I am the proud owner of two JBL C34's. The nameplate states: "C34 Enclosure" and the sn's are 10519 and 12157; not exaxtly consecutive. May have been the era transforming to two channel. I greatly appreciate some help with some questions:
1. Did JBL manufacture the cabinets or are they kits/counterfeits? How can I tell? The look exceptionally well built like a manufactured product but show signs of modifications.
2. They're 3-ways using and unmarked crossover for woofer to a monster-sized CD/short horn and LX5 crossovers (sn 21852 and 21891) to the hi freq bullet tweeter. Sight unseen, I speculate the driver compliment is D130, 175 CD/horn, and 075 tweeter. Literature search shows this to be an option but, are these likely to have been added aftermarket?
3. I would like to remove the grills for inspection. Is the grill cloth removed via inside or can it be removed from the outside?
4. Please feel free to add any pertinent info.
Thanks for all your help.
