I had replaced the drivers in my Stage 4's to B&C 250's, and just put a 2226 in one of them....WOW! I've had these in boxes for some time, and didn't feel a need to upgrade them from the Omega's, but finally got around to it. I'm using a 12-ga. custom 0.7mH inductor, with Mills, Auricaps and North Creeks in the high-freq side. Sounds great! I bought the 2226's at the eTent sale some months ago, and it turned out the other one was 16 ohms, not 8. However, I wrote JBL, even tho I didn't expect any relief at this late date from tent sale, etc. However, they are sending me an 8-ohm model for no charge, and told me to keep the 16-ohmer. What great customer service,eh? Can't wait to get stereo again....

I ran the 2226 for awhile with the C4 cap in the xover, but without the zobel, and it sounded ok, but opened up a lot more w/out it. Now only the new coil is in there, and it sounds great. I wish I had the second one...

The JBL 2226 is a very nice sounding driver.
