    414C in Phoenix

    16 ohm, but I doubt that's a biggie, I can think of a zillion ways to deal with that

    seems like a reasonable price

    I was concerned about the back vent then remembered the discussion about a disc glued inside to block it off.

    They do have the proper front vents it appears...

    Obviously ain't mine. Wouldn't mind them being mine...

    Altec 414-16's

    Pretty sure those are E's with the cast/rounded back plates.

    I think Analog Addict is their new owner, he was after them last i knew anyway.

    While the lettering scheme doesn't jive with the 416's, the "C" version of the 414 uses the stepped alnico motor of the 416-8B.

    The flash has pretty well washed out the print on the foilcal, but that's a 414-8C from 9849.

    FWIW, much akin to 515E's and 416C's, i have seen both flat magnet and curved back plate versions of the 414E's

    Re: 414C in Phoenix

    Just a matter of wrapping up the deal. The current offer from the seller is $100 plus shipping, but I am trying to tempt him with possible trade bait to reduce the cash outlay.

    Reasonable in either case?

    Anyway, the only plan I had for these was a possible frankenspeaker based on a set of EV aristo's. I have 2 Aristo cabs with the SP12B's smaller magnet full rangers in them. I traded awhile back for the complete set of drivers and X-overs out of a set of Klipsch Heresy's, and was now thinking about using these woofers instead of the Heresy woofers.

    Thoughts? suggestions?

    I also have a set of EMIT tweeters available, some Frazier horn tweeters, and of course, some 511's with either 908's, 902's or if I get them rephragmed, a set of 802D's....

    My thoughts:
    klipsch components................ ick!

    Altec woofer w/klipsch components................ sacrilege!

    My suggestion:
    2-way system similar to the ones Altec used them in. I can provide you with a component list and we could figure out a wiring diagram to clone the 32343 crossover network if you decide to go that or similar route.
