Seems reasonable to me. For sure it's what I'd do.

Thanks GM. I appreciate the info.

I am ready for an Altec project... but the new (going on 3 years now :O) wife is keeping me busy with other "projects".

I should have the barn in shape for an Altec project by the end of the summer at the rate I am going. So I may be asking a lot of questions to get me pointed in the right direction.

If I ever figure out how to post pictures, I will post some of my projects over the last couple of years... non-Altec related, but still worth a look!

Well, life got in the way and other interests were more compelling so I never got around to building the MLTL enclosures that were designed by GM, the" M19.longer" that was plotted and referenced previously.
I now have 6 sheets of birch ply in the shop and am about to embark on this build. I might post a build thread if there is interest. I've built a few pairs but am always open to learn new ways so post them tips and tricks, please.

To GM: Sorry about the delay in this but they will be built and measured.

Is there anything in particular I should know about the interior cabinet construction? I plan on using the double window pane method and the bracing ideas that were mentioned, previously. I would assume that no other baffles or bracing is required?

I've also been sorting out the front baffle design and will be building that with a detachable baffle on the bottom to access the inside and vary the vent opening, should that be necesary.

Thanks for all your help, so far. I hope my efforts are worthy.

Do you really have to ask?

Lol, I guess not. Heck, there are guys that want to see what I pull out of an old tube based console so interest maybe just as high as that.

I'll post up some links and a build thread when I have dust on the floor. I was thinking of starting today but heat and work drained me right out. The dew point was at record highs, today. 90 f. and dew point in the 80's, just freakin' miserable.
