    cone for E145

    Hello
    I just purchase a pair of JBL 15 inch, models E145. But they seems to have two differents cone and surround.
    The first look very like the Everest 15inch and the second is exactly like a K145.
    Is it possible ? Were the E145 sold with two differents cones ? Can someone help me ?
    If I want to recone one to get a real pair, which one should I recone ?

    regards, Stéphane

    They are both JBL!

    Around 1986 JBL started using a different cone with a different surround, I dont know why they did this, but both are real cones!

    I would listen to both styles and see IF you can hear a difference between the two, and if you do, which you prefer!

    K 145

    Hello Stephan,

    My old K145 has a one piece moulded paper surround. Serial number is 15577.
    This was a little bit damaged and i fixed this with "Bitumen" for cars.
    Works and looks like new.

    Does this look like an original E145 cone made after 1986? Mine all look different, and the seller has one of each.

    OK, so that picture that I posted is an early version of the E145.
