Need Advice on replacement driver selection for my JBL N24II

[Jezza]

Hi all,

I recently discovered that my 4" driver on one of my JBL N24II's is busted. I'd like to replace the driver myself but am not having any luck finding a good replacement driver that matches the specs of the N24II's

N24II specs.
Max Rec. Amp Power : 100W
Nominal Impedance : 8 Ohm
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) : 86dB
Freq. Resp : 75Hz - 20kHz
Cross. Freq: : 3000Hz


The closest match I found was a Goldwood GW-4028/S 4" Woofer, but its lower limit freq is only 80Hz and its sensitivity is different (at 84dB).

Does anyone know what driver I should get to match the sound of my other, intact, JBL N24II.

I would really appreciate any advice, thanks!!!

You can't replace a driver with one of a different type. Get your broken driver reconed, that will be your best and cheapest solution.

Try contacting JBL directly. Manufactures often times have inventory of older drivers from previous models.

I was shocked when Paradigm had some drivers from there v.2 Monitor series which is 10 years old.

Thanks for the information, I checked out the JBL website and ended up ordering the proper replacement

Good choice. Changing out the driver to an alternate with different specs, or even same specs wouold have changed the overall tone/sound of the speakers that may not have been to your liking.

Good move. This is always the best way to go. Ebay is also a good place if a manufacture does not have a replacement.
