Bubo Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I actually had one of these pull up next to me at a rest stop in N Italy in the early 1970s.

supertank Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 DIZ, you are absolutely right. All I need to do is remove 2 inches from the back of the top plate and these big boys with fit like a glove. Bubo- we built two dino's. Very hard car to find parts for. One of our customers has one he is certain he will never restore. He knows I get first rights to it. Those are great cars. Talked to ALK today about doing some crossovers.

supertank Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) Bubo- the Montreal was a 25k car for mint ones up until a few years ago. Then the prices went nuts!!! 75k plus. The TZ million plus!! Laverda- I have no idea. I am however resto-moding a 71 motto-guzzi . Making it a cafe racer. Shortening the frame, cutting the tank and things like that. making it something like this one Edited February 24, 2015 by supertank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked with a guy on the Navy Base that had a Dino, it was one of the coolest looking cars I have ever seen. Pictures don't do it justice. He never had ask a girl twice if they wanted to go for a drive up the coast or down to Sorrento for lunch on the weekend. I don't know how the Montreal's drive, but a high cool factor.

supertank Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 The montreal was really cool. To make the V8 they took two of there 1300 motors and more less fused them. The car (when set up correctly) can really go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supertank Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Oh would believe that. Ducati is known for real good documentation process. So I have a set of Altec 811'b that I want to use on my EV drivers. I will machine a adaptor plate for bolting transition, however the 811'b is shorter then the EV fiberglas horn. Is there any REAL noticeable draw backs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertank Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Also I have a set of EV ST350A tweets. Ohm value the same as in the Labs I'm building however, one of my original tweets is dead so I need to change it anyway. Any opinions on that?

Is there any REAL noticeable draw backs? The 811 horns are 800 Hz, while the original fiberglass horn is either 400 or 500 Hz. If you have a set of 511 horns, you could use them without changing the crossovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertank Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Oh, that is a substantial gap. A buddy of mine has 511's I will see if he will trade. I am having new crossover made. But I don't want to overcomplicate things. Thanks for the insight. Edited February 25, 2015 by supertank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 ooooooh..... thats gutsy thinking. The bin is 39 inches without the horn section. As for the cars. I own a european car restoration shop. So most are 50's-60's Alfa's, Lancia's, Zagato's and things like that. Sorry I did not catch the car question its hard to read sometimes. I left my glasses at the shop.

Marvel Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) What is the mid driver you have? If it is a screw on 1 inch, you can buy an adapter to use on a bolt on horn. Look at the Denovo throat adapter at Parts Express. A friend of mine had some sk horns, they rocked!

supertank Posted February 25, 2015 Author Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi Marvel. They are the original drivers (four bolt instead of the Altec two hole). The horn is 18 inches long and unsupported. So having a two pound driver on the end it a bit of a pry bar. But, sticking with a previous recommendation, I will repurpose all the components (other then tweets, they are dead and the crossovers) and I will machine an aluminum support to place under the driver.

Marvel Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Oooh, that certainly needs a brace/support. I suppose the spacing for the holes don't match up? There's enough metal on the altec horns to simply drill new holes. Bruce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
