VTypeV4 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Hey guys, I've just picked up a pair of these in good working order for a song.. Not sure what to use them for yet. I'm considering a hand built compact 2x15 + HF as one option. Or possibly a build a pair of Cubo 15" type subs for PA or even an oldskool compact folded horn..???? Like I said, not sure yet.. Just asking for opinions on these borderline vintage units? I'm sure they've been surpassed by modern and neo speakers, hell, even JBL themselves make the 2226H as an update.. Cheers, chaps and chapesses. Quote
Grissle Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Great low end but start rolling off around 1.5k so you may need a mid driver. Check this site for specs: http://www.jblpro.com/pub/obsolete/2225hj.pdf And here for cab dimension and ports: http://www.jblpro.com/BackOffice/ProductAttachments/enclgde.pdf Quote
Anders Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I was going to write something but realised it was the 2226H i have experience from. Edited July 13, 2013 by Anders Quote
Grissle Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Was going to add that you might need to add a 6" mid driver if you need any high mids. This is also a good candidate for a 3 way setup! Quote
VTypeV4 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Posted July 13, 2013 Could be interesting.. a 2x15 with a 6 pluf HF.. it'd cover everything I'd ever need! From what I've read, they're a tough old thing being one of the premium 15 inch drivers of their day. Quote
VTypeV4 Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) When I said TWO in good working order, I really meant just one.. Not to worry as it's cost me even less now! I'll put a pic up in a bit.

VTypeV4 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 Does anyone know if they can be re-coned as a 2226H? Quote
JTUK Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Got a couple of K140D, IIRC at home. Was wondering what I could recone them with... as one works afaik, but the other is fried. Free to a good home. if someone will collect Sorry to intrude on the OP. Quote
VTypeV4 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Posted July 18, 2013 How far down south are you? Don't worry about the threadjack, it's all relevant.. Quote
VTypeV4 Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 I was hoping you were gonna say Cornwall as i'm heading that way in a few weeks.. Is postage an option, I'm willing to cover all costs plus a few quid to make ity worthwhile...? Quote
JTUK Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Possibly... Let me explore a few options. I know someone who has to deliver to Hull and Teesport Ports...but I don't know how or if the parcels could be collected from there. I will check that out and also P&P.. Quote
