    Altec A7 + ported cabinet

    wanted to know what you guys thought of putting a TAD 1601B in a ported box below the A7's shown in these pictures:

    two stacks like this with 2441 on a 2390 lens and 2405 tweetrs:

    another two with bigger 2395 horns
    and I'd be relocating these subs that's under one of 'em:

    a photoshopped pic that shows all 4 main stacks - but looks a bit odd 'cos it's bent round in a panoramic view

    and one of the monitor stacks, might squeeze a TAD cabinet in here too, maybe lose a sub

    if i need to alter the dimensions of this sub can i do so by an inch as long as i keep the internal volume the same?
    if i can't do that way then i can make the box bigger but add a sheet of ply to one of the interior surfaces to compensate?

    thanks for any help

    btw the A7's have Altec 515 8GHP in them at the moment, i was gonna swap em for TAD1601B's... but I did try and I just can't lose that upper bass detail in the original drivers, which is a shame as the lower bass on the TAD1601's in the A7' is smooth and STRONG, if only I could have my cake and eat it.

    thanks
    tom

    PS - this is kind of like a big room in a house crossed with a really small night club.

    nice floor... definitely the highest quality finish on any bit of woodwork in the room!

    Or, maybe maybe I could build these... if there were some designs for the TAD loaded cabinet as shown in this picture:
