JBL recone

Hello to all on this beautiful Valentines day. I hope you all are enjoying the company of another! However, lol... I have a question to interrupt your festivities. I'm sure this question has been asked... Owning a pr. of JBL 2205J woofers, I wanted to know of anybody taking any 15" frame and having it re-coned to match a different model's spec.? Turning a 2205j into a 2226H for instance...? Is this possible and to what success?

You can put the wrong cone on the frame, but the difference is in the height of the voice coil, the thickness of the pole pieces and of course the strength of the magnetic field.

So you will get different performance but not exactly what you are aiming for.
 
You maybe correct simon7000 from PA, but like all good advice not taken, I believe I will hold out just a little longer. After all you are the only respondent so early. The devil on my other shoulder doesn't agree... Yet. lol.
 
That frame is almost universal WRT JBL. You can't put in a 2226 as it has a different frame. But you could put in a 2225/2231/2234/2235 all have the same frame.
