Oh wow these are gorgeous! Well done! I was planning to do the same at one point with my 604-8g, but had a baby and had to step out of the game for a minute. I'm curious - where did you land on box volume/tuning/port arrangement? Did you use the bottom firing vent and ~Shindo dimensions? From...

Apologies for the delay @Audionut. I read your response and saw you had '603b.' Rereading, I realize you probably meant to say you have 803b. That could be interesting, especially since I'm using Iconic replicas. I'll shoot you a PM.

Well, I'd been holding off on starting a thread about it, but might as well.... I'll put it in High Efficiency.

I wanted 416s + cash for my 604s. Never thought I'd do it, but I'm probably gonna sell the 604s outright. What it is is, I went and listened to big horns and large format drivers again Woody, when I know'd I shouldna....

Anyone have a good condition pair they're willing to let go? Any interest in a partial trade for GPA'd Altec 604-8gs?

Mouser has them - and Digikey too I believe. EDIT: Mouser (part no 5984-940C30S1K-F) is apparently out of stock. They're colloquially called the '940C'.

I haven't tried the KBGs, but they're on my list to try next for a 2 way project. I've had good number of 4uf GE 97f motor run caps for a few years now... probably 30 or so. I've usually just used those to series/parallel my way to whatever value I need. It occurred to me you may have been...

Really looking forward to hearing your impressions of this build! I've got an empty pair of Iconic replica/612s in the garage, and a pair of Gauss HF4000 large format drivers I'm thinking I want to incorporate. Nothing set in stone yet, except the cabs!

Just got the RCF N480 (phenolic)/RCF h3709 combo hooked up on the Boleros, and wow... very impressive. Whether through the stock network or with the 406-8y run wide open, this RCF iteration retains the characteristic big Bolero sound, while adding a lot more HF information and energy. The RCFs...

I haven't forgotten about the Bolero experiments - just slowed by my 3 month old daughter. I've also been distracted playing with a pair of Cetec Gauss HF4000 large format compression drivers I got for next to nothing. I'll start a thread on those soon.... suffice it to say I'm a fan and I'm...

It would take some really compelling evidence - anecdotal or otherwise - of the superiority of 20 cu ft cabs for me to consider something that big. What I was hoping to find by starting this thread were impressions - whether good or bad - from folks who have owned or heard 604s in cabs bigger...

Any listening thoughts or updates on this build you care to share with the group? I'm thinking about something somewhat similar 15"+ large format Cetec Gauss HF-4000 compression drivers. Love to hear your thoughts on the crossover/notch filter/autoformee as well. Hope you're enjoying them!

I've got this so far...purportedly for the 8Y. I've never measured T/S before. I understand it's not terribly difficult... I've either got, or got access to, the hardware to do it. Pic from an old diyaudio post from 'GM', who went on in the thread to recommend a 7 cu ft TL enclosure for the 8Y.

I wasn't really planning on doing this, but as fate would have it, these empty cabs showed up here a few weeks ago. I think I have T/S parameters for the 406-8Y around here somewhere....

Beat me to it!

This is impressive. I'm about to check the link you posted.... but were you happy with the sonics?

B-b-but that would mean sticking with what I've got, and then what would I have to do with all my spare time - play records? Kidding aside, there's a lot of validity to this. It's been a while, but I've spent some time in WinISD looking at box volume on the 8g, and I remember the seeing the...

Really cool. What did you think about 'em?

Here's what got me thinking about 604s in Jensen Imperial cabs. Notice the cute little Model 19 barely in frame on the right.
