JBL 2235H in the house

[jbl]

Picked up a pair of 2235H yesterday.JBL Pro had a few pair of their latest production run. I plan to use the 2235H as subs with my present system at a later date. For now, I'll replace the 2225H with the 2235H in the 4507 cabinets.
A special thank you goes out to both Bo and Zilch for their efforts.
I hope to have time this weekend to make the change.
The 2235H is supplied with a thin rubber gasket. I don't think I'll use it. I would think that it will 'melt' over time and glue the 2235 to the baffle making it difficult to remove the woofer in the future. I'll stay with cork.
Anyone have experience with the rubber gasket?

little spaghetti gasket? Other than not always going where you think they went, I've not
had a problem with them regarding getting a good seal (when installed right), or with
removing a driver.

I think you're going to have some fun

Hi Grumpy,
Yes, the spaghetti gaskets. I didn't get the chance to fool with it yet.
How do you suggest placing them on the 2235H for the best seal?

With 4507's the hole should be the right size (can be a problem if oversize).

The gasket fits under the 2235 lip... inside the bolt-hole pattern.
Just make sure none of it slips down the hole while you're mounting the driver.

The woofer cutout was never a problem with the 2225H. The 2235H is the same basket. I don't think it will be an issue.

The cork gasket is the peel 'n stick type. Much easier than the rubber gasket.
The rubber gasket offers a cleaner look that I like. I'll try that first.

cool. what I meant about the hole size was relevant to the o-ring type gasket, but
sounds like you're good to go.
