modify JBL 502VX

old school 6

New Member
Hello all. Looking for some guidance. I have a set of JBL 502VX 2-way speakers. I've had them since they were brand new. I am aware that these are a poor attempt by JBL at making a more entry level speaker. I do wish to restore them by installing new 8-inch mid/bass drivers. The mid/bass drivers were problematic for this model. Had to replace them several since they were new.

I am very aware that these are typically not worth restoring, however, there is a deep sentimental attachment. I would like to install an 8" driver that will hold up better without breaking the bank. These will by no means be a primary set, I have Klipsch Heresy II's powered by a Harmon Kardon 700 series Pre+Power amp combo for that. I have a few amps/receivers in various rooms (thanks to Goodwill stores & estate sales). I just want to get them working again.

I know very little about interpreting driver specs. I have done a little shopping on various marketplaces (Amazon/ebay/etc...) & don't know what/how to choose. I have attached the spec sheet for this series. I'd appreciate any advice!
