Prefabricated speaker cabinets

I am looking to build speaker cabinets for Altec 604 drivers.
Tried looking on-line for prefab cabinets kits. The one that provides precut boards and relies on user to assemble.
Any help in where to look ?

Thank you!!!
 
Take the plans to a cabinet maker. (kitchen cabinet maker) they should be able to do it for not much money...
 
Or find someone in your location maybe on here that would be willing to build a set for the right price. I built a pair of Belle cabinets for my clones in late 2017. I wouldn't think the cabinets for 604's would be too complicated for single driver ported cabinets. Aren't they similar in shape/looks of the Cornwall cabinets?

What's your location? Might put that in your profile so it shows up. Go to e b a y and search for Altec clone cabinets

I am in NYC.
I am trying to decide between these two designs.
It seems simple and straight forward.
I can approximate the size but still need details on the internal structure.
What type of an inner skeleton/support should be in there?
Where can I find similar speaker drawings?
Any help much appreciated.

Thank you!!!

Also regarding the Billfort's design, would there be a huge difference in sound compared to the above speakers?

I included the 846A Valencia drawing as the "Valencia 604" idea has enough merit so as to have materialized in at least one instance. It's an 846A cabinet with a modified baffle optimized for a duplex.

Damn! Thems be niiiiiiice. :)
 
Prefabricated cabinets of substantial size were more common back in the 50s into the 60s. On the other hand, it's easier now to find cabinets that have been gutted by people selling the drivers. So post here and Craigslist, and ask around.
