[QUOTE="Bob Leonard, post: 14716, member: 51"] Re: What sort of rig are you running? OK, I might as well tell the story. About 4 years ago, maybe longer, I had a pair of Bag End subs I was using. I really liked these subs, had used them for a number of years, they had great tone, and filled the bill. Best of all they didn't need much power and they were perfect for small gigs. I have a very large basement, 40'x70', and that's where the band pratices, where I rebuild amps, record, etc. I went down to the basement one day, fired up the rid to do a little recording work, and heard the worst sound you can imagine coming from the left sub. One quick look was all it took to know my cat had pissed all over the grill, and it ran down into the driver soaked the cone and it tore all around the edge. Not only did the little prick get the left sub, but the right, and so both were junk. I worked with Charlie Tappa of Pro Sound Service in Braintree, MA, some of the good folks at JBL, and eventually determined that I could put the 2242H into the Bag End cabinets with some minor modifications. The best part of the mod was that the Bag End cabinets were identical in size to the SRX718 which had just come out and I only needed to modify the driver opening and the port. The modified subs have all the characteristics of the 718, are the same size, but actually compliment the 718 with lower frequency response. The 2252H is not a cheap driver and is still current production. Most places sell them for $650-$700 so you don't see or hear a lot of them. Here's the specs.
