    JBL Sub keeps blowing fuses.

    I have a JBL Sub150 that I have been using in my main system for a few years. The other day, I noticed that it was not outputting anything. I pulled the fuse, and sure enough, it was blown. I ordered some replacements, just to rule out a faulty or old fuse. Well, it blows it a second after power...

    Advise on foam surround of JBL 6" 115H-1 woofer (4406, L20T)

    Hi, I am looking for a 115H-1 woofer, but so far the few I've seen seem to have a somewhat crumpled (non-foam) surround, its more like a rubber type of material. This might perhaps have happened due to having been stored face down on an uneven surface for some time. I would think that the voice...

    Replacing JBL L166 L-Pad Advice

    Hey Guys - I recently restored the cabinets & drivers on a pair of old JBL L166's. I replaced the caps on the crossovers with new 4 & 8 ohm ones but when testing, something didn't sound 100% right. When adjusting the L-Pads, I got a lot of cutouts and scratching. I bought some Deoxit which...

    Identify that speaker

    I have never seen Cerwin Vega’s with this style of grill. I wonder if they are custom grills, a Cerwin Vega logo on non-cerwin Vega cabinets, or a logo that looks like Cerwin Vega but is actually something else. This is the only picture and it is part of an estate sale. Included in the listing...

    JBL Lancer 66 crossover question

    I'm working on having my long-deceased grandfather-in-law's Lancer 66s restored for active duty, and I hit a wrinkle with the crossovers, which were buried in wax. The tech I'm working with chipped the wax away from one crossover and found it did not match the online L66 schematic. Some of the...

    Thoughts on the JBL 4312m ??

    Was looking for something a little different, and came across the JBL 4312m, which was apparently only sold in Japan. They are running about $650 a pair, shipped. Any thought or opinions ? I'm guessing that I would also probably need a sub, since the woofer driver is only 6.5 inches. Ideas on...

    JBL L65 and L166 Question

    I have L166 Horizons in the process of rehab. They sound great but have noticeably damaged grills. These may go in the living room so I need something that looks good, and that means DIY I think. Something like the Jubal L65 grill would look more JBL-ish than something that is just flat I...

    L166 Horizon new owner

    I got a pair of fair condition L166 that are in great shape acoustically. I will be restoring them slowly over time. The grills have the usual dings and also as usual are resistant to any fix I know of. Anyone have experience or advice in repair/refurbishing/replacement of these?
