JBL 2245H True Reproduction Recone Kit w/Aquaplas From Upland Loudspeaker

Description

Thanks very much for viewing my listing.
JBL Professional no longer manufactures many recone kits for the vast line of vintage loudspeakers. Professional Series and Consumer models have been discontinued since the production line had been moved from Northridge, CA to Mexico. Production quality issues could not be remedied in Mexico, so the decision by Harman/JBL was to simply discontinue the parts leaving hundreds of thousands of outstanding loudspeakers unsupported by the factory after 50 years of continuous support of the finest loudspeakers ever manufactured by an American company.
What is pictured for sale here is my version of a pre-assembled recone kit for the venerable JBL 2245H 18" subwoofer that adheres as close as possible to the production/assembly techniques that were used in Northridge, CA for decades on the JBL Professional production line. This recone kit is interchangeable with the following identical speaker frames:
2240, E155, 2245. With this recone kit installed, the result is a 2245H(8 ohms)
This is the only drop-in kit available anywhere that uses the identical material known as "Aquaplas" applied to the rear of the cone. The process takes days to build this kit. Without this extremely important ingredient, you will NOT have a 2245H.
The details that make this kit stand out from typical aftermarket parts is the treatment of the rear of the cone with the identical material known as "Aquaplas", making this recone kit a true reproduction. The moving mass of the assembly matches the JBL Engineering Standard . The voice coil is edgewound copper
ribbon wire faithful to OEM dimension and DC resistance for nominal 8 ohms impedance, wound on a high power Kapton former. The early models of the 2245H had white Aquaplas on the rear of the cone. Later models models were coated with black Aquaplas. The only difference is the color. Later factory kits were black.
The kit will include a small bottle of black adhesive and a proper centering shim. Please be versed in the art of reconing or have a qualified tech do the work for you. Assembly details matter.
If you would like for me to do the recone, simply ship the speaker to me and add .00 for labor and return shipping. I've been Factory Authorized Service for JBL Professional since 1988, so you can be sure the assembly will be pristine.
Shipping will be via USPS, FedEx Ground or UPS Ground.
More recone kit models will be available in pictures soon. See my other listings.
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to servicing your JBL Loudspeakers with the care respect they deserve.
