Guy had this big pile of trash in his garage with a speaker box on top that caught my attention. I was thinkng of putting some Eminance 8" prosound drivers for monitors for my kid's band in some medium size tossaway boxes when they showed up.
Well, what showed up turned out to be a pair of JBL L-19's that had been plastic laminated with dark grey P-lam and had wall hooks screwed on the back and rotted surrounds and still had the baffles intact.
I read some favorable reports here on the L-19, but the LF driver 116A, construction looks wimpy to me. (I don't really know) So I can get the surrounds and fix them up for $25, or stick the Eminence drivers in and use them as monitors as planned. What do you think?
Should I save these speakers, or call them a loss and plug in the eminence units and perhaps chop the boxes into wedges?
Can the crossover handle some real power?
Here is the eminence unit.
