The 2234 is the exact same as the 2235, except the 2235 cone is 35 grams heavier. It is literally the same speaker with a 35g mass ring added, specifically to increase bass extension. So I personally would prefer the 2235 over the 2234 for subwoofer duty. But either driver can be used to good effect.
I suppose the real problem is the 2234 and 2235 are both out of production, so you would have to buy them used and have them reconed. This is not so bad though, because reconed JBL 22xx drivers are good as new, provided factory recone kist are installed by a competent technician. They're designed to be serviced, and factory support is good.
