Help in adding tweeter to horn speakers

[Zilch]

I purposely failed to mention that because i feared ridicule from other members as a result of all of the derogatory L100 comments.

L100's suck.

We say that with authority, because we all have 'em!

Maybe we should take your Q+D concept to heart and consider some mods for them. I like the basic design, but I can think of several "minor" changes that would radically improve them....

That's what Akira is apparently trying to do.

We need an organized approach and a new thread, is what....

TWO-way?

Yeah... let's talk again in the Spring when you are finished with the "Two-way" thread...

TWO-way?

NO! That would not be the L-100... besides, JBL did that already. It was called the L-88.

a hippo in a dress is still a hippo, and a modified L100 is still an L100. i have no illusions as to the limitations of this infamous speaker as i have owned over 52 JBL enclosures each with multiple drivers as well as other non JBL professional studio monitors and designer sound systems such as Turbosound...it's what i do for a living. i'm doing this for fun and because i have several spare parts and peripheral electronics.
i am currently working on six L100 modifications never seen before in this forum. i will have a detailed history, mod pics and test results in a few weeks...then you call all throw flames at me!

or rocks!!
p.s. at least i'll have a prettier hippo!!!

I'm going to come to the defense of the good 'ol L100. It pretty much gave JBL to the masses and went on to become probably the most widely used studio monitor in existence...the 4311...and copied...sort of...by many. Sure, the early crossovers are pretty rudimentary, but the drivers are very competent. Update the crossover with symetrical filters with good components and you still have a very competent speaker. So...I don't thin' the L100 sucks...and neither do lots of other people that have and love them.
