One of my best finds, A JBL B460 18" Subwoofer

This one is built right, made of MDF, not particle board and heavily reinforced inside. Walnut veneer, really adds a lot of low bass extension to my L250s. I don't think there are many of these around. It came with the original BX63a and I was very excited to install a 2245h with original cone. I do recommend any of you with aftermarket cones to get the original JBL. The bass is much tighter and accurate with a JBL cone. Thanks for checking it out! Would love to see your B460s.

 

Nice!!!

 

Nice find! Especially being a L250 owner to go with it!

 

Whoa that is cool!

 

That things abeast! I like it!!

 

Beautiful sub. Almost looks like it should be sitting next to the JBL L300

 

Wow! Where did you find it?

 

Wow Chris, when did you find this? Obviously, I haven't been looking hard enough! Congratulations, I've been looking for one for a long time too.

Can I come over to see it?

 

Thank You! I think it's been about a month. It was part of a larger deal in which I took the B460 and a friend of mine got a bunch of Soundcraftsmen gear. I would love to have you over as soon as I get one of my spare 2245s reconed with a new JBL cone. The one I have seems to be good, but I'd rather have a fresh recone. I'm going to bridge a JBL UREI 6260 and call it a day with that and the rest of the system.

I was sitting in a movie theater watching Spiderman a few weeks ago and the bass extension wasn't even close to what I can get with that B460 and 2245. That's when I realized my system was pretty special. It's pretty amazing.

 

I've heard them and you're lucky to have one. The only thing better is two!

No B460 here but I do have two 2245s in my main system's 4345s :thmbsp::

 

Beautiful. What does it look like clothed?

 

Beautiful! I once had the chance to get a 4343, but never a 4345. Would love to have a pair. I do have a pair of L300s though and I was wondering where you got those wood lenses for the horn!

 

Amazing sub! Congratulations on a super score!

 

Wow, that's pretty damn nice looking

 

Very nice find!

Is it a passive or active subwoofer?

 

very nice indeed!

 

These came from Kenji in Japan (Kenrick Sound: www.JBL43.com) but I don't think they sell the lenses anymore. One of the guys who makes the L100 foam grilles made some that weren't quite as delicate looking but they were a great price. I'll see if I can find a link.

sweet looking sub. (You dont really need it. you dont really need it. you dont really need it. give it to budget!)
Bet my chances of finding one is next to nil.

 

Style-wise, goes better with the L300 than the L250/250Ti, likely sounds better with the 250Ti though no slouch with the L300, IMHO.

 

DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. Nos this is a sweet looking sub. I cannot imagine how great it must sound.
