Thanks for the info. Would you leave the crossover frequencies as is if you made the LE120H-1s front firing?

Also, to anyone who has heard some or all of the following - how do the L7s sound...

I'm not sure I haven't really looked at the design of the original crossovers yet. This is kind of an impulse project because of the availability of these drivers but before I went for it I wanted...

That is the direction I'm leaning in right now. I think I probably want to have the LE120H-1s face forward instead of side firing though. The crossovers from the L7s are gone already so I need to...

Cone and domes, I'm actually considering purchasing the rest of the drivers from the L7s to use for this build. The cabinets for the L7s are badly damaged unfortunately. I've got a pair of 104H-2...

Ok, based on the recommendations from this thread and what parts I'm most likely to find my short list is now:

2235H
128H-1 or LE120H-1
2214H-1

or possibly 2225H

I know a guy who is...

Thanks for the input. I see a lot of threads on here discussing the 2225, 2235, and 2226 but typically the application is a sub in a home theater. Since these speakers won't be doing home theater...

What would be the best 12" or 15" JBL speaker choices for the low end of a "hi-fi" system meant only for listening to music (no theater duty)? It will be playing a wide variety of music, including...

I just picked up a pair for a project I'll be starting soon, I was going to go with 2235s but got the pair of 2035s for $100. Too damn cheap to not at least try them I can always get something else...

thanks for the info, I may look into getting the 2435HPLs. What do you think of the 5" cone type midranges like the LE-5 or the 104H? Would these provide good mids assuming I build a 4-way with...

I'd like to spend a max of $250 each for the midrange drivers. I can spend more if I need to but only if I really need to.

I like to play it loud but I'm not overly concerned with that because...

Ok, thanks for all the responses so far I've been away for a few days and unable to get on. Answers for the questions above:

1. A pretty wide variety, mostly house and other electronic music or...

Ok, so my dad is a long time JBL nut and even went as far as building his own Paragon back in the late 1970s. I’ve built a few speaker boxes with him over the years and would now like to build what...

hmmm interesting idea, I may go that route. Buying the amp is probably going to limit me to one SUB1500. What is the minimum number of watts you could drive these with, and what is the ideal...

My dad has a vintage Marantz 300DC he isn't using that I can have to drive that sub if I want it. Would that be ok or should I be driving it with a modern amp?

Thanks for all the input, I think for the time being I'm going to go with one (maybe two if I can justify the cost to the wife) SUB1500. I already get complaints about the floor upstairs shaking...

How does the 2235 compare to the 2226 and the SUB1500?

The SUB1500 looks attractive to me because of its performance in a fairly small enclosure. If I went with the 2226s I'm going to have to...

Low frequencies for home theater as well as music. I currently have two 3 way boxes with 10" woofers and need more low end power. Overall size of the system is a concern, my dad has a JBL Paragon...

:D while that would be ideal I can only find one sub1500 to purchase. How is the 2226 for this application? Would I be better off getting the SUB1500 to use now and hope I run across another for...

Would you choose one sub1500 or two 2226JPL for a home theater setup. I can get the two 2226JPLs for the same cost as the one SUB1500. Any opinions on which would be better and why?
