I am in the process of getting a pair of cabinets (ported) with a interior volume of 8.8 cu ft, tuned with 2 ports to 28hz per current owner.

These cabs were used with JBL 2245's by the previous owner, I can procure a pair of blown 2245's and recone kit for 2240/2241, I have a speaker tech who will perform the recone and wondering what animal will result by this surgical procedure.

I am more interested in the recone being closer to the 2240/2241 than the 2245(which has its share of probs I don't want to deal with)

I welcome any and all info regarding this scenario, you will not hurt my feelings, I need to know if there is any detrimental effect with this recone. The tech has all the parts already, just waiting for my go-ahead on this venture.

If this works okay, I will use my Altec 288 on 350hz round tractix Edgarhorn and finish off with a pair of JBL 075's for a sweet 3 way system.
