Still tossing this around. I am now thinking of adding the mass ring (If I can find 2). The voice coils are of different length so maybe not a bad comprise.

Anyone know where I can buy the rings?...

Okay I have both 2245 and 2235 for music unless you are going for the pipe organ the 2245 is better for the bottom but harder to match in the mid-bass. I prefer the 2118 for mid-bass since it is...

If I re-foam would I not also want to add the mass ring ? Does anyone know how close the cone masses are between 2245 and 2240?

Okay specifically a 2404H?

Is there a compatible driver list from JBL that has listed the vintage driver and the "modern" replacement?

On ebay when you look at the item detail there is a "report item" link. Click that takes you to the reporting page....fill in the information. I reported on this item just recently in another 2404...

I am looking for only matching the low frequency range (below 100 Hz)....

Most home theater is the application.

I didn't think I could put the 2242 kit in.

Sounds like change back to 2245 and add the sub-sonic filter should be good to go....

Thanks for the input.

I have used the 2240 a lot and I don't push it pass 200Hz. I prefer to insert a 2118H or something similar to mate to a mid-range.

I have a couple of drivers that were originally 2245. I broke one over driving and the guy doing the rebuilt suggested changing to 2240 instead. My DIY box I re-tuned to match the 2240 and had my...
