    ZILCH-

    you have replied to a post from my brother (amphead4) at audiokarma. he lays out my dilemma and equipment. i am very willing to follow your expertise. i can sell off the tweets, the 811s with the 808a drivers to partially finance the project. I cannot find the QSC 152i waveguides or the cab plans.
    Thanks for your help.

    Keyword "4507" or "4647" will turn up dimensions, possibly both here and on AK. There have been a couple of builds, but most have found them used, often with 2225H woofers in them, which may be used as-is or reconed to 2234/5H.

    The factory vinyl can be removed with an iron and aluminum foil -- it just kinda shrivels up and off -- and they may then be refinished or veneered. There's a small (1/2"?) recess in the front to accept a grille, and the same recess at the rear.

    152i will fit in the available space on the stock baffle, as I recall, but confirm. I'll have to unpile a bunch of stuff here to verify that myself. It may also be necessary to relocate the 2x4 crossbrace inside to clear the waveguide; nobody's checked that yet....

    Yeah, those....

    The answer is "Just." The brace is behind the waveguide flange:

    QSC 152i waveguides

    If I haven't asked enough, what are the exact dimensions of these waveguides?
    I think i have found enough info to reproduce the 4507 cabs.
    I have a friend that is a little reluctant about the two-way set up using these components,especially with the lower Hz of the DE250 being 1k. I believe he feels that it is asking too much of the 416-8A.
    Your knowledge and opinions are needed and welcome.
    Thanks

    QSC 152i is 14" x 10".

    Z19's acoustic crossover is ~1.2 kHz, same circuit as Altec Model 19, basically, which used 416-(8B?) woofers. We're building an updated version of Model 19 here, with a modern waveguide and the compression driver used by Geddes, Parham, EconoWave, and others for similar quality 2-ways.

    There are decidedly few who would assert that Model 19s suck because 416 can't competently play this high....

    For sale

    No, I am sorry they are not for sale. i have a buddy that's house is full of horns, drivers and coned speakers. if you tell me exactly what you are looking for i can see if he has them.

    Mr. Zilch-

    I have been looking for technical data for the 152i waveguides have been unsuccessful. If you have the polar patterns, i would love to see them.

    Thank you to all.
