    The thought of using this as a center channel occurred to me. But I have spare drivers and horns closer to what I have up front right now. Creating five channels can be really expensive when you are...
  2. Lansing 175 and Multicell - Swap Meet Find

    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...
  4. Question on packing 15" drivers for shipping

    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 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...

    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...

    :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 !!!

    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...

    Wow, look at the wood grain in those first speaker pictures. :applaud: What kind of wood is that?

    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.
