My nephew will build for him a replica of the JBL C31 wooden enclosures (two 130B woofers, one 175H driver and an N1200 crossover) and will mount modern JBL components in it and we have 3 key questions and will thank immensely any light you can shed on it! The components we are considering to use are:
- ONE JBL DRIVER 2446 (H for 8 ohms, J for 16 ohms), Throat diameter 49mm, Frequency range 500Hz to 20 kHz, Recommended Crossover 500Hz or higher, 12 dB/octave minimum
- TWO JBL 15” WOOFERS 2226 (H for 8 ohms, J for 16 ohms), Frequency range 30Hz to 2.5 kHz, Highest recommended Crossover 1200Hz
And we have 03 questions
- The Driver and the two woofers should be 16 ohms and be wired in “series” so the two of them maintain the 16 ohms impendance, right?
- Which JBL crossover network to use with this kit?
- Is this JBL Driver and Woofer selection a good choice for the C31?
Thanks for comments and inputs !
