    Going to try to restore these JBL L200s

    Back in Dec. 2023 my wife and I were on a walk with the dog when we walked past what at first I thought were two very large cardboard boxes (it was dark). When I looked closer, there was a hand-written sign that said, "Free JBLs!" I immediately returned home, jumped in my pickup, and made my...

    The True Sound of Classic JBL D110F's May be But a Memory Some Day!

    So, I got a pair of original JBL D110F 10" speakers a while back. And I noticed the kits in them were a lot more basic than a person may think. I was hoping to recone them, because they had a bad rub... they ALL seem to have bad rubs at this late date, if they have original kits. But that's the...
