Please excuse me for the necromancy of my old topic…
But, there is an internet meme that if you don’t post a picture of your supposed exploits, then how can anyone believe that it actually happened? So, please see the attached glamour shot pic (or is it just audiophile porno?) of my right channel 250Ti with the -3 driver installed, seductively lit by the early morning sunlight coming through my window…
Unfortunately, the “proper” JBL gaskets I was expecting for the -3 driver turned out to be nothing more than stupid thin cardboard type paper (WTF?). I just reused the original rubber -1 O-rings instead…
But, more concerning to me was that the -3 driver seemed to produce noticeably less bass output than the original -1 driver. So I tried some bass PEQ to try to compensate, but that seemed to only stress the drivers by pushing them past their natural response. I did NOT want to do that. I finally decided that it would probably be better to just add a powered subwoofer to shore up the sub low end… That has turned out to be real challenge though, trying to get it to blend in and work in concert with the 250Ti -3 driver. But I am making progress, and have been enjoying the 250Ti aural bliss in the meantime…
Has anyone else replaced -1 with -3 drivers? If so, what was your experience?
