Hi all,
I've been looking about quite a while now for plans along the lines of this cabinet - but as I can't even find out the model number, find a plan is proving a tad challenging!
Does anybody by chance happen to know either the name/code for this design, or better still a source of similar plans?
Grateful in advance.....

Fantastic and uber quick - thank you, model number and sample plans with 5 mins! Right, off to source sample drivers and size/price up the number of boards....
Thanks both,

Have two of these original Altec boxes with 15" LOMO loudspeakers 2a-20. They sound great, but not for a drumm&bass party. Perfect for low bass applications and if needed they go down to 50Hz with your clothes shaking.
If any more info required, send a message :) Edited by rasto - 05 March 2011 at 11:07pm |

Looks like an old Altec A-7 or knock off thereof.
