What model JBL speaker are these?

JBL L166, shame on the woofers!
I know, they don't realize that a refoam is easy or inexpensive. They also don't think about the value for resale.
I don't know the context of where these are, but it's always worth asking if they still have the old woofers, or in all honesty I would buy and part out for the right price.

Those tweeters are worth quite a bit.
Ruined those cool grills too.

What's this ?
Yeah, those JL woofers aren't junk. I've had two thumping bass in various vehicles that have lasted 25 years.

They can be restored though. Here is one of that same pair, thanks to AK. A little loving care, and some money for new woofers goes a long way. Just make sure to pay little enough for the pair to justify buying woofers, or you may as well just buy a nice pair of complete speakers.

Looks like lunch is back on!

I'm sure that they thought that JL woofers were the newer models made after "B" left the company. Seems reasonable to me.....

The 066 diaphragms are unobtanium afaik so I would buy them just for the tweets and mids if they're working.
This guy has some other stuff also, a Nakamichi cassette deck he says cost over 2 grand, and some very nice Sony separates that look to be early 70's with wood cabinets. I'm planning a trip down to check everything out, he says he is looking for the original woofers, he's not sure if he kept them.
