    Cabinet Design for Altec 605b

    Howdy- came into some 605b Altec Duplex speakers and plan to build some cabinets for them. Looking for any input on design, style, dimensions, cubic feet- just about anything to ruminate on before I get serious. Appreciate any and all. Thanks Jackson

    Does anyone know the specs for these drivers?

    Just as the title says, I have this pair of 10” akai woofers that I’m planning to build cabinets for this summer but I’d like to know what volume the cabinets should be to get these to behave more like subs. They will be run off the B channel speaker output on an akai AA1040 to round out the...

    Stereo cabinetry with modest record storage

    My wife suggested bringing my stereo gear downstairs, in the living room we had redone, but I was concerned about the cats causing trouble. I told her cabinetry would be the best solution. I started designing the cabinetry, but that (and lack of time) eventually led me to tearing apart and...

    Weird Fisher 500

    Hi, It's my first post here (just to let you know) :-) I have come across a rather weird looking Fisher 500 receiver that I'm thinking of buying. The thing is that the cabinet has carvings that I can't seem to find on any other Fisher 500 T. Does anybody know of it? Is it perhaps a 'fake'...

    Never Before Seen, the Ultimate Record Storage Porn – the Rotating Record Cabinet

    I’m an avid collector and like most… we get married. And when it comes to collecting and being married, us collectors are the ‘Fever Pitch’ movie equivalent of Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, who also wrote Fever Pitch, but when you get married it becomes more about aesthetics than it does function...

    Werner Jagusch Crossover Schematic?

    Hey AK I purchased some custom solid teak speaker cabs that already had a Werner Jagusch 2-way XO installed. They were bought to accommodate my Altec 288-8G and 515B drivers. I had a buddy come over with a directional mic, pink noise generator and some software installed on his laptop to try...

    I am building a new set of cabinets using all the drivers, crossovers etc from a set of vintage infinity RSb speakers. Does anyone know the volume of the enclosure behind the midrange driver? I am starting with scratch and don't have an actual example to work from. Also, since everything will be...

    Infinity Kappa 9's - Goes against core design principals?

    Hi Audio-heads! Just got my hands on the original set of Kappa 9's I bought new in 1992. It's a long story, however the previous owner traced them back to me and the vintage audio-head that I am; I had to buy them back. Anyway, here's the bend... As its been posted correctly, these speakers...

    Electro-Voice 12TRXB or 15TRXB based on Cabinets?

    I have a pair of vintage well built speaker cabinets that were made to close specs of a similar Altec cabinet. Currently, the cabinets are loaded with a Full-range Coaxial 15" type Stromberg-Carlson speakers from the early 1960's (chrome frames, red cones). Unfortunately, I blew one of...

    HPM 100 Cabinet Rebuild

    Love em' or hate em', in great condition they sell for a profit. I've wanted a set for a while and scored them at a pretty good price, but the cabinets are shot. Normally I'd just take a set of rough cabinets and clean them up, but there are small chunks missing from these cabinets, so I'm...
