Hi yeah I use a pair of Aura 1808 18" Subs with 4350's. It is an improvement. I crossover around 70hz from the 18" to the twin 15's then 250 (i think) to the HF section. So I'm triamping. I've got a...

Hope you figured out the UHF issue. I once realised there was no UHF in one of my 4343's. Thought i blew the tweeter but when i looked inside it was a simple problem: i had inserted one of the wires...
Well spotted, nice find. Thanks for keeping the thread alive
Cheers Rob, a wealth of knowledge from John and others contained within those documents.
Thanks Widget, will do. I've certainly enjoyed the journey so far. Thanks for the photo of a young John.
Six years ago I went on a 600 mile road trip with two friends to pick up a pair of 4343's. It was a fun trip :). Since then I've experimented with various front end gear, amplifiers, sources etc with...
Hi yeah I meant the O ring on the back. Though you raise a point I've never really thought about the foam gaskets that were attached to the front on my 2231H. It never occured to me they are for when...
...also i'm now suspicious of the gasket ring on the basket. Mine has gone pretty hard, I bet getting a fresh one of those would help. Are there any tricks for softening them up, or just get a new...
Yeah seal them up, I'd be keen to know your listening impression before and after. The 4343 is a great speaker and this just adds to the many things (along with getting rid of biamp switch etc) that...
Thanks. I have the cookbook which is what drove me to fix them up, quite surprised by the result. Yeah the image seems to be more sharply focused I the centre. I can explain why they would be...
Hi all,
Just thought I'd share this discovery:
The other day I noticed the dust caps on the midbass drivers (2121h) of my 4343 had started to seperate from the cone and were no longer sealed...
I listened to a Paragon at Kendrick sound a few years ago in person. I thought the bass was very good. The kick drum of this track stays with me: I could feel it deep inside my chest on every thud. I...
Thanks these look like quality switches. Not sure about the current rating I need though.
Hi all,
A while back I bipassed the rotary biamp switch in my 4343's. This provided a good improvement in sound quality. But I'm going to sell my 4343 now (now got 4350's) so I want to put a...
So I need to re-veneer a pair of 4350's. I've sourced some American Walnut. Luckily I have a pair of 4343's in factory walnut to compare with to get the finish right.
However the veneer I've...
They havent arrived yet, looking forward to it.
That's great Michael, must be rare with the early serial numbers and white woofers. I haven't read that other post in detail which says the first 50 had black baffles, but if thats true then yours...
Ok go it, yep your right. Yeah according to this old thread. The very first white woofer versions with walnut were black but there was only maybe 50 or so made like that. Then all subsequent white...
[QUOTE=HCSGuy;420264]What you have is not at all uncommon - I would guess your speakers were originally purchased by a recording studio, to go in a soffit. Hence, they didn't care about finish so...
Interestingly JBL didn't move over to the Blue baffles on its WX cabinets until probably 75 or 76. They started making
4350s in '71 so I believe all WX prior to the blue ones had black baffles. I...
Hi all, I'm about to get these 4350's. As you can see they are black baffles with a timber veneer. Obviously this pair have seen a bit of action over the years so I'll need to do some restoration or...
Thanks Richard. Agree with the belt and braces approach. It's just one of those issues where the seller isn't technically competent and I'm concerned If I ask to much of him he'll spit the dummy. a...
No, didnt see those ones. Pull the trigger, join the club :)
This is a pretty neat solution, thanks. So I guess I would need to get the seller to remove the woofers, unplug the wires coming from the crossover and place a short wire between the red and black...
Ok thanks.
