The Altec "4343"

[Robh3606]

Seriously anything on the horn?? Unique looking! Are those actual steps or stepped foam to help control dispersion and damp the horn??

I think it's this: "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

I'd be curious to hear the speakers.

The mid horn is a perforated plate lens like the jbl potato mashers.

One more with a few others....

Woofer is actually a 416-8BD. The 4343's don't run away from them by no means.

Are those a pair of LE14a low freq boxes? Is so give me the scoop. Sealed, vented, box size etc. I have been toying with a twin LE14a sealed enclosure for a car low bass box.

[jblgeek]

Yes, they are the LE14's. Don't know all the specs due to the fact that my Uncle built them. They are roughly 6.2 cu. ft in a sealed enclosure.

Thanks for the photos. Very cool. Do you know when your dad picked up the Altecs?
