Hi all
I'm new here
I'm a guitarist and I quite like the sound of JBLs in the little amps I make
I have 3 D123s and a D130 right now...I did have a few D120s but as they were quite heavy and didn't blow me away soncially at the time ..I sold them... and of course now regret it.
I really like the D123s though, sweet clean sound!
Anywho the D130 I have is one made for Hifi use, labelled 16 ohms but actually 8
Original paper cone and paper surround (or factory recone) with a 130-202 code on it, aluminum dust cover and no surround goop!
Serial # 25507
I'm using it with a 15 watt tweed deluxe/vibrolux (in transition from on to the other hahaha) that I made
The D130 is in excellent shape both cosmetically and otherwise, has the badge on the magnet and nary a mark on it. I paid $75 for it
I would however like to find the JBL goop or the closest alternative to put on the surround to keep it from the inevitable cracking.
What are people using?
Is the original 'goop' still available?
I'd read many places that on speakers in general a lot of people use rubber cement (elmers or similar)
for paper surrounds
Any ideas, comments?
