Small Cabinet for 605A?

After some initial hick-ups, it comes out OK. I made the hole diameter according to the 612 cabinet Altec plan. Don't make that mistake. First, measure the diameter of the woofer and then cut the hole accordingly. Not a front-mount speaker, so a little large hole, you won't have enough space for mounting screw holes!

What is the best material to use for internal damping? Any suggestions will be helpful.
 
recycled denim / cotton works well. The wisdom that i saw building my boxes was put it on one of each side... so back (none on front), right (none on left), bottom (none on top).

I found a picture of an Altec 605, probably inside the original Altec 614 cabinet. The insulation is on both sides and the top, but none on the bottom. The back is open, so it can't be seen, but there probably is one.

Need to figure out the polarity of the N-1600 to HF connection and of the input connection. Here is my assumption for HF connection: "Black" is negative and Green is positive.
For connection to the speaker ports, Blue wire is positive, and Yellow is negative.
Am I right?
