One auction says this:The JBL 2236H was a product of JBL's Custom Shop, and was built in very limited quantities in order to compete in the professional studio world against Pioneer's TAD Division.
The 2236H was so limited JBL did not produce a specific badge for this model, as attached photos will show. They were usually hand written (like this one) or left with the factory 2242H badge still in place from the driver assembly.The 2236H is essentially an 18" 2242H driver assembly/magnet on a 15" 2226H frame, basket, and cone assembly.The unpacked weight is 28 pounds!This is an amazing woofer, and very hard to come by.

ME150. I'm sure enough to bet $900.00 on it.
Before anyone thinks to beat on me for stealing them, I saw the auction before the question was posted here. With my Sunday duties I didn't have time to buy them right away and figured if they were still available when I could get to them it was meant to be.
If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
Are you able to see a front view of it? The only picture that shows up for me is the one 3/4 rear shot.

Those pictures would not come up on my iPhone. Well it will be interesting to see what they are and how they behave.
The C-R2226 kit for sure is not a drop in for a 2227/ME150 basket so I don't know for sure what this is.

I just took a picture of the ME150H woofer in one of my S3100:
The seller does not seem honest.He invented the model 2236H.

Wasn't there a guy offering a mix of cone and basket a year ago, claiming the combination would sustain 1000 watts? Seems it was discussed here, as well as perhaps on AudioKarma forum... Is that the same driver?
Edit - Got it - 2226 basket and 2235 cone.

It won't take long to figure it out, they should be here in a couple of days. They are definitely not 2226 baskets and the 2227/ME150 and 2242 do share the same motor assembly. Maybe he did make up the number but as much stuff seems to have come out the side and back door of the factory, I will entertain the possibility that they may be what is claimed.
If they are hack jobs I will make them ME150's if and when kits are available. Worst case scenario they become 2227's. It won't be the end of the world for me.

The end of the world is in December so keep on truckin dude.
Looked like a scam to me too but who knows, wish you luck.
Hi Jan;
I don't have any ME150's so may I ask a favor? Would you be so kind as to measure the distance from the front edge of the basket of one of your ME150's to the dust cap glue line? Nothing to precision, I just used a straight edge across the front and a rule perpendicular to it at the glue line. Also is the cone curved or straight?
A 2227 is about 2.5" deep and has a straight sided cone.
I will measure a 2226 in the morning.
Thank you!
Barry.

>> the distance from the front edge of the basket
>> of one of your ME150H's to the dust cap glue line
That distance is 65 mm or 2 9/16 inches.
>> is the cone curved or straight?
The cone is straight.
