Seems like it's been used so little, both by JBL and DIY. Is there a particular reason why that is? Same thing goes for the 8" neo variants, 2168, 2169, 2250...

Does anyone have experience or know of any projects using the 2251J?
I have used the 2251J, 2250H and 2169H in many projects - all in various midrange horns.
They are very good drivers.
The 2250 and the newer replacement 2169 both work exceptionally well with their CMCD phaseplus in midrange horns in the 300-1800 Hz range.
(Also check out the various PT-waveguide horns - ex the PT-K64-MHF).
The 2251J is very good in (a bit larger) midrange horns, and can also be used as an alternative to the 2123.
Maybe its role in another 43xx speaker/monitor and no one has used it instead of..the 2122/2123 in one of those builds: 4343/4345..Quote:

to that stage where you have no choice..? Firstly, what are its Specifications - besides the 'J' 16 ohm figure? and how does it stack up? Is there
going to be crossover issues?
These are the things I would look into and also to seek the Help of some of the more knowledgeable on this Forum for their input before going one way or another :blink:
