JBL Speaker List - draft!

[Phil H]

Giskard,

Those are nice lists. I was curious about the notes on the first list. Are you working toward a complete list of enclosures for each system, or are they what you know from your personal experience? I ask because I noticed that a number of cabinets aren't listed that can be found in the literature on this site. Here is a link to one I know http://www.lansingheritage.org/image...1967/chart.jpg

I too started making a similar list. I just did it to help me learn what's what.

Roy,
I down-loaded your list but I need to install Excel on my computer (I've used Lotus 123 since DOS days). Probably next week, I'll install Office. I look forward to seeing your list.

The various spreadsheets have different info depending on who at JBL did them. Some info is missing. Some info was incorrect and I corrected it. I have always meant to consolidate the various lists but haven't been too fired up to do so because it really requires a relational database as opposed to spreadsheets. Besides, I know all the information so it isn't really a chore to look it up. I know where it all is. I'll get to it eventually and ask Techbot to deal with it accordingly.

Giskard & Phil,

thx for the link and kind comments, I will work on my Excel list using your pdf's and the link info.
*I never did learn databases but may try yet! As an O&G engineer I always was able to get by with 123 or XL....
Later, Roy

Here is an update to my Excel Spreadsheet including Giskard's referenced info on crossovers, some driver corrections and more systems. I did not include smaller systems with 8" woofers as I prefer the big guys. The pink cells are where I have no info...so if you got it tell me!
The S/S is attached with a ".doc" extension as I cannot attach it properly. So you gotta save it, rename it with an ".xls" extension and you can then open it in Excel. Pls advise if anyone wants more info!

You might want to include driver Q along with your Fs, and Vas specs.

You might want to look this over too:

Everyone here should know who Drew is. I met Joe Etrick many years ago when he worked for Barath Acoustics in Denver.


If you can wait for me to consolidate my spreadsheets you can look over the information then. I'm pretty busy with other things right now so it could be awhile. There are 48 different spreadsheets and I think a different person at JBL did each one so none of them are standardized. I've already gone to a ton of trouble proofreading/correcting their work and rearranging various columns and rows. It's a significant amount of work.

This is preliminary to the Technical Documentation Project - Public Forum.

I really need a DBA for web enabled relational databases to step forward. If no one does then we might have to hire it done and that means everyone will have to pony up some cash.

Did you find what we needed here or should I start a matching funds challenge in the market palce? I'll "pony up" as needed on this project and think I can count on a few others too. If there is something we can do to help please ask. "We do not, because we know not."

I do know some DB people and I will present it to them in the next few weeks.
PM me so we can work out the specifics.

Edit: I missed the whole 2nd page of this thread. If '59 can help that would be good as well. as always I will help in any manner that will make a difference.

Side note: I may be able to host the database if John can not do it. There would be some "things" to workout, but.... just some pre thoughts.....

we may need all the people we can get...Keep your friends in your "back pocket" incase we need their talents...

I find the offer about hosting the database interesting...PM me exactly what you can offer as I'm not familiar with what you can do and have( also your friends). Can you write Web pages?

Do you have your own server? if so that would be great, as it may help in two ways:
1. continued hosting ( if needed)
2. Hosting for alpha and beta testing - this could speed up the process if Don or John are at times busy and unable to do much...

at this point, everything is still in the air, in fact I'm not sure exactly what Giskard is envisioning here or what he wants( this is his baby)....we will need more details..however, even if Don and John are busy for now,there is no reason why we cann't be planning and designing the data entry programs, data structures, and what is to be included in the databases......
