So, I got a pair of original JBL D110F 10" speakers a while back. And I noticed the kits in them were a lot more basic than a person may think. I was hoping to recone them, because they had a bad rub... they ALL seem to have bad rubs at this late date, if they have original kits. But that's the...

Hello everyone, (As some of you may remember) I own a pair of JBL 305P MKII monitors. What I want to do is to be able to connect my computer and my keyboard to a mixer and then send the combined sounds into my speakers. Now, ive done my research so the reason Im making this thread is to make...

Hello everyone, i bought a pair of speakers JBL 305P MKII to put plug them into my keyboard (the instrument) . For some reaosn though, when I plug them in they just do not work at all. The speakers are brand new and the keyboard's systems are 100% working. Could it possibly be the cables? I...

So fortune (and a lot of junk shop and estate sale visits) has brought into my possession 3 pairs of vintage JBL speakers with 10" woofers: L26 Decade, L50, L110. All are in very good+ condition and have been re-foamed and re-capped by me. From what I can gather, all 3 of these speakers were...

These were used by my father for his home audio system - mainly for vinyl and our cinema setup. They’ve now been collecting dust for about 3 yrs. I have a pair of JBL LX8’s for my own setup, but should I switch them out and keep these instead? How remiss would I be to sell the L300s? We sorta...

Does anyone know what to call this part of the speaker that actually touches the cabinet? I'd like to replace it if possible. It seems like some sorth of weather stripping gasket that creates a seal with the cabinet when installed. I'm currently in the process of re-foaming my L112's for the...

Hey guys! New to the audio world. I have a pair of JBL L150s and am absolutely loving them. One of the Mids (LE5-10) occasionally produces a metallic ringing noise. I was wondering what you guys think could be the problem. There is a pair of LE5-6s and LE5-12s for sale on ebay currently...

Hi all - I’m looking to upgrade speakers (Panasonic SB-170) to something in the JBL lineup. There are L40 ($200), L50 ($500), L96 ($700), and L110 ($700) all available in my area and budget (there’s also L100 and L112 but they’re $1200+ which is more than I want to spend). I would love any...

Hey all, I just picked up a unique set of JBL 4312 as pictured and am looking for any information regarding the logo on the grills. I’ve done much digging online and have not found a comp. The text and alignment looks factory or professionally done so I’m thinking these may have been a dealer...

I am searching for new pair of speakers. I currently have JBL e60 and I am not quite satisfied with them. I use them with AKAI AM 75 and AIWA 8300. My next choice will be either JBL E90 or Canton ergo 90, so i have a question, which of these two pairs is better for the approximately same price...

I'm looking to pickup some vintage JBLs and I've found these two speakers as options. The L36 are $550 USD while the L46 are $350 USD. This should be a no brainer, where the L36 trounces the L46, except my listening space is an average sized bedroom. I feel like the L36 would be better in a...

Hello AK community, I'd like to ask for some guidance here. I have a chance to purchase a set of JBL 2402H locally and was wondering if anybody has tried adding these as supertweeters to Altec Model 19s. I believe 2402H are ferrite but my 416-8B on the Altec are alnico afaik. is this...

I just installed some Solen caps for my JBLs and they seem pretty bright. Not bad...but bright. Any have any recs on capacitors that can tone that down if i choose to? Daytons? "Solen PB 8 mfd Metalized Polypropylene Fast Capacitor 400V"

Hi community, greetings to all. My first post in this fantastic forum! Can you identify this driver? It was pulled out of a totally beaten down 4425. So it should be a 2416H. Does the diaphragm looks original to you? DCR is 3.8 Ohm. Thanks! C

I'm new to the hifi scene, but I'm closing in on a setup that will cost me around $1350, consisting of: —pair of JBL 4312a's in great condition ($800) ONE PICTURED BELOW —Pioneer sx780 ($300) —Technics SL-D202 turntable with updated parts where it matters. ($250) Listening to them in the shop...

Hi guys, I have a problem with a JBL LE5-8. One of the rivets holding the magnet has come loose. When I was cleaning the speaker, I noticed that part of the rivet was sticking out a bit, but when I looked at it more closely, I saw that it had come loose completely. Here are two pictures...

Hi friends, I recently picked up a pair of L100t3 with pretty severe sun damage. Took them apart, re-stained and lacquered the cabinets.drivers were already re-foamed; I did the tweeters. Put them back together and the left speaker sounds terrible. Initially I thought maybe the mid or the...

I found these near mint condition L46 at a local thrift store - didn't know what they were, just saw big JBL's, beautiful walnut finish and thought it was too good to leave (my dad has always been a JBL fan) I just replaced the rubber surrounds on, and that was quite the undertaking compared to...

Hi, I've acquired a set of replica JBL 4345 made with no Internal crossover, ment to be used with a 4 way active crossover. 1 amp for each driver. I'm using the Deqx Pre-8 as my active crossover. The sound is good, but I feel like something is off. I've tried to read the forums to see, if...

Hello guys, I bought new speakers again, JBL L166! They were not that expensive and to pickup in my area. :banana: Both the JBL 122A-1 woofers have damaged foam surrounds, which I noticed while I was at the guy's place buying them, but that wasn't really a problem I thought. On closer...

Hey (first post here!) So a local collector picked up my listing for my beloved JBL L19s (sounds great, with some scratches on the exterior), always loved their dynamic sound profile. Listed for equivalent of 280 USD roughly. On the phone, he asked for any specific models I'm interested in as...

I recently acquired this reciever for $300. It is in mint condition with remote! I have to say this unit has a beautiful soundstage reminiscent of a tandberg separate system I heard long ago on a pair of Thiels. Probably better, clean clear, transparent ,effortlessly powers my L-7 JBL’s. I Also...

Hi! Studio guy here. New to the “hifi” speaker game. Have mixed music professionally on a variety of speakers. I’m LA/Inland Empire based. Picked up a mint pair of Advent Legacy for my brother. I loved em so much I wanted to get myself another pair. Found one in good shape - just needs to...

Hello! This is my first time posting on AudioKarma so forgive me if I make any mistakes. I recently acquired a pair of JBL L110's. They had been sitting in storage for quite a while and the previous owner said they were working before being stored. I got to work replacing the foam surrounds and...

I'm listening to my L99's (actually Heathkit AS-48, but the same thing). Bass is great: punchy and deep. The vocals come right out of the cabinets, very forward, similar to L100's. There's none of the midrange stridency that the L100's are tuned for. Stereo imaging is good. But these are...
