Altec Valencia Cabinets

[dread31]

Are the Valencia cabinets sealed?
If so, does anyone have dimensions/ internal volume,
or even a drawing perhaps? It would be sweet to build a set.

My 846A's are not sealed back and the 846B's are.

All the various Valencias were bass reflex with one type of vent or another.

Better I think to build a Model Nineteen type box and get the deeper bass it has. I mean in terms of box volume and venting not in terms of style.

The unofficial Altec forum has some threads on Nineteen type boxes and tuning.

I hate bringing up an old thread, but what's this Altec forum you mentioned? I might be in the need of cabinet plans soon...

But the plans are here:

Note: I wouldn't build Valencias 'til we figure out how to fix them....
