Hello
I want to build a custom JBL/Altec system and need some advice. I’m a regular visitor to the Lansing Heritage forum, and really appreciate what you are doing here.
I currently have Altec 604e’s in my listening room, and now it’s time for something else. First I wanted to build a set of JBL Hartsfield speakers, but after a good look at the drawing and all the parts I let go the idea. I do have the 2390 horn/lens combination and a set of JBL 2440 drivers. And for UHF the JBL 077. I was wanted to use a the JBL 2235 for LF, but I have not found a set yet. My uncle gave me a pair JBL k130 musical instrument speakers, and for the future I was planning to recone them to 2235(I’m not sure if this is possible). I also have a pair Altec 416-8b speakers witch I was planning to use for LF.
So this is what I have : 2x JBL 2440, 2x JBL 077 and 2x Altec 416-8b
The 604’s are housed in a 612c cabinet and for testing and experimenting I want to keep using the cabinets. I don’t now if this cabinet is ideal for the Altec 416 or the JBL 2235, but later I’m building new cabinets when the loudspeaker and crossover configuration is final.
Any suggestion what crossover I should use ?
Thanks Dirk
