Hi,

I am hoping someone can help me out, please. I have a pair of Altec 511B horns with Altec 808-8A drivers, and I would like to build a pair of bass enclosures to set them on top of for a full range, two-way system. By design, I am torn between the looks of the Altec Model 17/620A and the Onken style of cabinet, though I have never heard either one. Thus, I am calling upon the experience of those who have heard either (or both) to set me in the right direction. Which cabinet would you choose and why?

Also, I haven't decided on which LF driver to get, but I am thinking something like the JBL 2226H/5H or Altec 411-8A. My main concern, of course, is the overall bass performance and synergy of the enclosure paired with the 511B's. Ultimate low frequency response is not my main goal.

Thanks in advance for any and all your advice/comments.

Regards,

Willy
