I have about a half dozen pairs of 15" 2-way passive speakers (JBL) that are visually obsolete. They all work fine, have had new drivers, (2226H) etc. added over time and even new cabinets built for them. They are all in great condition and I have always liked how they sound and their reliability but, the look is old school rectangular cabs and gray carpet so they don't get used often. I tend to grab my active pairs instead.
I've decided I can get new life from these by building new Trapezoidal cabinets. I plan to include both PA fixing points and floor monitor angles, and finish them with a modern textured black satin finish.
The problem now - is finding the time to actually get it done. I plan to set aside a day to cut all the pieces into kits and then assemble and finish each pair as time allows.
Anyone else given their old dogs a new trick?
