4 or 8 point? Altec manuals show 4 point.
With the 4 spoke baskets, 4 points are critical(the 4 that are centered on the spokes) while the other 4 are more or less incidental.Quote:

Just my .02..........................
My 416b's have the gasket on the outside of the frame nibbled to accept 8 fasteners through the flange of the frame. The previous owner did this, probably to get the most positive sealing of the interior gasket to the cabinet. Since I'm a recovering wrench user, I agree with his assumption, 8 fasteners tend to fasten more securely.
Bowtie Great Advice. This is How I'm fastening my woofers on my build as I'm using 16" 416-8B's with the 4 spoke. :2thumbsup:Quote:
