Posting because I'm a little confused about this. I'm a guitar player lookin for that fender with "bells" sound. I found a pretty decent deal on a D130 locally and had a few questions. There is a picture of the back of the cone showing the serial number 21057 stamped in white. I read somewhere that this was an original JBL cone serial number or something. The speaker looks to be original, after a month comparing prices and trying to find something it's been getting easy to see the obvious recones or at least the ones that didnt use JBL parts, which according to a lot of guitar players is not nearly as good (apparently weber and another speaker company do decent recones). Anyway the speaker's label says it's a 16ohm speaker, but the ad also shows a multimeter with an impedance measurement of 6.2ohms, making it an 8ohm speaker.
So Is the 21057 significant of an original cone and the impedance somehow got way off, or was it reconed to an 8ohm with JBL parts, or could it just be any recone and 21057 doesnt mean jack? Hope this picture attachment works. just gave a picture of the cone. Thanks from a brand new member and soon to be owner of JBL- with applications in lap steel, electric guitar, bass and hopefully hifi soon!
