    OT: So what's an 18" JBL K151-4 good for?

    An Alnico pig in a poke So I got the poke. Or what do you get when proverbially loose that game? just an ugly or un-tasty pig? What it was supposed to be was a 3184 or 3182.

    Supposedly a great bass guitar driver. Calling OG! He's got to have an opinion... :-)

    Will get some T/S on it tomorrow or so.

    The K series is JBL music instrument stuff. I found it in the 76 catalog.
    It's a good speaker. I would suggest perhaps a mono center sub? Below about 110 Hz is non-directional anyway. T/S parameters here:

    Look for "Bertha" or "Big Bertha" plans.

    A gerbil is good for nothing. Have some fun. Plug it in to a wall outlet and see how long lasts. For even more, fun place it face down. But make sure you have a long cord !!!

    Repeatedly timed out for me, but is archived: Wayback Machine

    Folks might want to DL in case Harmon is 'cleaning house' again.

    There was a time, but there's better nowadays and probably a lot cheaper, though still pretty 'rich for my blood'. Prosound drivers have come a long ways in the last decade.

    Yeah, worked for me recently too, so wondering if during all this slack time they're doing 'house cleaning' and/or upgrades or maybe decided it's not accessed enough to keep, especially since it's archived.
