Hi, I'm new here and have a few questions. A couple of years ago I have fallen for the JBL 4430. In the Netherlands these speakers are very hard to find and being a student with a low budget makes things even more complicated . However last year I have been able to collect several parts I want to use to build these beauties myself (with some help of you fine people of course!). I've got the following parts:
2x JBL 2344a
2x JBL 2426J
2x JBL E140-8
Clone of the N3134 network (not yet build)
First question:
The JBL E140-8 will be reconed to a hybrid with 2235h reconekit. This will be done by a Dutch reconecompany. Should there be taken any precautions (flux-ring??) or can the reconekit be installed without any further adjustments?
Second question:
The 4430 uses 8 ohm drivers while I was hoping to use 16 ohm 2426J drivers. Can this be done and what adjustments must be made to the network in order to get the right (4430) sound?
Hopefully there's somebody who can provide me some answers. Thank you!!
