gdmoore28, Thank You for the heads up and info. This is the info I was looking for. I will look into this. Hopefully they are not too far off in the dbs as their specs say. I have read that these MCM 55-2963's do sound pretty good after a long break in period. I wanted to share the link where a fellow did a basic Clone of a 4350 or 4355 cab with these drivers and said they were really nice but I can't find the link now.
I've seen the project you are referring to and was impressed with the job he did in making the JBL clones. Doing a project like that is not only fun, but can only increase your knowledge of speaker building. I know that JBL purists may be a little offended at the copy-catting, but I think it's a cool alternative, and especially when $$$$ is tight. Looking forward to your progress.
By the way, those Beyma drivers are fantastic according to their tech sheets and to those who have used them. Looking forward to your impressions.

Welcome to the Lansing form.
As you can read we have some hard core jbl enthusiasts on this site. But pretty much know their shit!!! You were better off using the jbl 2245h woofers paired with the jbl midrages than added the Beyma TPL-150. Which is a fantastic hf driver. I have a 3way set up using all Beyma drivers. But this is not the site to ask question on a custom build on other drivers than jbl,altec.if you surf the web you can find a bunch of project using the Beyma tpl-150. There is a posting here somewhere about a 3way build using jbl 2245h- 2118-and a Beyma tpl-150h. Maybe you can use some of the info to help yourself on your build
I am using the Beyma tpl-150H
Beyma 10 mid
Beyma 18 woofer
Beyma tpl is cross over at 1.5kh
Thanks. Good luck with the new speaker project
Here are the 2245H's I was talking about that need repair. The one that is showing the back seem ok. The other has a crushed dust cap and is rubbing when you gently push down on it, so this is the one that may need a reconing kit.
I will try to post some pics of the 2123's I have.
They don’t look like 2245 cones. Maybe 2240.

Hello all, here's and update to what I have done. I know it's been a while but I was laid off again and had to wait for awhile to get the funds for these drivers, horns and lenses. Today I was able to buy some JBL 2420's and 2307's in excellent condition, I also bought some Kenrick 2308 lenses to go with my 2245H's and 2123H's. So I'm just missing the JBL 2405's for the supper tweeter. If I can't find any the Beyma version will work but I want the original JBL's.
I will be gathering the parts next for the Xovers for the 3435 II's while I wait for the woofer to be reconed along with any other parts for the cabs.
Just be aware the Beyma slot has lower sensitivity than the 2405H.
