I hope I’m in the right place. A good friend has a setup with 4343 monitors that sound amazing. I’ve been listening to a pair of Altec 605a duplexes that I really like, they just don’t seem quite in the 4343 league. I built the cabs for the 605’s, and several subwoofers, so I’m fairly confidant in my carpentry skills.
I got a 4648a cab from a theater remodel with a very nice pair of 2226j drivers in them for a steal and that got me thinking. Then I stumbled across a few home theater type builds with the Denovo dna360 cd and Seos wave guides coupled with 2226j/h drivers. Then a pair of 2225h popped up locally for $30 each that need reconed. My thought now is to get them done with 2334/5 cones and do a dual 15” alignment. 2235/4 from 30-80, 2226 from 80-1000, and the cd up top.
I’m hoping somebody with more experience might chime in? Is this a good direction to take? I’ve done a lot of reading the last few weeks and so far it seems workable.
As for the reconing , it seems the consensus here is to get it done by a JBL service center? A big part of my enjoyment of this hobby comes from the hands on and constant learning. From my research this doesn’t seem like anything I’d have trouble doing myself. Are the aftermarket kits really a huge crapshoot as far as replicating factory specs?
Sorry for for the long winded first post, thanks in advance for any help and advice offered!
