816 advice please

[valhallax]

i just set a sound guy up with some 828's loaded with 3156's... they rock! if you put your hand on the cab, it feels like its going to expload. lots of pressure. but the 816 has less volume and much smaller venting, of course. probably not the best driver but they work. if you look up the 3156 in the search area of this forumn you'll see thats was originally used as a br cabinet woofer. as to the actually why it might work in a mildly horn loaded cabinet, ill leave for someone else to explain

The 515 is really the best for horn loaded Altec Cabinets especially the new 515 by GPA. Although the 416 was used also . Relying on Thiele Small Parameters. The 3156 was designed to be in the 8156 cabinet; it's a resonator speaker.
