Rock the Garage!

[Alien_Shore]

So I was at a local skating rink and the owner was clearing out his storage closet.... He had 2 Altec 816A enclosures that he was going to dispose of, so I gladly took them off his hands!! Brought them home, and decided this could be a nice Saturday project to get some good sounds going in my garage.

Here's a look at the first one:


Crack open the back, and very pleased to find a big honkin' JBL E145-8 in great condition:


The JBL gets stashed in a box for safe keeping. The other 816 had a P.O.S. 15" woofer, so that one goes into the "get rid of" pile.
Now I have a good reason to break out some nice woofers and put 'em in. I pulled out the Altec 416A's and install those:


Oh yeah, those things look nice in there, and no WAF to deal with in the garage!


Next up, I pulled out some 511 horns, installed those 802-8g's I found in the closet, and hung them up baseball stadium style about 10' up in the corners of the garage:



Wired everything up with a couple of spare N1209 networks and WOW....the garage is ROCKIN'!!!
