossover. This will give should greater flexibility and...
The biamp hums with no input at all. I already tried the plug flip but no success. Thanks.
Alright. It works great. I swapped out the biamps Sunday and it rocks. What a relief. The Altec amps and the VFX-2A have no hum whatsoever. The additional power seems to offer more detail at lower...
It was setup for mono and i turned it on Mon night and it plays on one channel. Ineed to get the jumper installed first I think.
I am gonna try to hook things up on Sunday and compare the sound of...
Afternoon all. Switching from 771b's to a combo of Crown VFX-2A xover to Altec 9441HF and 9442 LF. I need one jumper for the port on the back of the 9441 (it is missing) and some help to set the...
Anyone have any feedback on these as a HF amp?
I just ordered mine today.
Looking forward to the info.
Okay, I should have said experienced........
I was thinking, if my LF Altec amp has gain controls and it is 200 watts vs 100wats for the Hf Hafler then I could possibly balance it without need for...
Okay wise men,
I am changing my amp/xovers from the 771 biamps to the following:
Carver C2 preamp
Crown VFX-2A
Hafler DH-200 HF
Altec 9442 LF
I am worried about 2 things.
1. The output...
