Wow, what a find! At today’s annual swap meet for the Puget Sound Antique Radio Association, I was very lucky. I picked up this small multicell horn with a 175 driver attached. The seller wanted...
Wow, this board always amazes me.
Thanks for the excellent advice. I called the local JBL dealer and bought the two E145 kits in advance (they will hold onto them). That provided me with two...
I recently purchased two E145 baskets, ready for re-cone.
The seller says "I will tiewrap them together in an 18X cube box." Alternatively I can try to locate some real 15" speaker boxes from a...
Well, looks we are comitted here. I hope to have the construction of this amplifier up on a web site. It is to be a blonde Fender Dual Showman "repro" with some serious upgrades (for use as a bass...
Yes, the VT4880A is another one I have been looking at, but it is much more expensive.
I wonder (not considering SPL capability) which of those two models sounds better, the SRX728S or the...
Thanks again, Zilch, and thank you John as well. This board is not only loaded with expertise, but most of us have similar preferences in speakers, like JBL.
The dual 15” might be sufficient for...
Thanks again for the graphs, Zilch. I think I will need to play around with tunings before deciding on whether to do this, and how I might do it. Perhaps this amp may not be the best for the...
I found an old JBL document recommending a 9 cu. ft. cabinet for two E145 with a 40 Hz tuning.

Looking at this from another angle, an open B...
Hi Zilch,
Thanks a lot for the curves. My eyes lit up on the thought of 30 Hz tuning (Fb?, correction: F3) until I got to the lower graph.
Hmm, perhaps I should increase Vb a tad. I suppose...
Hello,
I am working on plans for a Fender Dual Showman style of cabinet for two JBL E145, and plan to add PVC tube ports. I am estimating the box will be about 7 cu. ft. I am guessing that four...
:applaud: Wow, are those pretty horns or what? :applaud:
I hope someday to hear these speakers. I also really like the traditional JBL monitor look you gave them.
Beautiful !!!
The vintage TV is a nice touch, is that a Motorola?
Perhaps you don’t have enough subs for the volume level and the dance floor size.
25’ by 25’ is not that small for a dance floor. In the past I have used a quantity of eight 18” vented box subs...
One of my favorite things about JBL is that their speakers often have both finesse and kick-ass level. But if this is not the case with the VT4880A, I may have to keep the B460 subs and add switches...
Okay, get out the flame throwers. :biting:
Has anyone got TS parms for this 2269H woofer yet?
Hmmm, I wonder how it would behave in a sealed box. :p
At first glance I thought the Vertec...
Wow, look at the wood grain in those first speaker pictures. :applaud: What kind of wood is that?
I like the clear 077 assembly too. Nice.

Wow, $4000 to $6000 for stereo 4-way with the 366. I would really have to think about THAT for a while. I wonder if the 334t /336t have sufficient features.

Funny thing, I was just thinking about that today. I had not noticed if anyone else on this forum was here is this area. You are most welcome to drop by, PM me and I’ll give you a phone number. I...
Thanks a lot for the tip. I've been noticing a lot of discussions, and even freq. response plots of 2" JBL drivers here. I'm going to be watching for more discussions regarding these drivers.

Not a JBL find but a Lansing find, does that count?
I was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier. When we showed movies in hanger bay one, we used a cheap Bogen amplifier and two awful EV CDP...
I finally had to join a foilcal self-help group. In 1972 my 4310s arrived with wiring errors. That’s right, JBL quality control failed to catch a wiring error. As I recall the mids didn’t work at...
There are few (single band per channel) passive-crossover systems that don’t clip on loud passages. (If you don’t believe me, put a scope on it.:banghead: )
The ability to get a clean 120 dB SPL...
Back then the best 2” driver was the 2441, and I didn’t really care for it as much as the 1” drivers. It may be blasphemy here, but it might be interesting to try a pair of TAD 2” drivers. (I sort of...
(Rob asked a question about the “rig” in my avatar. This is a project I will be starting soon. )
“Big Mo” (short for Big MF :) ), is a 20-year-old sound system that is badly in need of some...
