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. Ron

I agree with Wayne. I have experience with all 3 of the drivers and the 2245 is by far a better performer in a prted box. I might suggest a 10 foot box tuned to 22hz for home audio. The 2240/41 are better drivers for pro audio and in horn applications. Bruce uses either of these in his big sub. The 40/41 have a few points higher spl too. I gladly give up the extra spl for the 2245 with a softer suspension and lower extension. Bill

Not to detract from djk or who ever, I don't think you'll learn any more than you will from Wayne and Bill about JBL drivers. Chalupas,

I'm not familiar with them, so I'm in no position to judge. I have always received experienced advice here. I can't imagine a JBL application that you guys haven't had an opportunity to try. Russellc
