After 20 years of very light usage, one of my beloved 4412 Studio Monitors started popping. I took off the grill and put my finger on the speaker and it stopped popping. What is your advice? Is there a specific woofer that you recommend?

I don't understand why nobody can answer this question.
It's not that no one can... this isn't a customer service desk. Did you call JBL pro?

...probably looking at a recone to fix this. Does your amp dump DC current into the speaker output; I would get this checked out to make sure any possible electrical cause of the problem is eliminated first - before a repair on the woofer(s) is contemplated?
....In any event, fixing just one driver in a pair is not a good idea. If you have a woofer that needs to be re-coned, "fix" both drivers in the pair at the same time. This is standard procedure. JBL OEM re-cone kits may be hard to locate. If that is the case, you are looking at trying to find a used pair of matching woofers in good working condition.
Most knowlegeable people here would avoid non-JBL aftermarket recone kits for this any any other JBL drivers.
Thanks for the advice!
