A 416 dilemma. What to do?

[GM]

I have a pair of JBL d130f that, like Pano?s 416s, are sitting unused because they sound like #$%^. Mine also have the higher than spec Qes values. I wonder if a remag would create any sonic miracles !

I seriously doubt it as this can't have the correct re-cone kit in it, assuming one is still available. A good way to tell if a re-cone is 'close enough' to spec WRT the balance between Fs, Vas, Qts is to compare its measured sensitivity to published or some known good driver and allow ~ +/-10%.
