They do look very nice! Symmetrical waveguide and all;) If the sensitivity was a bit higher I would consider making a pair to replace my old rears in my HT set-up. Might borrow the waveguide to use with a more efficient woofer.

I should look at that vs. the deeper 8" sq guide to go between my 228J's
(a bit less space between them) 2414H is what I was able to get anyway.

Nice packaging :)

I'm also doing some non-JBL alternatives, and may post a couple of pics as they are completed. I'll just provide links to details elsewhere, though, so y'all don't kick me out.... :p

You got to love the distributor mentioning "Watts RMS" when the manufacturer correctly states "Watts average"

Gives me a rash :banghead:

I love B&C drivers, I have a couple of them and they deliver.

That combo will fit in the TW-0.38 cuft. cab, I believe.

They also have a new 0.75" compression driver that may mate up with the vintage 2404H mini-buttcheek horn:
