Altec 604 -g 416 b 811b in the same cabinet?

I do have 19's already and 604's in 612 type cabinets I like them both. I just think there must be a way too put the drivers in the same cabinet in a taller thinner type cabinet?

And I agree 2 systems one cabinet...yeah not a good Idea. For one thing when you run one set the other would be like a radiator.

Thanks for this response! It seems that I may have to build a thin tall cabinet for 416's and 811's and another cabinet that sits on top for the 604's separated but is connected some way. I think the 604's would have to be in a box that could be pivoted downwards.

Get creative. Build something different and interesting.

It could be one BIG box with isolated compartments, but gonna be hard to move around and zero value if you ever wanna sell it...I would be concerned it would fall over being thin.

Thanks for the responses and pictures! Maybe this is a bad idea? Looking at some of the newer designs of 604 based speakers like jean hiraga's and serious audio's, I just thought there was a way to place a model 19' type speaker underneath in the same box?I have no concerns of weight or height.

If I was going to build something like what you are proposing, I would lean towards an Onken W box with a 605 paired with a 416/803.

Hi,

Interesting.

I have a pair of 416A woofers and 605B Duplex drivers,and would love to build something similar.

Looking for suggestions for cabinet designs.I was thinking of a taller cabinet with similar volume as the Onken W to get the HF horn to ear level when listening.
