    Mini altec iconic?

    Hi guys, I picked these up locally over the weekend (cabs only). They look just like my Iconics except smaller. Previous owner said they originally housed a 15" bi-flex that he sold leaving with the cabs only.

    I was originally thinking about replacing the front panel for a 2 or 3-way using a 12" woofer instead of the 15". After giving it some though, Im entertaining turning one or both into subwoofers to use with my Iconics.

    A few questions if I may.

    1) Do you think It would make sense to find and put Altec or EV 15" woofers back in these instead of changing the panel to accomidate a 12". Or would the cost outweigh the benefit when used as a subwoofer only?
    2) The cabinet appears to have 5-ports as you can see by the pic. Was the 15" that was in here originally a full range?
    3) Would it make sense to block all or some of these for use as a sub?

    As Im typing this Im thinking this might belong in the Technical area. If a mod. needs to move it please do so.

    Any info on these or comments regarding my insane ramblings would be appreciated.
    thanks
