I'm thinking its the woofers. When I bought them, I was pretty sure they came out of a club speaker, but at the used price, even if I had to recone, it would still be a deal. The resistors are Mills, per spec, and I checked locations twice before soldering. Was thinking something was up as the bass wasn't much more than my old single driver speakers.

I agree with you about recones. I've bought used speakers at a price I was comfortable with, just for the baskets. Then get 'em reconed and they're 100% good as new. Just make sure the recone kit is genuine JBL and get the work done at a shop that you trust.

I checked the crossovers again - all arranged per the specification for the 250/2226 requirements. so, the drivers are off to be reconed at local JBL service center...
My speakers had this kind of f response at first, it was night and day after reconing. And after breaking in they sound even better. My speakers had a very shy bass, almost not present and were quite fatiguing after some hours of listening. With the new woofers it's a different story, 4pi worth much more than its cost.
Recone them and give them some time to break in. Good luck!
