    Love those copper emblems you are producing. Who cares if they are not original JBL? They look great!

    I think it is a great idea...since it is mine.
    Uh, no. Bad idea. See the following...

    "When boredom strikes . . . . "

    When it strikes me, I make a list of all the chores that I should be doing instead. Cures boredom quickly, and nothing gets done!

    n2400

    so I decided to recap my crossovers N2400...I replaced the capacitors and coils...
    night and day difference...I guess my caps are old... the mids and highs are a loooot cleaner..and detailed..., I could tell the difference right away from the 075 tweeter...
    thanks for Baron030 and his thread "N2400 revealed"....costs me about 40$ in materials...

    work looks good.

    one thing tho, electrical tape on connections. it will eventually dry & harden
    and fall off ..leaving bare wires to do their mischief.

    suggest more permanent wire insulation unless you want to renew that tape periodically.
    Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles

    Nice!

    Nice job!

    I have a set of Acousticraft furniture; 5' console +two 4.5cuft speaker cabinets. Came with LE 14c's mounted on a sub panel. I pulled them and the panel, and there was a nice 15" hole with mounting holes drilled.

    I put in 136a's and put 2420's on tractrix "salad bowls" stained to match sitting on top. Great sound, great WAF. Added 076's later. Xover is a 3131a (mod for the 076) . A pseudo L300 with a better sounding horn (IMHO)



    Ported on the bottom, xover bolted on the back

    Nice restore! I actually have the same barzilay cabinets but have a pair of Altec 604E's in there (originally there were a pair of 605a's). There is actually one on ebay for sale right now. I have some cracks in my grill and saw you had repaired them on yours. What did you do to fix them if you dont mind me asking. Thanks
