Hi, I'm planning a clone of JBL 4355 but I have the problem to find the JBL 2202 and JBL 2441 (central ways).
A friend proposed to me the JBL 2204 to replace the JBL 2202 and the JBL 2446 to replace the JBL 2441 (always to be combined with the horn 2311 and the lens 2308): do you think it is a good choice?
Thanks
Giuseppe

As i'm aware JBL 2441=JBL 2445, main difference being AlNiCo vs Fe magnet in motor.

Use JBL 2445 (Fe magnet so probably as good as it gets regarding flux strength) with Radian alu diaphragm.

Run away from JBL 2204h for that implementation.



Since JBL 2202H became unobtanium, almost exact match would be a midrange from Beyma or 18sound.

Eighteen Sound - Professional loudspeakers

Here are JBL specs for you to decide yourself.

Hi, I'm at the end of my project, I have all the speakers except the JBL 2311 horns, which I can't find and if I find them they are very expensive. I thought about cloning them, I have the profile of the horn but I miss the original size and for that I need a little help. Could any of you provide me with the exact dimensions of the JBL 2311 horn?
- height / length of the horn
- internal diameter of the mouth
- internal diameter of the throat
- external diameter of the two flanges
- distance of the first flange from the end of the mouth
- diameter and distances of the holes in the two flanges
- the thicknesses
Hoping for your help, I thank you
