2482/Not!

[Woody Banks]

In an attempt to find a mate to a JBL/ Dukane 5P360HP (2482) I purchased what was advertised as a 2482. Upon removing the back cover I noticed that the diaphragm is aluminum instead of the phenolic that I was expecting to see. Closer inspection reveals that the diaphragm screw spacing doesn't match the 2482 spacing. It appears that I have a 2440 with a 2482 back cover. Now, the ironical part of the story. I had two large JBL drivers with black wrinkle paint, the red seals intact and no foilcaps. They were sold to me as 375's. There was a noticeable difference in performance so I removed the seals and found that one was a 375 and the other was a Dukane 5P360HP. I sold the 375 and bought the 2482 to match the Dukane. Well, now I am back where I started with a pair of unmatched drivers. It does test one's sense of humor. :banghead:

I can relate. I bought a 2482 once because I had a 2440 and spare dia. I thought I'd just throw in the dia and be stylin'. That is why when people ask me what I think, I tell them I try not to, it usually gets me into trouble.:bouncy:

I sold the 375 and bought the 2482 to match the Dukane. Well, now I am back where I started with a pair of unmatched drivers. I've had a few of those situations too....eeeeek! I hate the moment of realization that you have to start all over again.:banghead:

Mr. Widget
This was part of my attempt at getting my Hartsfield clones corrected in order to market them. They eventually need to make way for a 4350 hybrid clone project I am putting together. Widget, your recent speaker project and the Westlake monitor you posted has convinced me to build columns instead of the "freezer box" that the wives seem to hate.
