Model 19 Cabinets

Only 550 miles away in Kansas City. I've got the 416's just need the horns, cd's and xovers. Those would need 802g's?

902's would suffice.

416-8B and 802-8G would be the preferred load, particularly in terms of resale value.

Do it, I don't need anymore broken stuff and don't want to spend $500 in gas to collect it and really piss off Wifey.

As much as I love my A7's, I also love my lowly Peavey T300's and although compression horns are lovely, so are paper cone mids and some sort of super tweeter. You could always get a couple of CHEAP 6" mids, and a slug of Piezo's and rock the world, latter upgrading to the high brow stereo aficionado Altec stuff.

Yes--802-8G's, 811B horns (which are relatively easy to find used at an inexpensive price), and the crossovers are also very inexpensive to build--schematics are available online...... 550 miles--what is that an 8 hour drive? You've already got the 416's and he'll probably take a low offer on the cabs--go for it! I drove 6 hours each way to get my second pair of Model 19's and I definitely would have gone a couple of hours further.....

I see these cabs sold for $100. Did you buy them badtoby?

Yes, now I have to pick them up. Just what I need another project. Still working on the A7's. I need to get moving

NICE!!! Glad I posted these now, and especially glad that one of our members will not only keep them from going to the dumpster, but will "soon" be enjoying the sound of Model 19's. Please keep us informed of your progress--before and after photos would be great! Before photos might make some members here cringe (myself included), but I bet if you post any after photos will be a whole different story. I'm sure there are members here who could give you tips on new veneer etc.......

PS The best $100 you ever spent, IMHO......

I was looking at the GPA web site and did not see any 802g's have they stopped selling those? Will post photo when I get them (the cabs). Trying to calculate the amount of veneer I will need so I'll know if I can afford something exotic.
