JBL 4642a subs?
« on: June 30, 2009, 01:53:46 PM »

hello, i found a nice pair of the 4642 subs that were in a club. They're the install type THX approved subs. Sound nice.

I was wondering if anyone was using these in a SR type situation? they're heavier than 4719s by about 20 lbs, no handles, only push wire connections on the back. But, I was thinking of mod'ing them with installed handles, and speakon input panels. The price is fair enough as to seriously consider them. Would they match up with my 4718Xs well enough? ..same drivers..

I use them in a theatre I mix in. I was just inside them measuring to build a copy of the cabinet out of baltic birch for mobile use. I wouldn't try it with the MDF enclosure as the edges will crush with a light drop. The 4718X is not half of a 4642a, it's tuned differently, so they're not going to couple any better than any other mismatched 18" subs, despite the same 2241 in each.

There are a lot of 4719's around.  Getting the same thing is always good.
