Well folks,
I had asked about a z19 on my Milaon's because I was already building them. Here are a few pictures of what I am building them for. I got the cabinets for virtually free - they need some tlc for sure. The horns came from ebay, and the 921-8a drivers I got from AK over a year ago.
I thought it would be easier and better to build a fresh crossover than it would be to find the correct vintage crossovers. As to the compression driver for the 511b horns, all I currently have are a set of acoustician 2425h drivers. These are a direct clone to the JBL's. I am going to try them, and probably use them until I can get enough funds together to buy the correct altec drivers.
As to the finish on the 816a cabinets, I am seriously looking at stripping, filling and then veneering them with either maple or walnut. The horns are going to be bead blasted and then powder coated a hunter green
The crossover will be built and placed on the back of the top of the bass cabinet next to the horn and left exposed. The picture of the crossover is where it is at today, but by no means complete as yet.
Any thoughts?
Oh, any reccomendations for stands or feet? I think they need to get up off the ground about 10 to 20 inches.
