Yet another one to add to the recone bill!

Had a little "mishap" with one of our JBL cabs and lost a 2226H driver. :Q

That driver is quite old and has been through a lot but died today. Imagine a speaker getting struck by lightning and it may look (and sound!) like this one did. :Q

The BOOM! was quite loud and security was down here pronto - they said it sound like we got shot at. :shocked:

Some pictures -

voice coil and kapton former shot - this is a 4" edgewound voice coil!

These drivers are conservatively rated at 600W continuous (IEC) pink noise 24/7 and can handle 3000W peaks in the box with ease.

Dude, K10s are insane. No surprise that it did what it did to that "poor little JBL", lol.

You let the smoke out! They don't sound good without smoke.
