JBL jrx Powered 18inch Subwoofer

Mahalo all, it is hard on the island to buy gear,,,, Shipping here kills me and sometimes almost ads 1/3 to the cost...

I have the EV Zxa 5's and sometimes a tad more thump would be nice.... I don't like buying 1 speaker mostly, but the deal sounded good.... but it's not a deal if the speaker has a bad rep.
 
Hey chuck are you good at woodworking or know someone who is?
If so you can build a thumping folded horn sub for about the price of that jbl.

He will need a bigger car! :trirolleyes:
 
For his back he will! Them amps will kill him. The bikini girls have already taken years off his life! :yoBiggrin::yoBiggrin::yoBiggrin:
 
I think he's in good shape after all he golfs and he also has to sprint when his wife comes after him with the sword so no worries there :D:D:D:D:D

In the metallic aspect of things yes she the one that stabs. In Rob's realm that's another story :D:D:D:D

To add to my reasoning. JRX series are made from particle board (mdf) One good fall or sometning hitting the cabinet will damage the cabinet. All of their higher lines use plywood (birch for most).

A little off topic and Not a stab at you Dr Z, just trying to get educated myself- but I find it amazing how every MDF made speakerbox is crucifed but the EV TourX somehow has been spared the " Entry Level" designation even though they are also made with MDF.
They do state that it is "Plywood and MDF with EVCOAT " but would not clarify how much of each is actually used. So is some MDF and some Plywood acceptably equal to 100% Plywood ? Just wondering.
It really sounds like Marketing speak to avoid being called an MDF cab. For all we know, the back side might be the only plywood piece.

EV's TourX link BTW

While I'm not sure of this but I believe the only part that is MDF is the speaker board.....
 
i've had my JRX118P for a while now,they get beat up by a xti4000 and driven hard most times and i'm yet to have a problem.
 
did someone bring up my wife and her sword??????

JRX series is the bottom of the pro JBL line and sound accordingly. If you hear their higher end you would hear the difference. Eons are workhorses but the sound like ass.

I'll vouch for the JRX series and their durablility...they can take as much abuse as you can deliver and keep on ticking (which is one reason they are more commonly associated with bands). Are they the greatest sound quality on the planet... nope, but every speaker has compromises that are made.
