JBL 2416H Diaphragm Kits

Post by Bill Plemmons »

Do any of you "Pro Sound" guys know of a source for reasonably priced, after market diaphragm kits for JBL 2416H HF drivers? I need 2 of them. OEM list price is $149.00 which is a little out of my budget range. I may replace them with Peavey RX 22 drivers which are less expensive to repair. Any thoughts?

JBL/Peavey Drivers

Bari, I agree with your assessment that by installing Peavey drivers in a JBL cab that the JBL cab may sound a bit different. But, that is not exactly the "whole story". The crossover has to change as well as the crossover is an integral part of the cabinet design and how it is voiced.
