is there a cheap - reasonable substitute for JBL's 125A ?

[freddi]

just wondering as have L36 - - whomever re-foamed them years ago used a heavy foam pushing fs and qts way up. I wonder about a recone kit as don't know the health of the alnico magnets.

- didn't bother to look at the port nor box dims but a quick sim indicates peaking (?)\

published mass looks off -? perhaps Sd = 390 ?

Also watch out how stiff a spider they used. If I recall the 125 uses C stiffness while many other job drivers use a D

Hmm, an 8+ft^3 Vas and 25 Hz Fs for cheap? Sounds mutually exclusive to me.

I'll try to re-foam them. One of the spiders was warped - not looked at those 125A for a "decade". (JBL's Decade foam would last about a decade - would their Century do a Century? - ) The re-foam done on them before I got the L36 had fs at least 50Hz - thick foam surround.

I'm a fan of the Cerwin Vega V-12S.

They have an FS of 28Hz and a VAS of four cubic feet.

They cost $22.

Quite an amazing deal from Apex Jr.

You could wire two of them in parallel to achieve your goal of eight cubic feet

I refoamed a couple of JBL 127H1.

TS with new foam surround is below.

May just fit your L36.
