Hehe, don't take things so personally bud. I'm only messing with you. As another piece of advise if you hold down the control key you can use your mouse wheel to change the size of fonts etc in a browser window.

Congrats on your new scoops Levyte!

Hey Tony... don't feel bad.. there's never any shortage of well meaning humour round here.
I was honestly trying to help, if you struggle to read small text then typing big only helps you read your posts, for the rest I thought you'd appreciate knowing you can do something about it.. Honestly, it was just a thought..

Good morning 357
If the source of these cabs has not been interupted, the speakers speakers should be 2240 8 ohms. keep me informed regarding progress with your system.

HE HAD HEARD AN OLD A.S.S. SYSTEM USEING J.B.L. AND HAD A FIXATION ON THEM. SO HIS WISH WAS OUR COMMAND.
 
Tony, were these JBL 18's not such a good choice ?
 
What's the preffered (better) driver to sound the best in these ASS Scoops ?

The scoop bin, whether a.s.s. or something else is a very versatile cab when it comes down to speaker choice. no one should doubt the quality of sound from a j.b.l. speaker. sometimes, people want someting other than smooth and clean.
The RX18 cabs that we build contain the B and C 18NW100 (neos). 1850, 186 will always be good. I've always used the biggest amps i could get to ensure headroom. Usually at 8 ohms
hope this helps. T.

Respect Levy, I manage to get hold of the last pair of ASS RX18 out of Hammersmith Palais.
 
I now see what you mean by need tarting up, but they weren't that bad.
 
It's only when you own these & stand up next to them you realize how big they are.
 
I stood them up next to Shortmans scoops last night in the van & bwoy, what a difference.

Tony, do you mean these drivers are the JBL 2240H/G 600watters ? (Continous Program Power Capacity whatever that is ?)
What happened to the regular RMS & Peak ?
 
Just checked the specs again & looks like the model 'G' are the 4ohm versions & the model 'H' the 8ohm ones.
 
 
Looking at the label on the back of a driver on Ebay, (a used pair of these which sold for £256.00) there's no power capacity on it.

Well done.

I'm thinking about which drivers to stick in mine till 186's/1850's are back on the scene. Not using my 186's until  drivers/recone kits are readily  available.

Thinking about best drivers I can trust for £100 each used.

Probably Bline 800w, V18, TBX100.

Anyone tried the Celestion FTR18 yet ?

I know what you mean. I got a feeling the v18's shouldn't sound too bad in them, but PD will be the ruler & will sound a bit lower, if you like the thunderous weight-line.
 
Don't you fancy the B & C Neo's that Tony sells his RX18's loaded with ?
 
One of the members says he loves the sound of his new 6 RX18's he got the other day with these Neos.
 
I tried these RX18 last night with the JBL 2240 driver in a community center & found out one of the speakons ain't connected in one of the cabs.
 
It was Ok but weren't up to my standard (deep/low) so ended up using the Mini scoop from Mr Ultimate which was loaded with a V18-1000.
 
People there couldn't believe when they saw me swapping the large scoop with a smaller one & it sounding much rounder, fuller & more sensitive.
