Bill---The Altec 416s and 515s are the proper woofers; 416 is A7 and 515 is A5.These drivers both make superb upper bass and lower midrange, the very best avilable IMO. It's precisely because of these qualities that one should use 825-828 (A7) box, if not why bother? It's BECAUSE of the 416 or 515 that people use the box, you don't use it because it makes good bass (the lower bass will be down in level regardless of the driver used because of the box'es shelved response) but because WITH THE RIGHT DRIVERS it does the upper bass-midrange so well.
Play to the box'es strengths not it's weaknesses. Don't put the cart before the horse.
