Hello 4430 Owners!

For a 4430 DIY Project I need some measurements. It would be very kind if some of you could help.

a)Thickness of Horn Baffle
b)Distances from Horn to Baffle edges (location of Horn)
c)outer dimension Horn Baffle
d) Diameter and length of Reflex Ports
e)location of Bass
f)Dimesion of Pedestal, distance from outer cabinet

Thanks a lot in advance!

I tried to respond to you and Giskard, His mail box is full. I think JBLDOG still has his apart waiting for the recones. JBLDOG don't you loved being volunteered! :bomb:

Well, if Bo had a pair I am sure a pile of photos and measurements would be appearing on this thread.:)

(for those old enough to remember "Mighty Mouse")

Actually, just got the recones back and installed yesterday. But, I'm a team player, always here to assist!

:D

Let me rip into one of those bad-boys apart and I'll be back with the results.

Headin' to the "Dog-house"......

Gonna have to wait!

My tool box is at a piece of rental property I own. The 2344's are mounted with screws that have "allen" heads (is this normal?).

No allen-wrenches in the "dog-house"!!

And, thanks, Mr. Widget, I surely would! Earlier today I thought of buying a pair just to do the vivisection... ;)

Thanks for offering your help! Don't hurry;)
And don't rip them apart. Could be expensive :slink:

I have a pair of 4435 apart right now. There are a lot of simular
things between them. I would be glad to help if I could.
Let me know:D

JBL Dog,

can't you find the tool box? :duck:

Hello Midnight,

What are the actual internal and external dimensions of the 4435?

I'll post the drawings of the 4430 L-Pad baffle and horn baffle in the next day or so once I get them re-drawn. I will be taking my 4430's apart and will need to get the stock measurements drawn up before I trash the enclosures. I wouldn't mind drawing up the 4435's at the same time.

Midnight

Ok
The horn baffle thickness is 1" same as the l pad baffle.
I want to make sure we get this right.
The baffle is the piece of wood that is screw on to the box itself
between the horn and the boxe.
Pedastal is 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 (actual size) piece of wood and is mounted 3/4" away from the front of cabinet to the edge of the
pedastal. The mesurement off the sides is 1".

The 4435 are
Outside 38" wide
34" h
and 16" deep.
Inside cabinets
Horn side is
32 1/2 h
17 3/4 w
14 1/2 d

lpad side is the same
I hope this helps
Denis

So basically 4.84 cubic feet internal volume per 2234H each with a single 4.125" port x 5" duct right? So calculated Fb would be roughly 30 Hz rather than the 26 Hz as specified in the product sheet. It would be nice to actually measure them.

I'd sure like to know the DCR on the 18.0 mH (61540) and 2.6 mH (61005) coils.

Oh yes
On the horn side, they fill the upper part of the chamber with insulation, From the horn braket up.

You trash your 4430? In what condition?

Maybe this is a silly question, but why not order the L-pad board (61262) and horn board (61380) from JBL. They are priced at $6.95 and $15.85 ea. When you add up the time to drill, finish, and paint them, it would be hard to make them for those prices. Even including shipping to Europe.

Because they are NLA and have been for years. JBL isn't real good at cleaning up their miscellaneous parts lists. Never have been.

Mr. Widget
11-15-2003, 07:54 PM
That is typical JBL I guess. They claim that list was revised July 15th, 2003.
They also have a pretty screwy way of organizing it.

Can anybody check out, if the both boards are available in USA? In Germany no parts for the 4430 are in stock.

They are gone and have been gone for years. I think the boards themselves sold out in the mid 90's. The only parts left are the foilcals.

"These are the only parts still available.

61394 Foilcal 4430 (painted) $18.93, in stock

61946 Foilcal 4430 $31.68, in stock"

Thank you Giskard,

Guido has already ordered the 61946 for me, last week.

What is with your 4430? Before you kick them, you could screw out the boards...

Midnight

The boards would be easy to make. You just need to find the right rotor bit for the outside edge.

That would be no problem. A good friend of me has a carpenter's workshop and so he owns all nessesary machines. (All Boxes we had build the last time were developed there...)

The only thing is, I don`t know the right angle for the slant and I´m a friend of originaly...

Midnight

I have to get some grilles made out. I think that they should have the same angles. I will take one of the pads to a carpenter to mach the angles.
I will let you know what he needed to do the get the right angles.

Guido, Ralf,

The dimensions for the 4430 box are:

34" high x 21-7/8" wide x 14-11/16" deep

All panels are 3/4"

The L-Pad board, 2234 board, and grille are 1" thick.

Here is a drawing of the L-Pad board

Hi Giskard,

that`s a good beginning.

I have two questions:

Is there a distance between the L-Pad board and the Horn board?

On the side view of the Board is a small step with the measure of 1/8". Is these step flush fitted?

Thanks Giskard

Is these step flush fitted?The step is visible from the side, the Horn and L-Pad boards are a full 1" out from the baffle, hence the depth of the enclosure measured from the Horn board would be 14-11/16" + 1" = 15-11/16". You may notice that JBL has the depth as 15-3/4" in their literature so you might as well stick with that. What's a 16th of an inch :p They have the horn extending out from the baffle as 3-3/16", mine measures 3-1/4", so there's a 16th in the other direction ;)

Here is the Horn Board.

The gap between the Horn Board and the L-Pad board is roughly 21-7/8" minus 15-3/8" minus 6-5/16" = 3/16"

The grille measures 21-7/8" wide x 20-3/4" high (including cloth thickness on the edges) and there is a gap between the top of the grille and the bottom of the Horn/L-Pad boards similar to the gap between the Horn and L-Pad boards. 1/8" to 3/16". It would appear the tolerances are 1/16" as opposed to 1/32" but that might not be true.

The tuning is accomplished using two 4-1/8" ID ports each having an 8-1/4" duct.

It should be noted that this tuning has been termed as being "aggressive" for Home Hi-Fi use by several JBL engineers.
Their recommendation has been to tune down into the 28 Hz to 30 Hz range.

G'Day Giskard,
Thanks very much for the drawings.. just what I needed.

May I ask you to do one more bit of research before you move on from your 4430's... could you post the resistance of the inductors please?

L102 2.6mH
L2 1.6mH
L1 0.04mH
