Anyone else notice that the tech links through JBL are dead? "404 Not Found" is all that comes up.

:(

Just checked again. Still not working here. Do they work for anyone else?

Looks like they changed the directory structure, and it also doesn't look like Google has indexed it yet. After a little cyber-sleuthing, here's what I came up with:

"http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/ (http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/)"

Follow that URL with the same naming convention previously used, and you eventually get there. So, for example, if I want the tech sheet for my L46's, I'd look at our reference here on the board and find out what the file used to be called. In this example, it's: l46 sigma ts.pdf

If you add the file name to the end of the URL above, then voila:

http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/l46 sigma ts.pdf (http://www.jbl.com/resources/Brands/jbl/Products/ProductRelatedDocuments/en-US/technicalsheet/l46%20sigma%20ts.pdf)

Hope that helps.

Yep, that link worked like a champ for me ... No password needed.
but, I pity the fan who has to recode all the links in the forum archives!
