agree with you, I think it was just their time to go, I have absoutly ragged them in the past and they have stood up to it well. anyway;

 
I shall be ordering new paint, horns, and comps a week today. going to get busy sanding them down and making bigger cutouts for the new horns, handles and ports. Decided to go for 1.4" Paudio drivers in the end on  wide dispersion Paudio horns.
 
Still haven't completely made my mind up on using neo drivers yet.

Tell JBL to make better crossovers. I was running them on a CaudioGB602, it was no where near clipping, The amp was cruising at probably 1/2-2/3 power. Only one side blew so I still had some sound thankfully.


I've pumped thousands of Matrix watts into them in the past, with no issues. (at a 72 hour festy, running prettty much all the time)
Maybe it was a funny transient in the track or something wrong with the amplifier...or maybe even just a dodgy crossover. It does happen. Don't think it's a reason to diss the whole brand :)

To be honest, I have used these speakers a lot and they have done an excelent job so far, but its time for an upgrade, and this problem has made me decide to take the step. I have never really liked the top end performance they have either.

I know quite a few poeple who have blown the crossovers on the JRX series. 
Behind me is infinite power.
Before me is endless possibility.
Around me is boundless opportunity.
Why should I fear?

How the hell have you managed to blow those crossovers? Those boxes are indestructible in my opinion. I've given them 1000wrms all weekend long doing dubstep full range. The crossover were glowing but even then didn't blow.

running a shallow semi circular file around the hole consistantly seems to work, enlarged my behingers to PD186 easily enough - just filled old holes, filed about 1.5mm out and added new holes+tee's.

Took all of 15-20mins!

well according to the fane website the cutout should be 352mm, The cut out in the cabs at the moment is 354mm, so it should be fine.

also what do you guys reccon of this comp/horn combo? The horn will just squeeze in if I get handy with a jigsaw. 

comp- http://www.paudiothailand.com/showproduct.cfm?id=530

Horn- http://www.paudiothailand.com/showproduct.cfm?id=556

I can then put the current horns and comps in another box.

As I have said before Its too cold and horrid outside for me to be slaving away making cabs at the moment. It will be a summer job. I am not too worried about resale value, I got the cabinets at decent price and when I am finished with them I will load them up with their original 15" drivers and use them as sidefills or sell them, or to save anyone else the hassle burn them.
