New Project with JBL's 4647 and 2445
For those of us who would not take our antique JBL's on the Antique Road Show, here is one of us, needing to build a home stereo system from the JBL 4647 (Woofer) ; boxed and the 2245 (Horns) ; not boxed
I am very new to all this-a wanna be audiophile, with tons of love for great sounding music.
I plan on making these part of my home music system. I would love your input on what I want to do.
1. Suggestions on putting the 4647 in a home-hospitable box. It's present box will never be tolerated by my girlfriend. Never.
2. I would love to do the same for the 2245
3. Suggestions on Midranges that would complement these two.
4. Suggestions on other equipments; EQ, PREAMP and methods of connections that would bring the best out.
In short, you will help me, if you would be so kind, and with your knoweldge, build my first ever decent stereo system.
Thanks for reading. I will carefully read and fully consider ALL responses. I will post pictures up and, describing and listing all information about the system. We will all look at it as having a little part of us on it; the system.
Thanks again.
Michael.

Thanks a lot for that Z.
I would soon, very soon, go get a digital camera or borrow one and have the pics up here.
I may not need to, if this added information helps out. These are pulled from the backs of the speakers.

Would you please point me to where I could get this: "inset grille (using JBL Monitor Blue grille cloth".
I am simply amazed on first, how you thought of inversing your 4647s and how in the world did you accomplish the task. You may send me detail instrucions, if you will to my E-mail or here. What is "a PT-F waveguides".
Any suggestions on gear that would complement these. Also suggestions on Subwoofers and Tweeter. Thanks for the link on Ebay.

Hi Zilch,
You're right on the ball. louped garouv's setup there is the kind a spouse/GF would tolerate. I love the wine/dark red tone (as in clour, for I've not been fortunate to be invited to see, feel, and hear his system-too young here, me thinks) Anywho! I love the tone and that's the color, it's the kind that I'm heading for.
Can someone please tell me, except if Zilch has and I missed it (By the way, Zilch, I have a text file of every suggestion and help you've provided thus far), the advantages to having the driver recessed back into the cabinet and the method of doing so. It's pretty cool, but for presentation sake and to allow my cabinets (pictures of which I'm still working on to be posted here, to be allowed in the apt/house) I may have to put the cloth that Zilch-again-bless him-has suggested :applaud: Thanks to all who've inputed on the project here titled "New Project with JBL's 4647 and 2445". Work at this stage, mainly research, continues.
Looking forward to a whole lot more help and also, suggestions on equipments; Amp, Pre-Amp, EQ's, Midrage, Tweeter, that would complement these speakers.
Zilch suggested White's 4400, among other things. I just missed one on Ebay. Not bad since I've learnt since that I would need two of them not just one.
Thanks all!
P.S It was so nice to see an E-mail from this group wishing me happy birthday on Sunday. This relationship will last :bouncy:
