    18" woofer cabs

    I was at a local thrift store earlier today and I saw what I think are altec cabs for a 18" woofer. They are 36x29x18 with two 5" ports above the woofer. The cutouts for the XO's were on the lower sides. Didn't think to take photos. Can anyone ID these from my description? $22.99 each no woofers just the cabs.

    Doesn't sound like and Altec cab. These are the 8000 series cabs,the 8182 and the 8184 being the 18" woofer cabs.

    That's pretty cool. Is there a clearer copy somewhere? I was fooling around with cab dimensions earlier and was coming up with something in between the 8154 and 8156, but deeper and about 8.0 ft3 internal volume with a 6" port x 2.5" deep. I want to get the height around 33 in order to get the center of the 811 around ear level. I was thinking 25" wide, 33" high and 21" deep OD. Including the driver displacement and 3/4" battens I get 8.0 ft3 exactly.
