    My new project

    Hi!
    Let me introduce my new project. It not finished 100%, but I already can enjoy the nice sound of Altec woofers/drivers. The cabinets are my own design and they are 40,9"(h)x24,8"x23,2"(d) and made from 3/4" birch plywood. In each cabinet I use 416Z+414Z woofers and 811B horns with 902-16 drivers on the top. Xover is 2-nd order. Woofers/driver are crossed at 250Hz and 1200Hz. 414Z is in sealed box. My first driver was Altec 806A, but it was changed to 902-16 because of better HF FR.
    Sorry for my bad English.

    Thought the name sounded familiar. I see it's been a year now since we discussed this semi- 9862 monitor concept. Glad to see something's become of it. Hope there's some measurements when it's done. (hint, hint ) With the 414 filling in, they must have mids to 'die for'.

    Hi Bfish and GM! Thanks for your good words! I do have measurements, but my attachments limit (160Kb) is over. What to do? GM, you are right, the mids are just fantastic! Anyway, bass is also very good. The internal volume is about 9 cu.ft and my LF is down to 45 Hz.

    Looks great.

    Wouldn't mind pics of the side and back to see how the horns are attached.
