I have done same project. Did you use 1.4 mh coild for 2226J?? I had some 2 mh coils on hand that I used. Did you remove the foam from the ports also??? I used 15 ohm parallel and 30 ohm series attenuation on the horn with .47 ufd compensation. The .33 ufd probably works better on the JBL 2425 or 2426 driver, but I think the 2418 is cheapened version and has less top end. With a mild 30hz eq thrown in they sound great. Let me know how you have implemented yours. I am running off of Marantz 2238B right now, but best sound came from 2215B. I too have had the 2A3 Paramours hooked up with mine. While they sounded good, the Altec A7-500's blew them away. I must say though, the Altecs work best with the flea powered units and don't like the wattage that JBL 2226's like to run in their best environment.
Thanks, Ron
