Can you elaborate? I would love to discuss this further. I'm assuming you are referring to the gaps/seams between or at the flanges?

I designed my billet throat adapter to have a similar taper to...

Hi Nick thanks for the tips - I'm sure they will be of use.

I custom designed these cabinets and built them from scratch. They are quite different from the original 828 A7 design so I am probably...

I definitely wanted something exciting!!

Effort is one thing I've got. Hoping to finally put some of my NVH vivro/acoustic experience to work and tune these cabinets.

Haha yes it does. I really didn't care to adhere to the original color setlist because my pair of A7s are so different than the originals.

Yes, how rude of me to keep you waiting!

Well, what do you think guys?

Impressions are plentiful. I've never done critical listening with a fully loaded horn system before so my brain...

Aha! So I'm not the only one!

I have to say it is a great combo, although I haven't experienced an original A7 system to benchmark it to.

Right now I'm listening to only one sadly, my HF...

Ok, painting is over with.

I couldn't make them orange due to a local shortage of decent orange spray paint. Instead I chose a pure cyan blue.

Pictures to follow once I have them all...

Thanks for replying Lee.

I'd always considered an orange color, and tangerine sounds perfect.

I would probably veneer them but they are going to be in my house on campus and will be in a...

OK,

I found the paint in a can!

I'm leaning towards 'Greenery' from Utrecht Art supply....

Its great to see engineers making an appearance on sites like this! Thank you for posting!

Those are indeed, landmarks of Altec history from what I've read around the 'net.

I know these are...

The correct and most widely used 15" is the Altec 416 I believe. As far as the lower 18" I have no idea... These aren't my speakers I only like the color! :p Due to my in-college-hardly-any-fun-money...

Hello everybody,

I am fast approaching the end of my Altec A7 build (have a look at my progress at THIS PAGE) and am having trouble deciding on what color to paint them in.

I know they were...

I agree with this - the flange introduces a terrible load path into the horn flare. However, this could be remedied with simple ribs that connect the flange to the actual horn geometry.

Everything has a failure mode, the unknown is the force value! :p

Hey guys, this is a response to the topic of 2360 horns in Ohio.

Just wanted to let you know that Eric at DIY Sound Group no longer has any. I was just there Saturday evening to pick up the last 3...
