32c/802 build

[gortnipper]

Hi - I am considering a build around 32C horns with 802-8g drivers and am looking for input on a couple ideas for use with single ended amps.

One option would be using 414-8b woofers in a Shindo Petite Latour clone (or similar). They are 183 liters net - height 120 cm x width 45 cm x depth 45 cm with a bottom port. Upside of this is midrange performance, but downside is lack of extended bass.

The other ideas would be a 9849 build, but that would wholly depend on finding a good quality 411-8a pair for a reasonable price.

Or an A8 build.

I currently really like my GPA 604-III in 10 ft3 cabs.

Thoughts?

9849-8B used a 414 woofer iirc. I have a pair with the bent horns. Should say I have the boxes, horns, crossovers but no drivers.

I don’t suppose you live in Oregon?

Pretty sure he meant 9846, given the 411 mention.

Keep in mind that 411's LF extension comes at the cost of lower sensitivity.

No free lunch.

I guess I got my model number wires crossed.

No compression drivers for the horns?

I am from Seattle, but have lived in New Zealand for the past 18 years now. I have a NZ PO drop in Portland.

I gave the mint 414-8B’s to a buddy. Mistake.
I have one mint 414-8E, prob never find a mate.
So I put the HF drivers in my M19’s. Alnico, tangerine, like an 802-8G but slightly weaker magnet. Unique. Bowtie knows more about them than I do.

I noticed you were in NZ in another post. Too bad you aren’t close.

I have a pair of 9846-8A as well. Disassembled. Sadly no cones in the 411’s.

The 9849’s sounded quite good. I never got to hear the 9846, they were in sad shape.
