Looks likeJBL drivers.
You're sitting in a good spot.From where I sit, they look like 2118's...![]()
Good for you!You're sitting in a good spot.![]()
Most definitely. I just got them in, actually. I built new baffles for them, because the mounting diameter on the B&Cs is almost 1/2" larger than the JBLs, so I couldn't catch all the mounting holes. I'll get pics and a review/comparison up a bit later. The shop where I bought these has a single 2226G (most are the H) and is going to track down another one for me so I can run the pair.Good for you!
Will you be comparing them to your B & C's...?
I've now posted a short comparison in my build log, along with a few pics:Good for you!

Same as the B&C. They're running from 100hz-800hz, -24db slopes. Wish I could run a little steeper, but it's fine for now. Power on tap is 150w/ea from my PRS-D4100F bridged to 8 ohms. The impact and kick is... not comparable.Starting to regret my earlier decision, there Mikey.
So you swapped the JBL's for the B&C's, but what passband are they playing with what slopes? Power? How is the impact and kick of the JBL vs the B&C, because we're talking a huge difference in xmax, right?
I've missed them on ebay many times. The 16 ohm "J's are more common and sets in cabinets or those that need recones come up more often. But I shall remain patient........and of course.....get me a small taste of the 8NDL51's, first.now all Fox needs is a pair of these to add t his HE journey.
Find a cashed 1500GTi and recone to a 2226G, or even find a cashed 2226 G/H/J as long as the magnet is not shifted you are golden.The shop where I bought these has a single 2226G (most are the H) and is going to track down another one for me so I can run the pair.![]()
Thanks for the advice. I did find a 2226J at an east coast PA shop for like $76, but it was gone when I called them. Although the G is discontinued, recone kits are still available for it? I'll have to look into thatFind a cashed 1500GTi and recone to a 2226G, or even find a cashed 2226 G/H/J as long as the magnet is not shifted you are golden.
Why all the recones with pro drivers? I've always wondered this. It is just a given due to long term abuse or something? Talking about quality and reconing at the same time seems odd to me.JBL is good about supporting legacy products for a LONG time... you can still get a recone kit for a D130![]()
