Wayne have you ever used the 2235h as the woofer in a 2 or 3 way system? I've been kicking the idea around of using some of my 2235's with a 2441 or something equivalant since they can get down fairly low (500Hz - 800 Hz) and JBL claims that this driver can go up to 1000hz. Any opinions? Kelly

In the early eighties, I used the 2205 for a woofer in designs that currently use the 2226. I sometimes used 2235's for subs and in other designs that could use relatively low crossover. The 2205 could be used to 1kHz, and I regularly used it up to 500Hz, crossing to 2105's. The 2235 could probably reach this high too, but I prefered to cross it over lower so I didn't use it in speakers with crossover above 300Hz.
You'd be talking about something like a JBL 4430, a coveted speaker with some of the best performance of a JBL monitor; I'd like to get one. The 2235 is still superior to much of what is out there in a 15.......according to those in the know, the current crop has better power handling but not the low level resolution of some of the older, lower powered drivers.....Check out the link for more info, and then use those 2235's!! They really have unusually good response compared to most 15's in the 1000 hz range.......
