Awesome! Those are it!!!!

They have no woofers/tweeters. Are these worth restoring to original?

Yes... very much so. These are VERY classic speakers.
Late 70s early 80s JBLs very best at that time
The hardest part will be the crossover. I hope its there.
Best of luck.

These guys can probably help.

They have been mounted in the wall of this place I recently got. Yes, really in perfect contition minus not original/jbl woofers & missing 1 supertweeter. Crossovers there. Even found the horn diffusors.

you will find they actually sound better soffit mounted then free standing (obviously) but only IF the soffit is built correctly . . . . also dependent on the replacement (non original components)

Well, I can't keep them in the room they were in. I've been in the process of building/restoring a ollld facility. The guy who has the room they are in wants em gone. I took them! Appears to be generic woofers. Actually dug around and found 3 MESSED up 2231H & 1 New 2202H & the supertweeter clamps.


Morons used epoxy on excursion....

So close on getting these to original now. One last things I need is an external Xover for the amps. I found a JBL 5234 ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER which was made for these? It says it has the 1200Hz cards. Would these be best or should i go with an Ashley or one of the DBX Driveracks?

Any help & suggestions welcomed!

The Driverack 260 is a VERY versatile piece of equipment.

I have reverse engineered several proprietary active crossover units and used a 260 in their place with great results.
I drag a 260 along on almost every live event I do from arenas, sports compexes, corporate and too many music mixing events to recall.
In fact, I just installed my personal unit in a big install and I think I am going to have gto repace it ASAP!
