Is the serial # registry still a thing?
If so, I have L166 #12590 and 12591 to add.

I had one recently with the same issue. I very carefully went around the diaphragm a couple of times with an X-acto #16 blade, then carefully used a sharpened jeweler's screwdriver to pry it up at...

Those are pretty cool.

I picked up a pair of C-36 last year (030 load for the curious:D), and in the envelope on the back of one cabinet was a full line catalogue that I believe is from either 1965 or 1968, years not...

I never said that 104H use an Aquaplas cone, in fact I've never seen a 5" that did. I said that I have re-used Aquaplas cones when new ones were unavailable, as an example.
I have seen plenty of new...

As far as I'm concerned, JBL cone kits haven't been worth the $$ for some time. The ones that are available (at least the ones I've seen and spent the big bucks on) are put together in Mexico from...

I can rebuild them, too.

Fortunately, the 104H is rebuildable.

Welding that with TIG would be easy. Once ground down and repainted, it would be difficult to tell where the repair was made. All of this business about it having to be machined perfectly is utter...

I just wanted to pipe in here. I have a shop in Kelso, WA where I repair electronics and loudspeakers including reconing. When I recone a speaker with aftermarket parts, even an expert would have a...

I just have a major problem with buying a product from an American company that isn't US made. Especially considering the price. It's got a Made in USA price tag, but but built overseas. In my mind...

Makes ya' long for the good ol' days of Beatrice Foods.:(
I can think of a few companies who still make speakers in the US. They'll be the ones I recommend to customers who come to my shop.

I hear ya' man. I just bought some 2235 cone kits the other day and I felt a little ill seeing "Made in Mexico" on the label. Especially for what they cost. Harman sure ain't passing the savings on...

I don't care how good the quality is. I won't pay JBL price for outsourced product. I hope many more folks will share that sentiment.
As far as I'm concerned, if they can't make their products here,...

I've got a couple to add to the list. If you're still adding #s.
L-300s
14073 & 14252

L-220A
19650 & 19827

The boost/subharmonics are for the sub.
YOU DON'T NEED A Y CORD, it has a built in bypass.

Actually, there is a switch on the back of the 120X-DS that allows you to select whether the mains run in full range or high pass. The knob on the back allows you to adjust the low pass frequency.

Wasting other people's time in several places at once. Ahhh....the power of the internet!

There are plenty of parts available in the aftermarket for that (and most other JBL) driver(s). A typical kit will contain the exact same Hawley or RDM cone, spider and dustcap and a custom edgewound...

For $600, I sure hope they have the sub included.
I have both, and I like them both, and to me they sound somewhat similar. In my 13'X17' listening room, I think I like the 212s even better than...

Yeah, I've got a 4645B and a line on a couple more 4645 cabs, so housing 2245s isn't really a problem. I've got a couple of LE14As with a line on a few more, and I have the capability to recone them...

Thanks.
I looked it up after going through the catalogs trying to figure out which driver that was when I was looking at the ad on CL. I don't understand why the guy who built these didn't use an...

I bought these from a Craigslist ad today. Weird combo of 2120, 2105 (I know, two midrange speakers) and an E-V T-35 with a ferrite magnet.
Story has it that the PO bought them from a man whose...

Every spring since 2007, there has been a gathering of audio enthusiasts living in the Pacific Northwest. I have hosted the last two of said gatherings in Kelso, and it looks like I'm going to host...

Bob sure seems like an interesting guy, and certainly a design genius, but every time one of those damned switchmode P/S amps shows up at my bench, I find myself cussing him. Apparently, he's quite a...
