Ron, these were a full range musical instrument speaker and used by many amp manufacturer’s for instrument application. They are regarded up there with the old JBL D-130, EV-15L. They’re response are quite similar but I believe the handling capacity is better with the EV and AL. At the time, Jim Webb offered (3) diff speakers for his amps/ext cabs and AL was one of them. Not sure if a value but looks like a “unique” cab with the port. I’m not sure what amps Jim was pairing this cab up with as I have only seen one other with side port. It looks pretty good size in the pics. Many are moving toward the lighter weight Neo’s to reduce weight.

Great speakers. More power handling than early JBL’s.

Not light. Had one in a brown Vibrasonic. Great sound.

Here's some info on the raw speaker.
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/4734/Altec-418-8h.html#manual

I doubt that was used as a steel or a guitar enclosure. Looks more like it would be used for bass or pa.

You can search on ebay under Altec 418-8H Series II for some prices on raw speakers..
