JBL 2220 Corner Horn [message #43547]

Hi Wayne,

I've been using JBL 2220's in vented boxes from about 100 Hz up to 500 with a JBL 2245 in a 10 cubic foot box below that. Due to a "marital realignment" I've had to move into a condo and need to lose the huge sub. I have two good corners and was wanting to try the 2220's in corner horns. 50Hz should be fine. Any suggestion as to how to implement this ?

Thanks,

Dave

If memory serves, the 2220's are similar to 2205's. If so, you'll love 'em in π cornerhorns. The 1980's standard model seven π cornerhorn used a JBL 2205 used a cabinet about the same size as the current 2226-based model. The motor chamber is a little under 3.0ft3 and tuned to 40Hz. Seems like the 2205 needed 2.2ft3, and with displacements figured in, the box outside dimensions were about 3.0ft3. Anyway, you might grab a copy of PiAlign and run the numbers to be sure, but I think you'll probably find that your 2220's in a 2.5ft3 to 3.0ft3 π cornerhorn will work very well.
