[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 58526, member: 34"] Re: Jbl stx828s The new boxes use the same drivers that existed in the 90s in the SR-X series and the like. The SR4719X was a good sub that used the 2241, and the new STX828S uses the better 2242 from back then. There is someone on this forum that has custom subs using the 2242 driver, I'm sure they sound good. JBL makes great sub drivers. These new subs use old, but good, drivers and while the box design does contribute significantly to the overall performance of the product, I wouldn't expect anything miraculous from these. However, the full range products in the series are supposed to use greybox tunings like Vertec V5 with Itech HD, so I expect that they will sound [I]very [/I]good, even using the old drivers. PS - My SRX728S are working hard and I have zero intention of replacing them. PPS- I don't want fixed casters anyway, because when I make cardioid or endfire arrays things become ugly or impossible. Wheels also get in the way when I have to back the sub up to a stage or wall. PPPS- 728 is 3 inches shorter on its side. That should not be a make-or-break difference. [/QUOTE]
