  1. Anyone ever seen a degaussed JBL 2241H (18")?

    I have a JBL 2241H here, that I'm trying to sort of build a "frankenwoofer" from. Got someone who wants a woofer with the response of a 2245, but with the power handling of a 2241.

    We got the...

    Hi sebackman/ RoB- do you have the factory part number for the horn from the VTX F12? I'm trying to find them here, but can't locate anything without that number.

    Thanks!

    Regards,
    Gordon.

    I agree with this assessment. All 2225s I've seen, at least for the last two decades or more, have had Kapton formers. I suspect that is either a Waldom or Chinese recone for 2225.

    The 2213H kit does have a longer voice coil winding (by about 1/8"), but it will center up in the 123A gap fine.

    From my experience, it makes no audible difference, in practice...

    Yeah, if I had those cabinets, I'd be swapping LE5-2s in as mids, 2214Hs in as woofers, and make up some L100T3 or 4412 crossovers. Basically, MAKE a "true" L100T3 out of it. I'm guessing the tweeter...

    If the driver needs to go up to 800 Hz, you may find that a mass ring may work better than aquaplas, since it will affect the high-frequency behavior of the cone less.

    That's kind of a rigged-up hybrid.
