Drastically different animals.
417 is a guitar speaker. It has a lightweight Aluminum voice coil and dust cap, which gives extended highs. It can be run full range, or crossed over to a tweeter. Mids can be peaky at some frequencies.
414 is a bass speaker with a heavier Copper voice coil and paper dust cap. Won't go as high, but has very smooth mids up to the crossover point.
My home system uses 414's crossed at 800hZ to 802's on 811's. For me, it's the ultimate. Never tried a 417 as a Hi-Fi bass speaker.
