    I believe there was a period where JBL was using the 2226 (definitely the 2225) in the 4550BKA and 4560BKA cabinets in their 4672 and 4674 systems. The 2227 was a relatively short-lived driver but...

    You're welcomed to experiment as you wish. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the 2035s. They are the low-powered 2226 and built for $$$ reduction only. They use a 3" V.C. instead of a 4"

    Twisted cable absolutely has significantly higher noise immunity than parallel or worse, non-bonded cable (e.g. plain THHN wire in a conduit). It is so easy to experiment and prove it to oneself. ...

    Very nice! I wouldn't put grills on those they look so good!

    I think I see a trendy rear access hatch for the D2 as well.

    When did the JBL 4660 come out compared to Altec's VIR and VIT horns? The Altec Vari-Intense line still lives on in the Bosch/EV EVI-28, EVI-12 and EVI-15. We still use the EVI-28 in some cinemas...

    What is your need for the extra efficiency? That isn't necessarily the key to good sound. The 515-8G is a more efficient driver than the others but it at the cost of cone mass (take a feel of the...

    With respect to driver polarity, I never considered it. On mine, I have the genuine "crossover" board.

    Have you tried reversing polarity and looking at the frequency response about 700Hz?
