Hello
I am new to this forum but not new to JBL. Years ago I designed systems for dance clubs in the US and Canada, most of them were 4-way amplified with 18" vented-box subs. Commonly used components were 4560 boxes, 2395 lenses, and 2405 tweeters. As with my personal system, I often used 1" drivers on the lenses.
I have two JBL B460 subwoofers (ser. 20198, 20177) bought about 1985. I also have a pair of 2245H drivers as spares.
The two OEM 2245H drivers that came with the cabinets have no JBL nameplate on the back, and are merely stamped 2245H. My recollection is that before they were first re-coned, the original cones had a white coating on the back, but were grey in front. Is there anywhere I can obtain replacement cones that are more like the original ones? I would like to auction these two subs on eBay with fully re-coned (as original as possible) drivers.
Second question: I want to switch to a pair of larger commercial subs like the 4642A or the ASB6128V. Has anyone had experience with either of these two JBL Pro subwoofer systems? There is quite a difference in price between the two. The drivers seem to be quite different as well.
Thanks in advance,
