No he said he used it in his living room since he bought it new in 1985 !!

You could probably put that together for $5G's but it would be close and would take a longtime.He also has the 45 deg. offsets for the throats on them.Don't know why, they are used for outdoor apps.

I would also mount those XO's outside the cabs to make use of all the internal volume as possible.I would prefer 416's in them as well.

Something you don't see everyday They are 360 Lbs. Monsters !

Yes they are 817 cabs no model # on these ! 515-16G's with 291-16,1005's with dual throats N-500-F with the matching transformers,for variable impedance. They are custom,customer ordered !

Thanks AB!

I was wondering about the offsets.... Did they do this to help make them rain resistant?

Yes with the drivers pointing down water couldn't work it's way through the horn into the diaphragm assembly.Again outdoor apps, you see them a lot on 203's and 1003's mostly ! I have some of those offsets.Model # on the off-sets is 30546.

Ditto (...or something very similar).

Figger a grand for the multicells, 300 each for drivers...and 300 each for the 515's....all of which could be bettered. That still leaves 1600 for cabs and xovers, so pretty easy to do for 5 G's. But might not look as nice....on the plus side...what was the original buyer thinking? 291? Those really need to be 288's.

Good to see you here OG!

Remember that fella(Reed Hinton) from a few years back who was a member here that built his own 817's?

For you newer members Mr Hinton took us on a pictorial journey thru his build from start to finish. His work was flawless, and the final result nothing less than beautiful to our crowd here.

Sadly, i think neither the thread or pics have survived multiple Altec board server migrations.
