JBL 4355 Replica

[Challenger604]

HI,
unfortunately it's not so easy to find them here in my city and i can see many on e-bay but with some expensive delivery cost (25-26 USD just for shipping...)

i will try another shop here, because i would like to use Flat head 8/32 philips slot for the tweeter and re-try 1/4-20 later on for the driver...

Gasket no problem, real problem here is the UNC/UNF screw variants, here we have Metric unit.

if you have a set 8+8 screw as spare....contact me!

I could'nt find phillips screws for the 2441 but I used helen screws and it works very well. You don't even see the difference! Of course if you put your nose on... LOL!! I can go get it for you also!

For the 2405's screws, le me know if you can find it! If not, I can go to get it for you.
You just need to spray some paint on it like I did and nobody will see it!

I'm going to see my dad in spain and could send the all thing to you from there!

Let me know!

Please let me me tell you that you are building a piece of art that will bring a great joy that the real audiophile will appreciate!

Cheers to that!

My Grills, small modification compared to original, but I see those as an improvement! Material is MDF and solid wood for the domes.

now i need to prepare holes for support pin (i will not use the original ones that may broke,i will make some aluminium or teflon Dome and screw them on the front panel), mill insert for Magnets (i will use 8 neodinium magnets 12x2mm 1,2kg force each) and place some hidden screw on the front, exactly in the project position (hidden by the softer part of Velcro, to protect magnets from strong impact).

Grills are made by my carpenter on CNC machine.

Armed I'm pretty shure there is a good carpenter or wood specialist that can make a replica For you!!!! The cost should be between 650-1000 dollar (For 2 cabinet)

You gents could also build the JBL 4351's.....as Christophe knows I have built the 4355 too...much better stereo imaging with the 4351. I am using all active crossovers.. the new DBX 360.. it has auto room eq and makes a huge difference...Unheard spl's 122db!and clarity. Love blending the old with the improved digital age.

check out some videos on YouTube..search for channel : KangSound.
