What should I do next?

[frank23]

Hi,

Right now I am wondering what to do next. I have a number of JBL Pro drivers, horns and components.

I am only using a 2420 / 2344A combination with an 8" kevlar bass/mid and I am very happy with the setup.

besides those, I have pairs of a horns/lens/2420 combi and a 2342/2416 combi and 2235 and 2123 lying around and I can buy a 2344A/2426 combi.

So I have the following possibilities:
- buy a pair of 4435 that have been offered to me
- buy another pair of 2344A with new 2426 drivers
- build a 2 way with the pair of reconed 2235 I have and the 2344A horns
- build a 3 way with the reconed 2235, 2123 and 2344A
- rebuilt my current system of kevlar 8" and 2344A with the 2342 horns I have [from the 4425 speaker] so the smaller horns make a nice integrated system
- sell al my spares?
- trade them for the "ultimate drivers", whatever those are?
- should I get 2" driver/horn combinations? and build a system from that?
- do something completely different?

I do not have much time, and I like designing and building crossovers myself. But I think I am by far not as persistent as many of you here on this forum.

Choices.... Any suggestions? I really don't know, maybe I should just stick with what I'm happy with now.

thanks, Frank

My opinion--by all means, buy the pair of 4435's

Your kevlars may mate better with the 2342/2416. Build L200t3 crossovers to run them.

Nothing plays with 2344A/2420/2426 better than 2235. Build B380 boxes for the 2235's (plans in library here) and N3134 networks (documented in this forum). If you decide to go another direction in the future, you'll have a pair of VERY competent subs.

Find empty L200's if you want to avoid box building and have really nice packages for the full system. L220/L222's will work, too.

I'm gonna disagree with Dave. Buying 4435's is not nearly as much fun. BUT, there's no harm in doing THAT as well.

Huh? Who told you that?

'Nothing plays with 2344A/2420/2426 better than 2235.'

I don't know about that 2123's match-up real nice with it.
