That was pretty early on in getting the whole thing up and running. I had bought 2 drivers with aftermarket kits (right channel) and one driver with a JBL 2245 (left) along with two JBL recones. Some months before I'd blown one of the aftermarket kits when an old amp passed DC. Our friend here, Clark needed a 2245 to replace one of the woofers in his 4345s that had been damaged in a freak accident. JBL kits were gone by then so I sent him the woofer on the left which matched his and installed the spare JBL recones you have now in what had been the aftermarket pair. That was about 2017/18 best I can recall.Originally Posted by DerekTheGreat
...That is a cool picture. I notice the 2245 on the right looks different from the left. Both of them now look like the left one. Funny thing is, rusty said he's surprised I haven't blown a driver yet with all my old, moldy amps and all the dangerous watts I've been throwing at 'em. Yet clearly he's blown at least one of the biggins up with his little amplifiers. Oh the irony! Gives me quite a laugh. So yeah, take that Rusty!

Lesson learned. I wouldn't use amplifiers without protection on the outputs (or output transformers) or a speaker protection circuit with these unobtainium drivers any longer.
