Survived a big layoff at work yesterday, so the focus of my 4pi build has changed from "all new all the best", to a budget build. The hunt for good used 2226H's started this morning.
I found some that have been tested with a Woofer Tester 2, parameters as follows:
Fs = 45.5 Hz (spec is 40.0 Hz)
Qts = 0.39 (spec is 0.31)
Qms = 3.38 (spec is 5.0)
Qes = 0.44 (spec is 0.33)
Do these numbers throw up any caution flags such as needing a recone (or having an aftermarket recone)? Or is this kind of variance expected/acceptable?
For the going prices on used 2226 woofers, if you add a JBL recone they almost cost as much or more than just buying new ! If that's the case I might have to consider a 3pi build instead, since the Definimax is bargain priced in comparison.
