805 horn dual throat adapters?

Hi,

The 803 and 805 are for use with one driver.

You will still need adapter.

Please see chart below.

I think convergence is 100% correct. If you want 2 drivers you have to go to the 1005 multicell.

Here is a simple question:
Did Altec ever make a dual throat adapters for the 803 or 805 large format horns?

I've searched the forum and browsed the Lansening Hertige site and have seen no refrences to any.
It is probably overkill in a domestic situation but, I'm interested in getting a set if they are available.

thanks Dwayne

I was just looking at the 176 pound 1803.

Let's see, add a pair of 288G at 30 odd pounds each- My poor back! forums

If anyone asks why multicells are not used for touring...

Apparently this was always the case; read the text of this Altec Lansing catalog from 1943...

Basically the same story in the Lansing bulletin from 1936...

Thanks for the replies.
Alas, I had a feeling that dual throats for these horns didn't exist. I have the 805B and extra drivers. I'll have to be content with using what I have,... for now.
Keep on Tweakin'

Here's some inspiration for a possible 16-to-1 DIY adapter (see photo # 15) at;

Dwayne I left you a PM.

Just for info there are dual 1 inch to 1.4 adapters. Not saying good or bad, just saying they exist.

I know Paudio made one, their website is down. I know they are still in business, not sure what happened.
