JBL 2226H + Fostex FF225K + Beyma CP 21
Hello,
I have a new project Hi-Fi using JBL 2226H in bass reflex enclosures + midrange + Beyma CP 21/F tweeters with passive crossovers, Fc will be around 400 Hz and 7 kHz.
My question is about the midrange driver. I think that using a Fostex FF 225K full range isn' t a bad idea. Efficiency is 96 db/watt @ 1m.
What do think about this driver? Thanks

I don't think the 2226 buys you anything that you can't get with the Fostex in a good vented enclosure. A 2235H may be a different story, but 2226 is not a good choice, in my opinion.
The other problem is the 2226 is an instrument speaker and generally they do not make a good HiFi woofer, if that is your intent.
Personally, I would not use the 2226 for a HiFi woofer. It's Fs is simply too high and there are much better choices out there that will provide better low end response.
Just my thoughts.

I use the JBL 2226 myself for audio and find it a very nice sounding driver. I also use a 1.6khz crossover to my Edgarhorn.
I just thought since you spoke negatively about the 2226 that I should add a positive note to using them.;)
