Greetings and Salutations,

New member here. I was referred here by someone from another forum.
Joining new forums are always tricky. You never know what the vibe is.
But since I'm looking for some help, I figured I'd give it a shot.

I came across some cabinets with peerless kit speakers. I'm looking to
remove those speakers and put in some Altec 605a's with the N-1600-C
crossovers. I'm thinking of referencing Model 861 Cabs.
The volume is 5.2 cubic feet. After some calcs, it looks like I might need
some good size ports. I want to do the circular ports but if a vented
rectangular port is better, so be it.

One problem I am concerned about is the cabs are made out of "pressed
wood". Do you guys think some good padding inside can help with the
weak material?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Looks like I can't post photos, being that I'm a new member. May I can post the photos after someone replies.
