2416H 2417H Modern Direct Replacement?

That's a tuff spot. There are later thread on's but don't know how low and if the compensation curve will match the driver. Can't believe how expensive they are! You could do aftermarket diaphragms to get started have you looked for OEM replacements on Ebay?

If you can, find a cheap pair or 2425S's or 2426's as an upgrade that will work. You can get JBL replacement diaphragm's both 8 and 16

There is a new OEM 2415H diaphragm on eBay right now, I'm not sure what the difference is? The 2417H diaphragm will not fit the 2416H motor because the phase plug is taller.

The complete aftermarket drivers on eBay made by LASE are only $50.00 plus $27.00 shipping. I may buy one to experiment. From what I have read the aftermarket stuff isn't that good, but these are only garage speakers, and my ears aren't that good.

I see why most of these old speakers are parted out now. The parts are way more valuable than the complete speaker.
